Hey guys, I'm a new Ubuntu convert (installed through Wubi, and am blown away!) I'd love to get wine working so I play games etc, but I've got a lot of learning to do when it comes to installing and getting things working. So, I want to use the 1.0-rc1 version of wine, but CoD4 requires the 3dmark.diff patch. This is what I think I need to be doing: with the 3dmark.diff file

Hi, I am apprehensive about buying the Windows 7 for my new desktop PC ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig_b41uOQCg ) and pay more than 100 euros for it. I don't have enough money before I get the student loans after New Year 2012, and I was wondering if I could get Linux somewhere today or before Christmas holidays. Before I decide, tell me, can I play any Win7 game I like on Linux, by

I have an Imac AMD Radeon Card and an NVidia Card. Games like Medal of Honor Allied Assault and code of Honor French Legion (just a 2 of the alot) has specific issues comparing with nvidia cards. in those games nvidia cards run smoothly but ATI cards/AMD Radeon do work, but "stotter" when walking and turning at the same time. Playing the games with Nvidia has not that issue. In other

Here is my setup: Wine version 1.0.1 Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex x64 I have tried installing Call of Duty 4, since my friend has a copy and the app db says it works.

I've been using Linux Ubuntu for a few days, but I already love it :) However, when I'm running windows games under wine, I get less than 10fps, while under windows they work really fast. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers from ubuntu repositories and Direct X 9c under wine (yes, dxdiag works, and it passes all the tests). I have also seen on youtube, that many people don't have

Hi, I want to run classic games like Age Of Empires through wine without a CD on my netbook. Is there any hope? Am I right in my researching, there is no tool like daemon on linux (mount such that games are happy)? Sorry for being stupid, thanks

Hello! I have installed Wine 0.9.55 (pretty sure of that) on my Mandriva 2008. I tried to install the game GUN from Neversoft. (It works fine on windows Vista). On the distribution it says that it is compatible on Windows 2000 and XP. But when I try to install it it seems to work, but when I try to run it I get an error in a popup. Right now I'm at office and do not exactly remember the

Ever since the RCs and the release of 1.2, I have been having trouble with directx based games not working properly. They did work under wine-1.1.3x. The problems are: video very slow and jerky, about 1 fps, objects appearing as "tears" on the screen, missing some textures, and screen going blank during certain effects. System: 64-bit kubuntu-10.04, dual NVIDIA 9800GT w/ 512 mb, plenty

Hi all, installed the old space shooter Swarm and it is running fine pleased to say except artefacts of lasers and rockets that have been fired staying on screen for up to another 6 seconds. This is as you can imagine a bit irritating as they move with and stay on the screen. Wine x.19. Have set the game to 'unmanaged' by the window manager as was suggested here in another thread, but

I used to play GTA3 with only a few minor niggles a while back and thought I'd give it a try with the most recent version of wine. I decided to do a full test, from installing to actually playing the game. The installation went perfectly but when ever I start wine now I get this error: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000004 at address 0x5ac67b (thread 0009), starting

Hello! I was running Mandriva 3 weeks ago and I had installed Call of Duty 4, and it worked (with version 1.1.6) When Ubuntu Intrepid RC was out, I decided to install it over my Mandriva, and I also installed wine version 1.1.6, but it didn't work as on Mandriva!

Hi all, I've checked the archives and can't find anything regarding the above so here goes: Has anyone had any luck getting GTA2 or other games that require DirectX 6.1 support working under Wine so far?

Hello, I've tried a few Steam games, and played them for a bit, but I have a few problems: 1) Because I run dual monitors, normal full screen games will not work. Furthermore, full screen games with a virtual desktop go in a 800x600 window and will not resize, so I have to play the games in a window in a virtual desktop.
