To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I just wanted to tell you that Freelancer is again working with Wine!
Multiplayer also works after fixing the Direct play Bug, have a look at this link: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames
Tested it for some hours now on UnderVerse: quite fun, but lags evey ~5minutes for some seconds.
If you are wondering why Freelancer is still marked as Garbage in AppDB, I allready posted an Test there few minutes ago.
Have fun guys!

That's some good news. I wish all games could be played on Linux so I could drop MSoft forever. For some reason I thought this already ran on Wine but if not hey it's better than never.
Thanks Bas for the heads up and for all the hardcore Linux users got get Freelancer, even though its a few years old you will enjoy it.
