Unity web player for Ubuntu?

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I like playing an online game that requires the Unity Web Player, but I’ve recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 and apparently it doesn’t work on Linux yet.
I read that there are ways to make it work with Wine and browser stuff native clients…
But I’m not a very experienced Linux user yet and I have no clue what this Wine is or how to use it.

Can someone help with this?

Thanks

Unity Technologies do not provide a Unity Web Player for Linux browsers. I also haven’t heard any plans on doing so.

Workaround:

Previously Linux users tried to install Windows versions of internet browsers to run the Unity Web Player using Wine.

The Pipelight project has made a plugin for native Linux browsers. It still uses Wine, but at least you won’t deal with Windows versions of internet browsers. See the community set up wiki page - http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Running_Unity_Web_Player_on_Linux_using_Pipelight
