RE: How to run Freelancer on Linux using Virtualbox - Corile - 09-17-2016
My original comment was targeted specifically at VirtualBox which is aboslute trash when it comes to any games with 3D it's just trash.
Vmware software is actually pretty okay for it. I would use VFIO like a normal human being but unfortunately my cpu doesn't support vt-d so I gotta stick with Vmware. And I think actually that Vmware supports vt-d virtualization but I haven't checked or really cared about it.

I have to say I still do not understand why someone (except for multiboxing) runs a game on a workstation in a VM.
Regarding virtualbox and FL:
I do know FL has caused timing cheat errors in the past and I would like to know if this still persists and if FLserver is effected, too.

Some people managed to get it running through Wine, others through VM. I personally prefer to VM instead of dualboot because rebooting to windows is slow af.
