"TransGaming has announced the release of Cedega 4.2, dubbed Gouda, giving TransGamers access to more Windows games in Linux, with greater ease.Half-Life2 Linux Two of the most highly anticipated games of the year are finally here and, with this month's release of Cedega 4.2, TransGamers will get to join the scores of happy gamers.

Cedega 4.2 supports Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and World of Warcraft. Included is support for non-power of two textures and a number of other graphical improvements.
Also provided is a new package which integrates the Mozilla ActiveX Control with Cedega to provide in-game HTML rendering for titles such as Steam, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes and EverQuest." - nicked from linux-gamers.net, please don't sue me Gladiac

From what i've heard about Transgamings definition of "supported" It might be best to wait for the next update. Although about half the people have no problems with it, the other half seem to spend a lot of time in "Loading . . ." Even though some of their rigs are better then the ones who doesn't have to wait

Anyhow me thinks cs:s is working fully, hl2 needs work and i was never found of hl:dm so i don't care :cool:

Is this available from CVS like winex was?

The cvs v will run it (as far as i know the same situation as CS and HL) but Transgaming have been bold with their licensing meaning a lot of code isn't availible in the cvs that is availible in the commercial version meaning it won't run as well.
I'm guessing on that point cause i'm late for an exam and have no time to check.

check out http://linux-gamers.net/ for an immediate answer or i'll check it when i fail Networking and return! :cool:

I might get Cedega now, it sounds tempting. It's a good idea to support TransGaming financially because if they do good, then companies will see there is money in Linux Games and will be more likely to release Linux native games. If you want to use it in the long run, then you should buy it. Now if only I could get non-buggy (ie open source) drivers for my 9800pro...

This is because Transgaming have licensed a lot of code from other parties (copy protection stuff for example) that they cannot legally distribute for free themselves.

So if you pay for it, you can get the whole shebang (you pay them, they pay third party royalties), otherwise you make do with the cvs and hope it works.

here's to hoping it works

I don't know but i once read a post stating that alot of what was in the commercial version was code to make Internet Exploder work inside Steam etc. I ran the CVS ages ago for CS when the only "problem" with Steam was that it wouldn't display html stuff in the windows because i couldn't be bothered to follow the xtra step to install IE.
