Some thoughts on this:
- have someone EVER contacted evenbalance and asked them to add a "wine check"
and if it detects a wine environment executes different checks? And if yes, what was their answer?
Why don't you ask them and see?
- would it be possible to execute the linux version of punkbuster and "route"
the checks to the linux version? (the wine devs have done something similiar with the gecko engine...I mean, the default steam client uses the engine of the internet explorer, but in wine it uses gecko, so (for me) it seems possible to get the applications to use something complete different instead of that what they want
And what do we do for BSD/Solaris users?
- the checkIDs that have to be returnt are known to everyone that knows how to
sniff a network, aren't they? So, it would be possible to hardcode these IDs and return them when PB asks for them. It isn't illegal (I think), it's just a workaround...
May break other applications.
- oh and last idea: if we get the "real" windows files into one directory,
wouldn't it be possible to get the routines of PB to check those files instead of the wine files?
Not sure what you mean here. Regardless, bugzilla is for discussing bugs only, not user support. Use the forums/AppDB for that.
