I was wondering if people have ideas as to what the best place is to find out what I need to run games using Wine (not terribly specific, I play a lot of old and new games and just want some kind of link that is helpful). If there are particular dlls/utilities that are required for a lot of games it would be nice to know about those.

Hi. I had a performance issue with wine and all games. It's wine 1.1.18 FC10 X86_64bits with a Quad Xeon @4ghz and a Geforce 8800GTS512. I had a good frame frame... CSS and TF2 @ 70-100 fps and guildwars around the same... But this is very unstable... And when i walk in the game i had some micro freezes... The game can't be fluid. Same in TF2 /CSS/ Guildwars. For guildwars i've

Hi, I'm new in this list. As the title explains, I would like know which game that work in wine, with intel graphics. I've experinced that games like Heroes of Might and Magic III won't work, but a game like Soldier of Fortune, which is a newer game, works. If you know of a game that works in wine, please try to list them here, with additional tweaks as to how you got it to work,

What is the current status of Steam games in Wine? Some people claim same or better performance than Windows and other say its much worse. At least with TF2, the game goes from great performance with decent settings in Windows, to barely playable with all settings on low in Wine. Can Steam games run well in Wine without having a machine so powerful it can overcome any software problems? Is there a

I've bought my 12 yr old son a used laptop (Dell Latitude D600) and convinced him to use a version of linux unstead of Windows. The laptop came with PCLinuxOS release 2007. He really wants to be able to run some of his games, so I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install Wine. The version available for PCLinuxOS was Wine 0.9.58. So far I've tried two games, and I've struck out

Hello everyone Wine is great. I've managed to (through PlayOnLinux) get Steam installed and I'm able to play a load of my games in the comfort of Ubuntu. Currently I have all my Half Life and Half Life 2 mods working for the most part. My issue is: Some games come with a browser or launcher that checks if the game is up to date. All of these launchers tend to contain some Java, Flash

Hello, I've been having problems trying to run Steam games. The Steam itself takes up a lot of resources even when idle, for some reason, but the games run rather smoothly - in menu that is. Most of the games I have on steam are multiplayer games, and as the topic title suggests, I can't ever get to play them due to problems on connection. When playing Men of War, the game freezes on

Hi, If I play a game in Wine - either Caesar III or Half Life come to mind right now - they seem to work better for me in a windowed setup where the game is not full screen and I can still see the rest of my Gnome desktop in the background. Caesar III plays well under Cedega or Wine, HL much better under Cedega, but the point being that I've tried both. The frustration I've had is

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? I used to keep a Win95 partition on my machine specifically for this game, but recently my second disk died and I need the space for my Linux installation. Any help appreciated.

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. This is relatively minor and I can live with it, but it anyone has a

Hello List, I am new to Linux, and new to Wine therefore. I was wondering if anyone could help me run the game Titanic an Adventure out of time, (a window's 95 and NT game) in wine. I've been to the wine site, and I am not sure what do even do first thing. Any help would be appreciated! Julie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Not sure anyone will have an answer to this... but might as well ask I'm working with a beta version of a game and under NDA (and its not in the appdb)... but IE is required for logging in and patching... I'm wondering if this is a known issue with other games... Have to use IE7 installed, as IE6 had rendering issues, that IE7 didn't, and the game directly calls IE version of Wine

When I try to play Pharaoh (and sometimes Caesar 3) my screen becomes black and the only thing to do is Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I think Wine is still running but the game has just stopped. Does Wine have some way of stopping the program it's running? Even when I don't have access to the Eterm window that I opened it in? Mikkel Mastrup

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
