> > Greetings! I was just banned from the #winehq channel on freenode for suggesting to a newbie that he use winetricks to install directx 9c. I was told that winetricks is for developers and that installing directx this way can damage your wine install. > I am currently using the latest developers version of wine with directx 9c installed and configured with the latest winetricks. I am playing the latest Civilization 4 expansion pack with no problems whatsoever on Ubuntu 8.10. > I resent getting banned for accurate information and think that channel bans should be reserved for obscene or abusive behavior only. > Thank you for tolerating this rant. > YeOldeFarte why was austin987 banned???? thanks ab
