Two-three gotchas:

- GWX 1.03 has crashes when starting campaigns, for some weird reason. Some hours of painstaking testing later, I found that stock SH3 and GWX 1.02 both work just fine for me. (probably Wine's or my fault, not the fine GWX creators)
- You must have a very current Wine. 0.9.38 or latest from git.

Oberleutnant z. S. Waldemar Wolgast of the U-13 is currently pondering preparations for his seventh patrol, off Hartlepool, in March 1940. Wonderful game. My first serious stint of ship hunting since Silent Service II...
So you mean you can play GWX on Linux with the same frame rate, speed and graphics as in Windows? That's fantastic news. If that's the case I'm thinking really seriously to get rid of Mr Gates
