[SOLVED] Does anyone here have the Unity engine on Zorin?

And if your machine is 64 bit and say you got the Unity game engine to work on wine and it runs well, what did you do to get it to work? If no one did, I guess we're all on the same boat, because you can install it with wine, but it won't run. Does anyone have a solution? I heard that Wine 1.5 can work and changing it to 32 bit will make the Unity engine run, but I can't find it in the software center.

Hi,

the stable version of Wine 1.6 is available, have you tried that?:

http://www.winehq.org/

You may need to update the PPA first:

Welp. Updating the PPA didn't really work, so I just went ahead an removed Wine from the software center and installed 1.5 manually via terminal, which oddly enough installed 1.6

I hope the Unity engine will work with it just fine because that is the ONLY Windows program that will just not work on a 64 bit machine. I already cofigured Wine to 32 bit and I'm currently downloading the Unity.exe file.

If anyone would like to try Unity here is the link to it:

I'll let you know if it works or not Wolfman :)

I have blender on this comuputer. That's more of a modling tool than a game engine. But thanks for the suggestion. The Unity engine will come to Linux eventually. I just don't know when. Thanks for offering Blender btw. :)

That video worked Wolfman! I finally got Unity running! :D Only problem right now is that it's slow, even when Wine is on Windows XP, like test the game is slow and for some reason Mono develop can't open. I'll be able to figure out those issues on my own.

The main thing is, I got Unity up and running! Thank you so much!

Hi DO,

great news, for Mono I suggest you install the package "mono-complete" which installs all the packages for Mono, it might help!!, here is the terminal command to install it:

Code:
sudo apt-get install mono-complete


Good luck.

Have marked as solved!!.

Unfortunantly that didn't seem to have any effect with Unity, but I'm sure there will be a work around for it in the future. I also have a Windows Machine on the side so I'm not that concered in terms of writing code for any games I make.

Thanks for everything though! I appreciate it.
