Posted by fluffymoof, February 16th, 2016 Because the OS uses different language structures (API) WINE simply redirects the graphic drivers and other functions.
WINE is a program overlay that makes Windows games and apps 'think' they are running in Windows. WINE is an acronym that means WINE Is NOT an Emulator. Cryptic won't ban you for this, they need your money, they want you to play this game. People on Mac OS X can also use this information to install and run Star Trek Online. If you own a tablet or phone they run Android OS which is another 'flavor' of Linux. Tech support won't help you diagnose issues. They won't be responsible for your choice of OS. The official response of the developers and company motto is going to say they don't support it.
