Thanks for all the work you some of you guys are doing trying to get HoI3 working under WINE - as a linux user i will definitely be looking to go down this route - game arrives tomorrow i hope so will give it a go

I managed to get it to work ! Here are some screenies, as you can see the EU3*border bug exist also inside HOI3. I tested all three OffscreenRenderingMode values :
- "backbuffer" has border issues
- "pbuffer" made the game to crash while loading «processing flag»
- "fbo" has border issues and is smoothlier than «backbuffer»
Sound is working, music also. The game speed match windows XP (without intensive playing).
I run ubuntu jaunty x64, wine 1.1.27 on a Athlon 4200+ with a radeon HD*4770.
Paradox does not port its internally developed games to any other platform than the PC. Presumably the projected market for for people who would buy Linux or Mac implementations and not buy a PC implementation is too small to make the considerable extra work and testing worth it, not to mention the extra hardware and skillset needed spread over the small team.Talking about linux. Will there be a port for Macs?
I think it's very unlikely there will be any port to Mac or Linux. If you start to make a game using .NET there is no easy way to change this back. You can't create a DirectX application and simply replace it by OpenGL. After all we should be glad there is WINE and Paradox seems to care to make it compatible.
EDIT: As there is a MAC port for EU3 I eat my words and claim the opposite.
Finally, I can post here :O But still cannot create new threads.
Okay, I'm the guy currently maintaining HOI3 in the AppDB. As soon I may create threads here (my own HoI3 copy arrives mid of next week), I will create a thread similar to the EU3 one. If someone else feels like he could do this faster, feel free to do so. BTW: Maintaining HoI3 in the AppDB is volunteer work, so everyone may become app maintainer and help this great game to finally reach platinum state.
Cheers,
Daniel

There is a HOWTO just before the comments start...
1.1.28 has fixed the border issue.
One point must be cleared : when installing dotnet and vcrun through winetricks, set the windows version to win2k beforehand (with regedit). It'll clear the missing manifest errors.
