I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed again to give SimCity 4 another go. All updates installed, repository Wine installed, unofficial nVidia 180.11 driver installed (because 180.22 killed X so bad I couldn’t even get a tty login. Go figure.) I even got the monitor working pretty quickly. I hacked some stuff that “should” make SC4 run faster.

SimCity 4 still doesn’t run as fast as in Windows. It’s almost passable, but not quite. I’ll keep playing for a week and see what happens.

Oh, and Inanis Glass 1.3 is almost complete. Bugs fixed, features added and translate-ability coming soon. I may even be able to throw in some of the translations for free, with the help of those who volunteered their translation skills, of course.

Oh, and finally – Looks like the Inanis.net server has stabilized. The probable culprit: no swap partition. If it goes down again after this, I swear I am going to blow a gasket.
