--- Comment #26 from aphidia@hotmail.com 2010-10-07 14:50:17 CDT --- I mentioned this ticket politely as a suggestion on the WINE mailing list since the new release was asking for non-working programs to be tested, and the devs reacted very silly telling me that they only fix bugs that interest them as it's a volunteer project. Great attitude guys.
Unfortunately I'm not a WINE dev myself, but I'm sure that the fix is most likely a simple easy one for a WINE dev. I made a replacement HUD for Linux http://sourceforge.net/projects/pt3hud4lin/ but it's not very good. If someone knows how to make X overlays then please email me genjix (mangled to stop SP4M) riseup net. I know how to get stats from the SQL database. Still better would be to actually get PT3 working under WINE since it's impossible to have current table stats for yourself as PT3 stores the value internally, not in the database.
Three solutions: - Petition PT3 to make a Linux release (they publicly said they will not) - Write native Linux HUD to go with the PT3 database. (doesn't have current session stats for yourself) - WINE devs write a simple fix as detailed earlier in this bug report (reply: fix it yourself)
Come on WINE, this is a much used software and would be a boon for Linux. Many poker pros boot into Virtualbox or Windows and play all day long. Help them out.
