[Fixed] Linux client (Wine/virtual)

[rain_gloom]

Longs story short: both Visual C++ packages download and fail.

Versions: Ubuntu 14.10, Wine 1.6.2

Arch: x64

Wine arch: x86/x64 (both give the same results)

Emulated windows: XP/8

Vanilla SA runs perfectly and I copied every font from XP into Wine's font folder. As per the MTA wiki I should have a working installation and be free from MS. (because MTA is the only thing keeping me)

I also tried VirtualBox, but SA lags as hell, even with 3D acceleration, so I haven't even tried MTA.

PCI passthrough could be an option, but only Xen supports it without IOMMU.

Did anyone ever succeed with running MTA on Linux?

Would older MSVCR versions work?

Solution: Installed Wine 1.7 (beta)

Now MTA works pretty OK, but I'll have to test a few servers to confirm.

So far I have only tried FFS and that kicks me out, seems to be an SD issue.
