Is this vulnerable to the security flaws fixed in Firefox version 16.0.1?

I guess the big question is, does it make Guild Wars 2 run better. I'm yet to own the game but I think that will be the point people want to know about.

It seems to run EverQuest 1 much better.

I'm also interested about GW2 - but I'm also a Crossover customer, so I'm certain it'll work fine on release

I just tried guild wars 2 with wine 1.5.15 and there is very little change in terms framerate improvements. I get around 30 fps on i7-2600K with 8 GB of RAM and a Nvidia 580 GTX. According to the bug reports on winehq, the problem seems to be the lacking support of multicore processors in wine.

WINE 1.5.14 works extremely well and this garbage is constantly locking installers of basic thins like VC , PHYSX , YOU name it


WORSE, it's completely RANDOM

You've obviously got a selective memory... I recall Wine 1.3.20 being one of the most specatular fails ever

The rule of thumb is always keep an older/non-development version of Wine kicking about - for doing real stuff
