Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
What might be more likely is something similar to "Windows XP Mode" or it being supported in "compatibility mode." Though I think it'll just be dropped entirely. It's already officially not supported and there was a question of whether Windows 7 would support it and the official Visual Basic 6 is entirely devoted to migrating to VB.NET.

Regardless, if a non-VB6 version of GCA is completed one day, that day likely won't be any time soon. Mores the pity in that. Quote:
Native support for VB6 has been dropped from Win8, and I find it unlikely that they'll change their minds about that. That said, it should work in the WinXP compatibility VM just fine—that's not something that should be counted on long-term though, the WinXP VM I mean.

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
I mightily appreciate your thread, gca was giving me all sorts of problems and they are no more, mostly. For some reason the cursor is out of sync and I have no clue how to fix it. Example: I usually have to click the area around the buttons until eventually i find the right spot. Do any of you have any ideas on how to fix it?

For starters what distro of Linux are you using, what desktop environment and what version of Wine?

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
Right, my bad. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the standard environment, and Wine 1.3. It occurs to me that, perhaps, I should use the stable release, 1.2, instead of the beta.

Are you using Unity or Gnome 2.x?

Hmmmm. I'm using Unity right now. Thanks for looking into this, btw.

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
Let me try to set this up in a virtual machine and see what's happening. I'm running Windows 7 these days, but I maintain this out of the kindness of my little black heart. I won't rush into saying it, but it wouldn't surprise me if Unity is to blame. (Unity, Gnome 3.0, KDE 4.0 and the fact Microsoft got a clue is the reason I run Windows 7 these days.)

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
I also dual boot, but I'm using a different box till my refund at Newegg processes so I can get a machine that works right. Meanwhile, I'm running a game right now and don't have the option of running on 7. Under no circumstances should you buy ASUS's G53-SW: the power button is hosed. The first one didn't work, and the replacement had the same problem.
