EAW 1.28e accepted for Silver rating - Wine 1.6.2
That means it works, but multiplayer is not yet tested really or it would be Gold.
Platinum is the highest and means everything works out of the box 100 %
To get that you have to have no errors and no configuration changes so the extracted string files (see my page about errors) would need to be included. Also it has to be a complete download to qualify.

European Air WarASAP I will get to later versions like 1.29 1.30
later 160 maybe.
Test rigs; ----------
I'm shuffling around pc parts and linux versions for some other tests, so again a delay before I do much other.
Wine 2.1 is now out and available via ubuntu wine staging
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Installation I did try Wine 2.1 on my old test machine. Not yet on my laptop maybe tomorrow I can get a quick test.
It worked poorly (2-10fps) on my old p4 1.7 single core + 1GB RAM + radeon hd2400 - which now I have Mint Mate 18.1 Serena on - with a d3d err and clogged framerate.
Maybe my driver or need extra settings on the Wine interface. Wine 2.1 has some test settings I have not tried yet. And not debugged output yet.
Also overhead is a bit pushed on the 1 GB Ram
Thats with the Ubuntu/Mint stock X.org 1.18.1 driver and GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
Its not an AMD supplied driver, etc.
I may swap cards to nVidia as my old FX5700VE is supported by the nVidia driver made by nVidia and I'd like to try that. Also I like to get my horizon fog back on! It actually gets horizon fog on XP with that card, same pc.

My Toshiba Laptop has np so it should work fine on it. I would just like to get a network test with the other setup and see if mulitplayer tcp/ip works. I'm sure it does if I install DX into Wine o other tweaks I see no issue as EAW era DirectPlay is fairly standard old POC that works mostly anyway.
As to testing Glide I think it would require the wrapper. Have to check if the nVidia card I think supported glide well
I move slowly toward the goal.
