Download Cedega 4.2

TransGaming Technologies released version 4.2 of Cedega the day before yesterday. This is Microsoft’s proprietary implementation of Win32 Application Programming Interfaces (API) for the Linux platform, which makes it possible to Windows games on various Linux distributions. In this new version, new games are supported, such as Half-Life 2 and World of Warcraft, and the necessary improvements have been added. The full release notes are below:

Cedega 4.2 supports Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and World of Warcraft. Included is support for non-power of two textures and a number of other graphical improvements. Also provided is a new package which integrates the Mozilla ActiveX Control with Cedega to provide in-game HTML rendering for titles such as Steam, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes and EverQuest.

• TransGamers can now enjoy playing Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source and World of Warcraft.
• A custom win32 version of Mozilla can be installed and shared between games to provide HTML rendering. This allows EULAs to be displayed for titles such as City of Heroes and Star Wars Galaxies, as well as HTML content to be visible for Steam, EverQuest and others.
• Non-power of two (NPOT) textures are now supported on NVIDIA FX, ATI Radeon 9500, and better graphics cards. This will allow full screen movies for games such as Far Cry and Hitman: Contracts.
• Improved VAR memory allocation algorithm.
• A number of graphical corruption issues have been resolved with the experimental VBO option. This will be of benefit to ATI users.
• Improvements have been made to help support DVD based copy protection.
• A number of potential crashes have been resolved and a number of graphics flaws have been eliminated.
• The IP Helper API DLL, iphlpapi.dll, contributed by Juan Lang, and a stub version of the RichEdit DLL, riched20.dll, have been included.
