similar to: does wine work well with old fullscreen games on native windows xp?

Longtime lurker and user of wine, but I'm about to replace my old nvidia card with a newer model and seeing as Ati is open sourcing their drivers. I was wondering if I should get a 4800 card, but only if the fglrx or x86-radeon driver is up to the task :) Like can it run direct3d 9 games like Eve? How about 2d performance in games like fallout 2 and planescape torment?

Has anyone managed to get Planescape Torment in Wine yet? I've tried it in wine 1.1.36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. None work. My system just freezes and I can't manage to alt-tab to my terminal either. The forums (and the appdb) seem to indicate that this game is pretty tough to get up and running. I've tried both the fullscreen=0 (windowed) options and fullscreen=1 options. Also tried with

Hello, I've been having some problems with Planescape and I can't seem to be able to solve them (I'm neither a Linux nor a Wine wiz, if you know what I mean). Before I state my problem, I have to say I have used 3 Wine releases, the 03/2005 one, that couldn't even start Planescape (I got it as a binary .deb file), the 05/2005 one (Compiled from source), and the current one

Hello. I'm having a bit of trouble running some old games, like Planescape Torment (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22660&iTestingId=61130) (the GOG.com version). When I try to start the game, it complains about the desktop bit depth (I have 24 as default, and it requires 16-bit). The game suggests I should either run it in fullscreen (which I am), or to

Hey, all, Running Wine 20050111 under SuSE 9.2 (SuSE 9.2 package from sourceforge.net). Wine was working fine until about an hour ago; I had several programs installed and working and did not have this error (afaik). Then I decided to install Septerra Core ( http://www.lith.com/sites/septerra/ , don't download the demo, though; it is of no use in debugging, because the demo install does

I'm maintaining the GTA3 and Planescape: Torment entries in the AppDB. I just tried to edit the howtos I added a while back but I'm being told I don't have 'sufficient permissions' to do that. I am logged in by the way. Grahame

Software as Application, can always find a replacement. (Well most of the time) But Software as Games, there is good chance that you will never find a replacement. They are their own unique Art. (Classical games is another story, such as chess, and those "public domain") In order words, doesn't matter how old a game might be. it will not get obsolesce. When it come to

Hi, I'm having some issues with multiple games running under Wine, namely the GoG versions of Age of Wonder and Baldur's Gate. Both of these are listed on WineHQ as compatible, but I'm not having the same luck. If Compiz is running when I start the game, I get a black screen, but the game itself is obviously working, as the game music is playing and I can hear menu buttons pressed

Hello, To get straight into the subject at hand, it seems that the two latest wine versions (.16, .17) have broken some of my applications (Planescape and Carmageddon, in particular). These applications used to work perfectly in .15, so I'm led to think that the problems are due to the extensive changes done in the Direct3D area.The output seems to confirm these thoughts. Now, I'm not

Hey guys, I wrote to this list previously, saying I needed a perl module to do Ogg Vorbis tag reading / writing. People pretty much pointed me to the Ogg::Vorbis module that wrapped around libvorbisfile and I should extend that to writing streams, not only reading them. Well, awright, I thought, let's do it. Problem is, though: The download links on freshmeat are all broken and I don't

I have a probe: pid111::myfunc:entry { self->arg = arg0; } pid111::myfunc:return /self->arg/ { @[self->arg] = quantize(); } works great, but i''d like arg0 to be printed in hex. I''ve tried numerous approaches to do this but i''ve hit a wall every time. I''ve tried: 1) self->arg = sprintf(arg0); no, cuz dtrace has no sprintf 2) self->arg

Hi to all LLVMers! I'm new to LLVM and compilers at all (i did wrote few interpretators, but thats not same as compiler), and i want to write compiler (which compiles source to native code executebles - no VMs or runtime files) for some language (i'll call it a language "X", as it don't have name yet, cuz i'm desinging it - a hobby project of mine) and i want to write

Hello, James Molly. Thank you for your advices. Now I aware that this is the problem of stdint.h. And, codesourcery toolchain also has stdint.h header file at same place of stdio.h Generally, Clang has "lib/clang/3.0/include" default search path. If I added codesourcery toolchain path for stdio.h with -I option, stdint.h has been loaded at the specified toolchain path first cuz

I had successfully installed BrilliantPhoto with wine, so that I have the directory: file:/home/dotancohen/.wine/c/Program Files/Brilliant Labs/BrilliantPhoto but when I run the command wine /home/dotancohen/.wine/c/Program\ Files/Brilliant\ Labs/BrilliantPhoto/BrilliantPhoto.exe it justs sits there with no output until I ctrl-Z it. Silly me, I even tried to click the icon in Konqueror to start

Generally I use Wine to play games. But some of them can freeze my pc during closing game, so I can only reboot my PC. I dlike to ask how to disable full screen mode in games?

Hello, i have this problem since i updated wine to 1.3.25. When i run a fullscreen game like Left 4 Dead 2, the mouse of Ubuntu dont hide and moves around the screen. Any solution? This only happens in wine 1.3.25.

It's often handy to be able to see the current frames per second when testing a game under wine as it allows you to pinpoint where frame rate problems occur and how serious they are. It's easy to get the framerate from wine by setting WINEDEBUG=fps. However, it's not easy to track framerate changes as you play when the game runs fullscreen. Fraps[1] is a good solution to this problem

I've had CS:S installed before and there wasn't a problem. Basically I want to be able to alt+cursor left and right out of Counter Strike: Source to my other workspaces in Ubuntu 9.10, and when I alt+cursor back to the workspace running CS:S let it still in full screen mode. At the moment the game follows me to the new workspace minimized, and I have to manually click on it in my lower
