No, I can't. :( My laptop has Win98/Mdk9.2 dual boot so that I can extract&install TC-Isle in Windows then play it in Linux. And I use the winex 3.3.1 rpm from http://ivanleo.spedia.net/ , perhaps now it's time I shall try the cvs-20041223 version on that site...

MP you could use the CVS version of Cedega/Winex like yochenhsieh has and it wouldn't cost a thing.

Mmmm... I can't run Trespasser with the Cedega-cvs on my laptop, and therefore I switch back to WineX-3.3.1...
Dan, I noticed that when I run TC-Isle&TresED with Winex, they wrote new tpass.ini&tresed.ini in my home directory and didn't read the original *.ini files. Did that happen to you as well? :?

This is an area I'm not familiar with. How would I know that it wrote new ones? Would it help to post the contents of my .ini files here? I think I know where they are.

yochenhsieh, are you notiicing tremendous stability when running TresEd under Winex? IsToR and I did a few experiments running TresEd under Linux, and never could get it to crash! :)

If I'm remembering correctly, there seems to be at least one early version of Cedega that wouldn't allow you to even load the game. I'm not sure I remember which one. The next release came out pretty quickly and ran Trespasser very well, so I was then happy. The latest version, 4.2 is the best yet! :yes:

yochenhsieh, you should send Transgaming.com your screenshots of Trespasser running under Winex. They are always wanting screenshots of games running successfully with it to post on their website, and I never did send them one of the actually game running.

By default(in Windows), Trespasser demo(TC-Isle) & TresED write *.ini file in the same directory where the *.exe is. For example, I installed TC-Isle at "D:\TC-Isle" and it created "D:\TC-Isle\tpass.ini". After I run TC-Isle in Linux and changed my settings, I found a new tpass.ini in my home and the original tpass.ini wasn't modified.
So, just check where you installed TC-Isle at and where is the tpass.ini which has your settings... :)

Maybe I didn't explain it in the right direction... :?
If you have TC-Isle installed at "/somewhere/TC-Isle", it should read and write "/somewhere/TC-Isle/tpass.ini" like it should did in Windows. However, in my case, it created a new ini file "/home/user/tpass.ini" and all my settings were saved there.
If you're not sure how to check that, just run TC-isle and change your settings, then find out which file has your changes.

It's convenient that different users have their own settings in their home directory. I can also run the game in Windows&Linux with different settings. :)
