OK, but why?Why the native java is better, than the WINE?
Wine has some visual issues with the zatikon interface, maybe not with your setup, but with mine. It's not about which java vm is better.

What's wrong with WINE? It runs flawlessly under WINE
Because I'd rather run it with the native java vm.

Any news on whether the performance issues are going to be fixed?

I was thinking there might be some code that is optimized for windows, even though Java is OS agnostic, I think there are ways to optimize the code for a specific OS. I don't use Java really, so I may be wrong. Just something to keep in mind I guess.

Please try downloading and installing Java from Sun Microsystems:

Never used any of the Blitz products, but is their any compatibility between Blitz3d and Blitzmax?

I am not able to reproduce the issue here.
What linux distribution and java version are you running?

Would definitely be cool to have a port of this game to Linux, but for the people that want to play it, it seems to run fine in wine. There are some issues with the resolution changing but that's solved by running it using the virtual desktop feature in wine.
Definitely a fun game, any news on whether this game will be ported or not?

Zatikon Support / HOWTO run in Linux

I should have noted, if you just run the patcher.jar, it will create a directory in your home directory named 'zatikon' from there you can run the 'zatikon.jar' or the patcher included. If you move the directory to somewhere else, and run the patcher in the directory it will create another zatikon directory in your home directory, so if you move it somewhere else, use 'zatikon.jar' so it doesn't keep creating zatikon directories in your home directory.

it seems that, the launcher.jar just isn't there.
You can run it with the patcher.jar, even renaming it to proto.jar is unnecessary. Just download the patcher.jar and type 'java -jar patcher.jar' or if you want you can rename it to proto.jar. Not sure what purpose of the launcher is if it can run from the patcher.
Anyway, no matter how I choose to run it, via webstart, unpacking the windows version, and even following the way it's described in this topic, the performance is pretty slow in Linux. I'd say it was an issue with the machine if it didn't run so well in XP and in wine on the same machine. I even tried different versions of the jvm, still performs slow. So what I've been doing is just running it in wine so I don't have to reboot just to play it.

Zatikon Support / Game performance is slow in Linux
November 29, 2008, 01:35:26 AM
The game runs a lot slower in Linux then in windows. For example when I select a unit, it takes the game a little while before it responds with the actions I've made. I've tested it in windows xp on the same machine and it is nice and snappy, everything works fine, I have also tested it in wine and it works just as fast as windows xp. So I'm thinking it's a platform issue.
Other stuff I've done is unpack the windows version and run it with the command 'java -jar proto.jar' and it performs just as slow as running the web start version.
