Hi all Having problems with dual core in wine. It seems that every application I use through wine only uses 1 core. Any thorghts on how I can implement the wine apps to use both cores?? Native Linix apps use both cores generally. The DXDiag in wine also shows the 2 cores Apps Im trying Red Alert 3 HL2 + DM X3 I know these use both cores in windows I do also use wow in wine but I know theres is a problem with dual on that. Wine version, 1.1.16 Ubuntu 8.10 AMD 6000+ x64 Any help would be great

System Monitor open, Look at the app, E.g HL2.exe, Uses only 50% never exceeds. Graphs show 1 core using 100% other using basically nothing. (Say basically cos theres usially about 1-5% for ubuntu system processes, advance desktop, etc) In windows, Task manager clearly shows the process evenly balanced on each core.

Only copy over native (Windows) dlls when you need to use native code. This is best done by using Dan Kegel's Winetricks. This script attempts to set the appropriate dlls to native, builtin so you don't have to. James McKenzie
