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.
