Hi everyone, It's been some time since we've released an update or a status update on Cedega. We're truly sorry for that. We've been hard at work behind the scenes with much love from our Beta Team on working to release an updated version of Cedega. With the recent Steam UI update, some games began to fail to launch. We announced that over on the forums here. We have decided to address this by pushing out our latest workings in the form of a Public Beta release to all Cedega Members. This version is being tagged as Public Beta Release 2010052. The release includes a significant number of changes to the engine, installer, UI and updater. All existing installations of Cedega should auto-update to the latest version for current Members. For new installations, we are supplying only the following packages: * 32/64-bit .deb packages for Ubuntu * 32-bit .rpm for Fedora * tgz for all other distributions These are the supported distributions at this time. If there is significant demand for other distributions, we will look into supporting them in the future. This release is primarily intended to address issues with launching games under the updated Steam interface. That said, there are some known issues with Steam including web views not loading correctly at times, and the inability to purchase games within the client. Given that this is a Public Beta, some issues may be expected. The best way to troubleshoot if the issue is related to this release is to try reverting to engine version 7.3.3 and trying to reproduce the issue. If you feel you have come across an issue that should be addressed with a Cedega Certified title, please post a bug report on the beta forum here. |
I forgot about that member link issue, even though I've copied over posts before because of it.

Anyways, on the subject of 64bit. Against the platform I showed in the first thread... no go. Game crashes straight out. Quakelive works, so I've got OpenGL acceleration under Fglrx 10.5. That being said, I've got some really odd rendering errors too.

oh ug. Catalyst 10.5 has a couple of nasty 64bit OpenGL regressions. Bugs filed to ati.cchtml.com While I compile the screenshots, here's City of Heroes working with Catalyst 10.4 with an ultra mode setting in a 64bit enviroment:

Oig. Catalyst 10.5 has OpenGL rendering issues PERIOD.

My congratulations to TransGaming, for almost catching up to where Wine was during the Issue 17 open beta.
(Wine works just fine with the 9.11 ATI drivers, and possibly with older ones.)

The update also brings with it a 64bit UI installation package. I have not yet TRIED this installation package, so I don't know if it works yet with CoH.

With this beta all ATi users with Catalyst 10.1, 10.4, or 10.5 should be able to run Ultra Mode options atop RadeonHD graphics cards.
Nvidia users are still SOL. Even with the latest beta 256 driver, Ultra Mode still isn't exposed to the end user.\

Well, this is hopeful:
As a note, if you are using a Mixed Debian system, such as Mepis like I'm using, you'll probably need to force the Debian repositories to load from testing as Cedega now requires the ia32-libs package for 64bit installs.
