Online Game Upgrading Linux Out
I have played "Star Trek Online" by Cryptic Studios for years now. Alas they are upgrading the game to DX 10&11 for Windows 7,8, and 10. I have been using WINE to play this game but WINE development has not progressed to that level of compatibility. It could be a lot worse, I use to subscribe to the game back in 2011 and in 2012 it went free to play with an item mall. It is not like my account will go away or virtual items.
Yesterday when I logged into the game, I got a notice saying the XP OS would not be supported. So I went into WINE configuration and said, this is Windows 7. The message went away and was replaced with this one.
I will miss my ST Online, but I have other games and amusements that continue to function. All those hardware and Windows elitists can talk all they want, just wait until I build an awesome game that requires a 128 bit processor, 64 TB GPU card, 512 TB of free drive space, and ALL the RAM available on the internet servers combined and then some. Bwah Hahaha!!
