    I don't think you'll get much if any official support for this. Let's face it, you took a bit risk by buying a game and presuming it'd work in Wine anyway. :/

    WINE/Linux is not officially supported at this time. Minimum system requirements include a Windows-based OS. Transferring this to TS in the event a Winehack or method becomes available.

    I cant seem to get the menu UI working in Wine. Did you? Just wanna check the performance. I can get the console working in windowed mode, so ill try to connect to a server...just need an address to test.

    I dont have a windows partition now, so ill try my best to get it to work in wine.
    Hopefully UWE can set aside some time to get it working on linux natively. Would be great to see NS2 on Steams Linux version when its out of beta. Ill bet it wont be that many games(outside those that are already supported on linux), at the launch, and it would be a great marketing opportunity for UWE to be on that probably very short list of supported games.

    You can check out servers on the web-based browsers. They list the IP address too :)

    Here is what I have so far:
    Wine 1.5.16
    Install d3dx9 and vcrun2008 with winetricks.
    Might need to start steam with -no-dwrite for fonts to display

    Once in the game, no menu background is displayed.
    Trying to host a training server crashes the game
    You can't see anything ingame, because the sceen flickers too hefty, but with build228 they reduced the bloom flicker, wil test that today

    As of now, it is not playable with wine, or does anyone have different results?
