Anyone know a good solution for Ubuntu so that I can play things requiring Unity Web Player?

Linux, Ubuntu, And Unity Web Player

As far as I'm aware there's not really any good way to go about it.
There are a few workarounds you could try, such as running a Windows version of a browser through WINE and running the Windows version of Unity Web Player in that but I can't imagine that'll work too well performance-wise unless you have just amazing hardware specs.
I think there's a few other workarounds as well too so maybe someone else can answer better.
I just don't play the Unity games.
I remember someone posted about this https://launchpad.net/pipelight which I haven't used. But yeah apparently it goes through WINE as well.
i was unable to find any solutions that were worthwhile to me in a linux OS.
i have a dual bootable computer now....
windows 7 /fedora 17 ( i like fedora 17 even though its a little outdated.)

That's irrelevant.

not really
unity web player and linux don't mix really. partition part of your hard drive and get windows 7 or some shit. my only suggestion. Wine won't get you anywhere with Unity.
If you have an ssd hard-drive then Windows 7 will actually work the way it was intended to work which is fast and reliable. If you don't then even with a powerful gaming rig on a normal hard-drive Windows 7 will lag at times making you believe it's a virus but really it's cuz Windows is a demanding operating system and is too powerful for normal hard-drives.

What does this have to do with getting Unity Web Player to work in the Ubuntu operating system?!

My grandma could have thought of that. If I could get Windows 7 I would.
There's no known popular work around for it aside from using pipelight
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pipelight <=seen here
which allows windows only browser plugins to be installed in linux browsers
I know a few people whove got it working supposedly, so there's that.
edit: found this
http://pipelight.net/cms/plugin-unity-webplayer.html
let us know if you get it working, OP
"who are you to decide what is right and wrong? where do you draw that line?"
i have also an Ubuntu 14.10 64bit system.
i install pipelight-multi and enable unity3d
and these http://www.kongregate.com/games/flippfly/race-the-sun works fine for me
but http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/647939 says me that Unity Web Player required is, but i have the Unity Web Player already installed
Newgrounds does not seem to recognize that the Unity Player is installed
I hope there is a solution for it
