I never seemed to be able to get the fonts to work properly with Counter-Strike 1.5. Can you post your wine config file? The alternative was/is cedega, but I felt more inclined to boot windows than pay even more money to get a game to work (my .02) Props to ID and epic for supporting alternative platforms. UT* and Quake/Doom series work very well as I understand it (I played UT2004 and QuakeIII on FreeBSD with great success) --Aaron Andrew P. wrote: > Hello! > > I'm sorry to bother you all guys, but this issue has really become a > crusade for me :) > > I'm trying to play Counter-Strike 1.5 on FreeBSD - over network > > The easy part was to install wine, closed-source nvidia drivers, > launch CS1.5 - and even play on the local listen server with some > bots.
