I actually tried a quick game with Starcraft 2 recently which I've owned for years, and was really quite surprised at how well the WIne project works. It's quite astonishing really.
I know some people see Wine as the devil, I did as well, but hey thoughts change. I think it's a really useful project for playing game I really want to play, but otherwise couldn't.

Is there an option in wine to see the framerate?No easy way to see the current FPS on the screen, but you can see the average of the last few seconds in the terminal using the 'fps' WINEDEBUG option. For example, I use this in my zprofile (no debug info except FPS):
export WINEDEBUG=-all,+fps… or you can just do it for a single command:
WINEDEBUG=+fps wine /path/to/file.exeLast edited by GermainZ on 6 September 2015 at 7:41 pm UTC

Add
2>&1 | tee /dev/stderr | sed -u -n -e '/trace/ s/.*approx //p' | osd_cat --lines=1 --font="lucidasans-bold-24" --color=yellow to the command and you'll get the fps on screen:
