Here's a brief step-by-step.
1) Download and install Cedega (http://www.transgaming.com). I installed the latest version.
2) Download the Steam installer (http://www.steampowered.com)
3) Start up cedega and use point-n-play to run the steam installer.
4) Once steam is installed and updated, exit steam.
5) From a commandline, run the following:
This command assumes you let cedega do it's thing and DID NOT mess with it's installation so that there is a .cedega directory in your home directory. If you cannot locate the .cedega directory try checking for .transgaming.
6) Purchase, download and run Ostfront.
It should work just fine. You will most likely have fairly low FPS using the default DirectX renderer. I find it's easiest to make changes by hand-editing the RedOrchestra.ini file in ~/.cedega/Steam/c_drive/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/red orchestra/System directory. You don't have to stop/start Steam for these changes to take effect, just stop/start Red Orchestra. I get a constant 30-40 FPS on a 32-player server using the OpenGL renderer. Of course using OpenGL means that you have the normal screwy looking menus, no motion blur and no HDR, but I haven't found that to be a problem yet.
Please respond with various setting tweaks that you've tried and the results.
A couple changes to make in your RedOrchestra.ini file
1) Uncomment "RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice" and comment out "RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice"
2) In the section [WinDrv.WindowsClient]:
StartupFullscreen=False
3) In the section [WinDrv.WindowsClient]:
WindowedViewportX=1280
WindowedViewportY=1024
Set these to something less than your current resolution (mine is 1600x1200, hence 1280x1024).
4) In the section [Engine.Engine] make sure that "DetectedVideoMemory=" matches the RAM size of your video card.
Thx for the sticky!
