--- Comment #72 from Jeff Cook cookiecaper@gmail.com 2010-07-20 16:19:34 --- I just played for about 30 minutes with the attached PTRACE_PEEKDATA patch against 1.2 (NOT git) and didn't experience any problems. This playtime is not very long, but that is a pretty good result so far I think. I am not using the Steam beta (and my Settings page now says "None currently available...").
I will try to get wine built with this patch on the computer of someone whom I know will have a lot more playtime and get his report soon. Will report back once I have done that.
