Cedega 4.0 Features
* TransGamers can now enjoy playing Battlefield Vietnam,
City of Heroes, Star Wars Galaxies and Hitman: Contracts.
* First release with DirectX 9 support focusing on Direct3D 9.
Additionally, Pixel Shaders are now supported in Direct3D 9
and Direct3D 8 on graphic cards that support the OpenGL
ARB_fragment_program extension.
* A brand new ALSA backend is available which offers reduced
latency and lower CPU requirements.
* Many improvements to installers. MSI installers should now
be more reliable, more InstallShield installers will work,
and Nullsoft installers are now supported. Additionally, we
have a solution for CD switching for previously problematic
multi-CD installers. This solution will also allow you to
push the eject button on your drive and Cedega will automatically
unmount the drive for you, even if the installer has kept
files open on the CD.
* Much improved mouse support which should, among other things,
resolve the "warping" issues that some games demonstrated.
* The previously slow path for client to server communication
has been redesigned for more speed. By improving on the
previous prototype design, we have been able to get a 5 fold
speed up on certain operations. We call this functionality
Accelerated Interprocess Communication and it allows some
games such as American McGee's Alice to achieve much higher
performance.
* TransGamers with an ATI card can now enjoy an experimental
graphical acceleration feature using the Vertex Buffer
Object extension.
* Many other enhancements and bug fixes.
