Hi all!
Just tried to do a fresh install Starcraft 2, finding out how Starcraft 2 is doing with the FOSS Radeon Driver since some people report WOW being playable with it!
I used the Crosstie Installer from cxgames 10.1.1, and the installation failed complaining about missing MS Visual C++ !
After creating a bottle with MS Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 everything went fine.
So there must be something wrong with the Crosstie Profile...

FOR THOSE Who ARE INTERESTED...
in the result of my radeon experiment, I can report:
- The Installation worked flawless
- Game starts without any error
- Main Menu looks perfect
- Matches start without any error
- Maps are mainly blank, but I could command the WBFs to harvest minerals and I saw the Commandocenter
- performance at lowest graphic settings was smooth (45FPS)
Looks very very promising and it was much better as I expected!!!
Maybe with some tweaks you can get much better results and I am optimistic that on Linux Gaming we can say goodbye to fglrx soon!
