Is there a way to get UT3 working in linux?

[Chillaxed]

So i've been 3 weeks with a corrupt windows partition, i got my drive full of music out of the "in use" mode (windows crashed before corrupting) so i bought UT3 hoping to use it soon, but oh no? my windows CD is gone. I know UT3 was supposed to work in linux but the client isn't out yet, is there a way to get it working without this? WINE? any other ways??

No idea on this one. I am guessing no for now, but some Googleing might bring better results. This is not a "Google It!" type of smerk responce, it's a useful tool that you may find the answer on. Best of luck finding an answer if it can, sorry about the Windows loss.

From what I hear it supposedly runs under Wine 0.9.52 but not very well. I suppose you could run Windows as guest in Ubuntu for example with Vitual Box and play it that way but it would probably run like dookie if at all.

First install wine and cabextract.

Copy all your windows System32 files over to this location on linux:

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Then you can run UT3 in wine on Linux. The performance will be limited to the same performance you get in Windows. A Linux native UT3 client will be almost twice as fast. So really, you might have to wait before you can get the Linux gaming performance boost.

Here's some reading material about UT3 Linux client.

Likely slower even depending on the RAM allocated.
