I was searching some files on Linux for something, and instead of clicking what I meant to click, I clicked the FPS creator EXE (It was a search result)... Some unusual grey box with a blue loading bar sat there and loaded for like 10 seconds, and FPS creator started normally... On Linux.

The system requirements say nothing about Linux, but is FPS Creator meant to work on Linux anyway, or did my Kubuntu just spill wine all over the program?

No, FPSC was made in DBPro which is a windows only application as far as I know so it is not supposed to work on linux or mac.

Tht is the power of wine,crossover office, cedega, ect. If you distro is setup to auto-matically run the program in wine then tht would explain it. (other than emulation there is no other way on a linux platform)

Seems odd to me but that must be the power of WINE.
Go Linux!

Uhhhhhh.....I forgot

I've experienced this also. Eventually you run into problems because of video drivers.

Nothing so far, apparently it likes my Radeon.

I know some older versions of Geforce and Quadro users are having a bit of trouble on Ubuntu getting Oblivion working, but they really shouldn't be trying to play Oblivion on older cards.

I tried DBPro, and it doesn't do anything. I have an older version, though.

I guess for DBPro I will continue having to use the virtualizing tools.

I have heard of a program which can run direct x apps on linux. But you have to pay £3 or £4 a month so I believe you would know you had it on your system. But odd that an exe runs at all by clicking it in Linux. I have only played witha a couple of distros myself though and am no expert, cool if you did get your game up on linux though
