Wine
,Added info on certain copy-protection schemes which may or will not be implemented on Wine, e.g. GameGuard
==Issues==
With some programs, official Windows DLL files are required. Most of these are available to download via the (usually) included script, [https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/ winetricks]. Compatibility lists for most programs can be found on the [https://appdb.winehq.org/ AppDB].
Games which use DirectX/Direct3D APIs later than 9.0 may not run at all on Wine, as support for DX10 and 11 are preliminary at best. Also, applications and games that use kernel-mode drivers e.g. for copy protection or anti-cheat middleware may and/or will not be supported on Wine due to the way they access low-level/ring 0 system functions, such as those Asian MMOs bundled with GameGuard.
