TransGaming Technologies heeft enkele dagen geleden alweer versie 4.3 van Cedega uitgebracht. Dit is eigen implementatie van Microsoft's Win32 Application Programming Interfaces (API) voor het Linux-platform, waarmee het mogelijk is om Windows-spellen op diverse Linux-distributies te spelen. In deze nieuwe versie worden nieuwe games ondersteund, zoals Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords en Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life. Daarnaast zijn uiteraard de nodige verbeteringen toegevoegd. De volledige release notes staan hieronder:
New Features
- TransGamers can now enjoy playing Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life.
- A preloader to resolve the usability issues caused by the presence of prelinking, exec-shield and the new VA layout in newer kernels and distros. These features no longer have to be disabled before running Cedega.
- Vertex and fragment program caches that reduce the number of times a shader has to be loaded. These provide significant speed boosts to shader intensive games such as Half-life 2 and World of Warcraft.
- Improved support for WGL Pbuffers and better tracking of pixel formats. These changes make World of Warcraft playable in OpenGL mode.
- Changes were made to the way fragment offsets are implemented. This provides for more correct pixel shader effects in games such as Half-life 2.
- A number of regressions affecting Battlefield 1942, Painkiller, EVE Online, Star Wars Galaxies, and Anarchy Online were resolved.
- A variety of correctness issues and potential crashes were also resolved. These included a fix for the sound looping in Civilization III, properly hiding the mouse cursor in World of Warcraft, resolving the wineserver crash affecting Half-life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source, fixing a potential crash in the ALSA sound driver, and a number of improvements to the StretchRect implementation.
- The Win32 Security Services DLL, secur32.dll, contributed by Juan Lang. This DLL is required for recent versions of Star Wars Galaxies to run.
