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.

I have a Dell Latitude D600 with Windows XPsp2 on the first partition and Ubuntu Feisty (Linux kernel 2.6.20) with Wine 0.9.30 on the second partition, set up to dual-boot. The XP share is NTFS and mounted read-only for Linux. What I want to do is run my Windows apps from the XP partition under Wine, because I really hate using Windows. A lot of the apps seem to ask for DLLs they can't find.

Hello, I am trying to run Windows Media Player 11 on WINE and I cant. This is the only software that I need to be windows free since my university posts the lecture videos in WMP 11 DRM format and I cant view them if I dont have WMP11 installed. It asks for windows genuine verification. Anybody can help? I have wine 1.1.12. Thanks in advance.

Some time ago i already tried to get running a Digital Oszilloscope DSO-2100 at the parallel port LPT1. But i give up to get it running. Now i have another problem (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=38741#38741) and so i have tested this again. This time i added the keys to the registry for direct parport access: Code: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\VDM]

I'm a new user of Ubuntu 9.04 and have installed Wine 1.1.28. Have not been able to get Trackmania Nations Forever 2.11.11 to start despite the AppDB indicating it should be fine.

Hello all, I'm running latest GIT here and I tried to play SoF3 (Soldier Of Fortune 3: Payback) but the main menu, some intro video (not the company logos) and weapon selection are all white. Additionally wine is putting out a lot of these messages: ----------------------- fixme:d3dx:D3DXGetImageInfoFromFileInMemory Invalid or unsupported image file ----------------------- I'm also

Is there a terminal command that can be used in a Bash script that will reset the loading of all DLLs to "builtin, then native" and vice-versa? I've looked at WINEDLLOVERRIDES but the instructions for it do not explain whether wildcards or some "all" like command can be used.

What does thoes this means??? warn:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"C:\\windows\\system32\\msvfw32.dll": /home/xekhz/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/msv fw32.dll: invalid ELF header

I've been trying to get a game running that is sooo close, but just not there, and I see from the Office 2007 thread that other people are pretty much shooting in the dark about which dll overrides are useful for different things too. I was wondering if we could gather the different overrides that work for different apps and put them in one place, maybe make it sticky? Maybe we need one

How can I detect WINE from my program, or detect Linux, in other wors how can I detect that OS is not Windows. BOOL WINAPI GetVersionEx(LPOSVERSIONINFO lpVersionInfo) returns that OS is Vista :D [Question]

I am checking an old bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9637 which happens to affect several games. Before arriving to the bug in question, one has to workaround another bug relate to shdocvw.dll. It is recommended to override a set of libraries which I believe should be put in system32. However, at least some of the dlls are already there. Are these the wine builtins or rather proxies as

Hello, I'm trying to play a game (Star Wars: Rebellion) and it mostly works except for the tactical battle mode. There have been workarounds suggested on the appdb page (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=181&iTestingId=33818), which include getting a native d3drm.dll, which I did. This and one other native DLL (d3dxof.dll) reduced the number of errors and

Hello. I'm trying to run Age of Kings multiplayer that seems to run fine for several other users. I followed the instruction that says: To get multiplayer working for such games (at least those that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8), place the DLLs in this archive in Wine's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) for: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx.

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16664 As much as I am leaping for joy at the thought that i'll be able to play the Sims 3 without switching to Mac OS X or Windows, I have a question: 1. How would they know if the game works or not if it doesn't come out till July??? Also, I find it a bit of an oddity that The Sims 3 will work under Wine straight away when

First: what is possible search path for builtin libraries (.dll.so) besides system-wide ?/usr/lib/wine?? Adding it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't help? (I'm using debian version from winehq repository right now) Second: Is it possible to use wrapper of ?d3d8?? (morrowind graphics enhancer's). E.g. use native d3d8.dll which would wrap around builtin d3d8 of wine?
