Ya ya i know a little over the top.. I got the program to install and run surprisingly smooth actually, the only issue I have is when it comes time to install the games using the steam client.

Hello!

Hi all! I recently got an ATI Radeon HD 3850 card and now noticed that with the fglrx driver many games that look well in AppDB do not run properly on this hardware (Supreme Commander ingame: flickering static garbage, Prince of Persia SoT has several issues that completely garble ingame graphics). Older games (not using shaders among other things) seem to run fine - need to do more testing

Hey Ive followed the instructions in the AppDB on how to setup team fortress 2, and after i did the preformence in menus improved, how ever i cannot still join any games.

I started with gutsy, ATI 9600 with the fglrx drivers, direct rendering working as with the games i wanted (CNC3, Champ Man...) in 0.9.58 however on upgrading to .9.59 software installs and winecfg both display properly, However on running the games i get a fuzzy display a bit like a tv half tuned in to

I've installed wine 0.9.59 and Steam. I've copied the Tahoma.ttf font to windows/fonts directory and I still can't see the writing in Steam. What should I do?

Hi, I have installed and played WC3 on Linux quite a lot around 20031212 release. The game played almost perfectly and I was very happy about that. I have reinstalled it recently. I am currently running it under Wine 0.9 on FC4. I find the performance to be inferior to what it used to be. I am experiencing frequent short pauses ingame. It seems to be related to units and building selections,

I know you will probably think it is just like suicide, that you would prefer to have your balls hanging on the ceiling, with canales just around your neck, but I'm trying to play Civilization V on my laptop, with the aofrementioned Graphics card. As appdb says it works very well, "platinum really", I thought it should as well in my craptastic rig. But that's not the case, as

Hello together, Sorry for my bad English. I know UFO Aftershock runs on Linux, but you have no mouse Ingame. Is there a Fix or something else?? I have openSuse 11.0 and Wine 1.1.9.

Hello, in the AppDB i have seen, that FAKK2 is fully playable on wine. After installing the game i started it and it runs really nice but it has no sound at all. On the wine sound settings i have tested all sound settings and all give back a test sound but whatever i check - in the game there is no sound. I haven't seen any error messages in terminal. Maybe there is something in the ingame

Hi! I received Far Cry 2 to try it and i tested it under wine 1.1.7 The install works, but securom not (a bug has already been filled in), and the game starts with a crack! I had to add some dll's and disable dxgi, but that's not a huge problem. When launching single player, it works and i am ~ 8 seconds ingame, but then it shutds down... In my output i can see this 100 times:

Howdy, I would like to bring this topic up again. Gaming via tinc. We use tinc-1.0.16 on Linux, Win7 and WinXP so far. Setup was pretty straight forward. All the nodes have mode set to switch and subnet to 10.0.0.0/24. Ping works, smb shares work. Everything seems fine BUT connecting ingame only works with 1 out of 5 games. In some games, we see each other in the lobby. I conclude, that UDP

Huhu, I installed MS Freelancer via PlayOnLinux, but I have some graphics lags ingame/the game was redicoulus slow, I also wasn't really able to start a new game since the game hang up (kinda. It just didn't wanted to finish loading) One idea of me would be that it still runs in DX mode, how can I change it to OpenGL? On a side note, I have enough ressources to run the game at windows.

Hi, im a fan of this game for quite some time now besides the community its a really nice time killer. After reading the wine app db entry it should run well, but it doesnt. It almost immediately drops below 30fps if something happens. Yes it looks almost like the windows version, the ingame font looks different. But whats the point if you cant win any fight? Ive used the latest wine on

After 1 day of work i finally got NWN2 working. The game starts, and everything seems to work. (even the Securom copyright protection). But in the game I have a big problem: the FPS are around 0.5. :( I have tried some things, but I'm am not experienced enough with wine, to fix this issue. (Others have 30 FPS with similar hardware) The things I have done: Added the Direct3D Registry Keys

Hi everyone, when I try playing Atomic Bomberman with my gamepads, an ingame error message pops up saying: "clue:'graf_print: coords off screen, x=320,y=170,w=322,h=20' internal error" When there is no gamepad plugged in, I can play the game using my keyboard, it works perfectly. I don't know what's going on. I was able to play the game with multiple gamepads some

I had just installed Linux Mint katya on my Dell Dimension 5000 computer because Windows kept making it lag and so on. I installed Wine and Steam soon after installing it, but whenever I tried to launch Steam it always crashes and quits as soon as the welcome and update screens pop up. I've googled for solutions to this problem and they have come to nil.

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol.
