Re: Ubuntu 9.04 + Dominions
I think so, yes. I'm pretty sure I tested it the other day.

Re: Ubuntu 9.04 + Dominions
This game works great in Ubuntu 9.04. It even plays perfectly fine on a EEE 901 running 9.04  and earlier versions too actually. Between my two laptops, it works great with an Intel (even in 9.04 which apparently as Intel problems... none severe enough to stop Dom3 from playing perfectly) and with an nVidia. I havent tested it with an ATI but I imagine it would be ok.

Hmm, then I must have done something wrong.

Re: Ubuntu 9.04 + Dominions
Curious. Dom3 has always just worked out of the box for me. I didn't install anything to get it going -- except the video driver from System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. Are you getting an error? Can you post it?
Cheers,
SD

Re: Ubuntu 9.04 + Dominions
I would find it hard to hold Ubuntu responsible for any problems. Dominions 3 is actually developed on Ubuntu and then ported to Mac and Windows. Any problems is more likely to be graphics card and the drivers.
