Hi, i am wondering if you are thinking about making linux client. It would be nice, because wine for me is not working well (probably for rest of linux users too), and using virtual machine is quite hard

How about trying Wine?

I can tell you from my personal experience. If you want to use wine to run DS on linux ur probably a masochist. it crashes almost every 2-3 minutes sometimes has even issues loading the game. Id rather not recommend it unless there will be a client specialy for linux made.

Like i said before, wine is not good for DS, so i am asking if there will be linux client.

Hello,

 

sadly it's not possible to port the Dragon Saga Client to Linux (or MacOS) easily because of different reasons:

 

- the used game engine does not support OpenGL rendering - only DirectX which is Windows OS specific

- the game client uses a lot of Windows OS specific APIs 

 

The game is created at a time when Linux and portability for games wasn't important so no one thought about these things and therefore many of the code is purely Windows specific.
