As we enter the final stretch of Cedega 6.1 development, we are wrapping up work on major features and new game support and have turned our attention towards the final series of regressions. We are currently focusing on some graphical enhancements in Neverwinter Nights 2 for lower end video cards, and addressing installer and instability issues in Civilization IV – Beyond the Sword. Check out The Den below for more details on these issues and other improvements plus some new workarounds and tips.

The Den – Cedega Update

So far in Cedega 6.1 we have added support for some of the hottest windows titles out there; Neverwinter Nights 2, Call of Duty 4, Spore Creature Creator, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Team Fortress 2, Portal and even gotten Shader Model 3.0 and HDR support working in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Some of these titles do still have a few issues but are in the most part playable out of the box. Most notably Neverwinter Nights 2 has some graphical corruption on all cards and some significant graphical corruption on NVIDIA 6XXX and 7XXX series of cards. We don’t have a fix for this issue yet but as soon as we do we will make a new beta release available or post a work around in the forums.

Some games we thought we had working but still have some items that keep them from earning the supported rating. For example Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword and Sins of a Solar Empire. However, we do have work arounds for some of the key issues. One of the biggest problems getting Beyond the Sword working in Cedega is getting it installed in the first place. There is a work around that can get this going, all you need to do is . . .
