I am just wondering if anyone here has tried the game "Company of Heroes" on Wine? If so has it worked well/playable or dodgey?

Also how has Guild Wars on Wine come along? Any good or still dodgey?

Thanks.

I highly doubt that CoH will work, most new games don't. In any case, you can check out the workability status of software with WINE at www.winehq.org

Specs and other things you should know!
Wine version: 1.0-rc4
Linux dist: Ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24-18-generic
CPU: Intel E6550 @ 2,333 Ghz
GFX card: Geforce 8800 GTS
Sound card: Logitech Z10 builtin (ALSA was used)
Memory: 2 gb RAM

I haven't tried this yet; but, it looks like it will work (on ubuntu). As shown in the video and described on the page, there are some graphical compromises. I purchased an XPS720 to play COH with the settings cranked up so this may pull me back to a dual boot with windows XP. I would hate to do that; but, I would hate to run COH like this even more.
