I installed the game like it is described in the WineHQ application database. The installation worked without problems but running the game produced the following error message: Cannot create DirectSound object (-2147467259) I got around this by switching off OSS sound and using ALSA instead, but know I have the same problem that Erich Hoover mentioned in the AppDB. The music starts to play but

Hi everyone! I'm a Linux newbie (running Ubuntu Edgy), and even newer to Wine, but anyhow ... My problem is the following: I've been trying to start up an old Win 95 game -- Curse of Monkey Island 3, if you remember it -- and have the two CDs on my hard drive as .iso image files. So, I mount the first CD to make it accessible, and then add it as drive d: in the dosdevices folder. All

According to the AppDB it should work just fine but I'm having some problems and the search for the forums on "Baldur", "Bhaal" and "ToB" give no results. The game installed just fine.

I tried to run TGB Dual emulator and MSX emulator on Wine. Both seemed to run nicely on the first glimpse, but crashed when I tried to load the game files. I did not quite expect this since I felt that those emulators were quite simple in their programming details. Will it be possible in a near future for Wine to run these kinds of gaming emulators of old gaming consoles? Or is it already

Hi Alex, The first bit of advice that I was about to give was that you should have a look at a particular thread on the Arch Linux user forum. But as it turns out, the article that you found (which seems really well-written) already mentions that thread, and in fact even links to one of my comments on that thread, namely this comment: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1313007#p1313007

I'm not trying to blatantly advertise here. I'm trying to get some support for a community project I'm starting. I started a community named "Linux-Gaming.net", and its purpose is to promote gaming on the Linux platform, promote the availability of native Linux builds of commercial games, promote free-software games, and basically try to encourage people to at least try their

Hi! I have managed to get games like Team Fortress 2 and Mirror's Edge to finally run. But only with really bad performance. If I run glxinfo | grep direct in the terminal, I get: Code: direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) However, if I run sudo glxinfo | grep direct, it outputs this: Code: direct rendering: Yes I'm not sure if that is relevant, but it seems a bit odd.

I click on the icon and a blank text box shows up instead of the start of the game. I have the latest versions of Wine, Ubuntu and I just got winetricks. I have tried changing the Library with all of the items there. I have tried adding the .exe to Applications,

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on a Thinkpad T500, I believe I'm using the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics that come with it. I'm using the default WINE install, I think version 1.1.42. I'm trying to run Monkey Island 2: Special Edition downloaded from Steam. It actually sort of works. It installed just fine. When I first ran it gave me a blank screen and that was it.

So I've got some experience with wine, some experience recording, and a brand new gaming rig. I'm putting them to use making some gaming videos.

I bought a new computer for myself, and installed Kubuntu on it. I installed Steam on it, bought the orange box, tried to run TF2, and it didn't work. When I started it up, t showed the VALVE logo and played their little jingle, showed the Source logo, then the screen went blank and nothing happened :x . It opened it in the Konsole (Terminal) and it gave me this when the screen (on the desktop

Hi all! I'm not yet subscribed to this list (I'm going away for a 3 week vacation in a few weeks and I don't want my account to be filled) so please cc!

Hi, I'm trying to run this game called Hydorah, a retro styled space shooter in the style of Gradius, on Ubuntu 10.04 with Wine 1.3.0 from ubuntu-wine ppa. The problem is, that when I start the game it goes on like normal for couple of seconds. The intro graphics are shown and they work as normal for a while, but then it freezes and the music continues to play onwards. When pressing a button

Howdy, I would like to bring this topic up again. Gaming via tinc. We use tinc-1.0.16 on Linux, Win7 and WinXP so far. Setup was pretty straight forward. All the nodes have mode set to switch and subnet to 10.0.0.0/24. Ping works, smb shares work. Everything seems fine BUT connecting ingame only works with 1 out of 5 games. In some games, we see each other in the lobby. I conclude, that UDP
