I just switched over to Ubuntu from Mint, and I've finally installed Wine successfully. However, even after checking the Wine Wiki, I can't figure out how to install/run Windows programs. (The one I'm trying to do right now is Spore.) I've been fiddling around with winecfg for a while and I haven't managed to do anything yet. Could someone please give me (or link me to) a clear

I noticed while backing up my MacBook's /Users after I bricked it is this: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/SPORE Creature Creator Preferences/wineserver-HOSTNAME.DNS.TLD-USERNAME then I noticed the SPORE Creature Creator also had dlls and other win32 stuff Am I crazy or SPORE Creature Creator for Mac is just normal Spore Creature Creator with Transgaming? PS. the bricking of my MacBook

I'm running linux mint 9 and the latest version of wine. Whenever I try to run spore, it says "Starting Spore tm" and then after a minute it goes away and nothing happens. I'm new to linux and I don't know how to program things like in the terminal

Alright.. so.. it seems the newly released game, spore, almost works with wine.. with a few exceptions.. there is some graphical errors that apparently seems to be able to be fixed. I found a place on the internet where a guy have posted a blog entry on how to make it working... except.. I cant seem to figure out how to follow that guide. See it here: http://ericbetts.org/node/91 Can anyone

Hi, While running Spore (steam version) on 1.1.42 with a GeForce 8600GT on Arch Linux x86-64, everything worked fine except for occasional DxDllReg.exe crashes. I have since replaced the card with an ATi Radeon HD4800 and the user interface now unbearably flickers, garbles (inflated bits of text and other UI elements appearing randomly) and generally looks far from correct (to the point where I

I am new to WINE, and Unix-based systems in General. I have up until recently been using Windows XP Home, but after installing Spore, SecuROM was also installed onto Ring 0 of the Kernel and has pretty much fried my computer. Apparently, because of where it installed itself, it interfered with other programs and now I can't get anything to work right. So I switched to Ubuntu 8.10 for 64-bit

Hi. I'm using Fedora 9 (x86_64) and Wine 1.1.5. I updated my kernel today (my kernel version is 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64), and since then Spore stopped working (crashing at startup). I found a log file in Spore's folder, and uploaded it to my server.

So here is my concern. If I install a windows program that happens to include SecuROM, where will SecuROM go? Will I get the same kind of system instability in Ubuntu as I did in windows? I read the FAQ, and the list of WINE Apps, but I couldn't find any information about it beyond that it appears to run Spore and SecuROM. After my last experience with SecuROM on windows (and current lawsuit

What on earth has happened to spore. It used to work fine with wine 1.1.12, no real problems. Picked it up today to have a game and nothing, it tries to load and don't even get to the front screen. I have wine 1.1.16 and have downgraded to 1.1.13 with no joy. I have Nvidia graphics driver 177, downgraded to 173 and no joy. That is a shame, I did enjoy that game and now it's not working.

I am trying to get Spore to work under WINE. I have installed the game plus the Galactic Adventures expansion without any problems, but when I try to run it I get a black screen and an error box stating "The program SporeApp.exe has encountered a serious problem and need to exit" Below is the output from the terminal. Any ideas on what might be causing this. I have update the graphics

I upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, and Wine 1.1.8 some time last week, and then reinstalled Spore to give it some play. It worked fine for a couple of days, but now I'm in the space stage and the game is incredibly sluggish. This wasn't happening beforehand, it was running fast and marvellously smooth until I tried to stop a war on my home planet. This appears to be a recurring theme,

Another fortnight, another Winetricks. This release fixes a handful of bugs, and adds a handful of games (or, really, ports them from wisotool). It also brings back the old verb dotnet20sp2, since that seems to work with wine-1.3.18 (please let me know if it's useful). It also adds a rudimentary gui to prompt for Steam username and password, cleans up the --help message, and improves mac and

Sorry to necro, but I've switched to Gentoo and the same (or a similar) thing happens on wine 1.2, upon trying to launch from Steam: err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr (nil) Also not sure what to attach as far as log files etc. as I know this line alone is pretty much worthless for anyone trying to help. I might try filing a regression later.

It installed and complained about DirectX after install. When started, it didn't seem to get beyond the second screen. It shows a galaxy turning in the background and a

hi guys :) I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch). My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my GC isn't supported by the game. Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the game? greets from germany Hauke

I trying to play my games Oblivion and Spore. I almost got oblivion to work but when I click create new game it freezes and forces me to quit it, not to mention it's really slow and skips. It's not my computer because it exceeds the requirements by far. And then spore won't even start.

Hello, I've just installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Deluxe (I think it's called 'Platinum' in the US, the version with both addons) on my Kubuntu 8.04 partition with Wine 0.9.59. The installation works fine, but when I try to start the game, the following error message appears: "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See www.securom.com/copy for more
