I have a quick question - I have been starting to test if bugs are still in the current git of wine. When trying to test a DirectX bug I came across this weird behavior and I am trying to figure out why/if there is a problem or I'm doing something wrong/different. Here's the scenario: 1. Make and install current git of wine (did with 1.1.23-xxx and 1.1.24 and currently trying with

I know that there is always the push for the latest and greatest games to be working under WINE, but it's always been a little irritating to me, that as the owner of systems that tend to not be up to par to playing the latest and greatest, that older DirectX 7 and below games really don't feel like they've been giving the TLC that they may deserve. I've been an ongoing quest for

OK, I finally figured out putting mfc42.dll into the system32 directory. I obtained the file at dll-files.com. However, I still get the same error message. Guys, you need to help me on this one.

So I downloaded Wine (prebuilt binary for Mac OS X) on my Windows desktop and moved it via flash drive to my Mac OS X laptop (Intel). I ran the Wine installer on the laptop and boom it was complete. Then I inserted the Mafia CD into the slot and tried running the setup.exe file. After getting an error message, I tried four more times and no success. I get the same error messages. Sorry for my

Hello. I have been pretty satisfied with wine since I have become aware of its existance and am having a pretty good time with it. There are, however, a couple issues I can't wrap my head around. First of all, I cannot run regedit as root, it says: Code: wine: /home/mokuren/.wine is not owned by you I don't know how the root is supposed to "not own" something. This isn't

Any speciel tips?

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, 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 been a user of Wine for quite some time, but have an issue that I cannot figure out. Hopefully it is somewhat simple. I'm trying to get some older kids games working (most of the games are dated around 2002 or so). I know they use some version of DirectX. They aren't even 3D, they are all 2D games. The issue is that some of them are really choppy, and the sound is

Hi there wine list this is not going to be a request for help as much as it's a request for how I can help the wine developers. I've got some time over the next couple of weeks and a stack of applications I want to see if I can get running under wine. I thought if I started testing a whole bunch of things I might be able to gather some useful test data for the wine developers as a way

Hello, I am currently attempting to run some windows games through wine, specifically Fable - The Lost Chapters and The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind and I am experiencing problems with my cursor drifting during game play. When I start the game (as soon as the menu screen) the mouse is initially stable, but after I move the mouse it will begin to drift vertically down at a constant speed

Hi I'm trying to play a game which is not in the AppDB (yet) but when i try to run it blinks and shuts off.

Hello everyone. Long time wine user, first time poster. I've been trying to get Thief 2 to work. It installed without a hitch, and by all accounts runs perfectly, but after about 3 or 4 minutes of game play, it freezes up on me and I have to kill the process. No amount of googling or studying the appdb entry has been able to help me. It would be much appreciated if someone could give me
