Eveything lags on wine.. :P But I agree, I haven't got Arcanum to work either. The lag kills the game unfortunately. Tried the easiest solutions, running in windowed mode etc, but to no avail so far.
Neither. Never tried any of them, only the originals back in the day then the EE's.
The next poster has played a halforc in Arcanum and experienced the racism in that game.
False. Arcanum lags2much4me (because it doesn't make use of DirectX's 3d boost which is stupid but very common in old games, and this is the only reason why you can run old games at an acceptable speed), but it's the only game that does so. So sad.
The next poster is going to be Skatan. Oh wait wrong thread zzzz. The next poster played Arcanum and knows what a great game I'm missing (I was thinking about playing it w/lag anyway while doing something else tho).
True. I played it on my brothers computer many years ago. Played a melee oriented halforc. Didn't know what I was doing really but made it quite far and the guy was fearsome in battles. Stole all EXP himself since Arcanum has one of the weirdest exp systems I ever played, you gain exp per hit, no matter if you strike or not, so any character with multiple hits per round will gain crazy amounts of exp and level superfast where as a char with a singleshot rifle will remain a underleveled goon forever. But I've only played that first time and this new round (with lag) so I am far, far, far from an expert on the game mechanics. Made anoter halforc though, just for fun since I had one last time. Figured it could be fun for nostalgic reasons. Maybe I'll go play Lionheart instead, the lag is just to much.
The next poster has recently played Lionheart (and with recently, let's say within a timespan of 3 years from now).
Well.. false. I've done some stupid things in my life of course (who hasn't after living 35ish years?), but never really got into trouble, neither with the police or others. I've had a great life actually. The only regrets I have are relating to women and relationships.
The next poster has regrets about their last relationship.
