Hi, While running Spore (steam version) on 1.1.42 with a GeForce 8600GT on Arch Linux x86-64, everything worked fine except for occasional DxDllReg.exe crashes. I have since replaced the card with an ATi Radeon HD4800 and the user interface now unbearably flickers, garbles (inflated bits of text and other UI elements appearing randomly) and generally looks far from correct (to the point where I

Hello all, I'm pretty much a newbie in linux, and I'm trying to play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on Linux Mint 12. I installed wine-1.2.3 according to the readme file (I hope). command: Code: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Bethesda\ Softworks/Oblivion/OblivionLauncher.exe gives: Code: err:wgl:opengl_error No OpenGL support compiled in. err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext

I'm new to linux, I tried installing Oblivion but for some reason it didn't work. So I uninstalled it and this message kept popping up every time I opened the wine installer thing. I want to Install Oblivion correctly but I don't know what to do or if this error thing will effect it in anyway. Please help!

I run setup.exe but nothing happens. Its listed in the process tree so it is running. Any ideas? All evidence lead em to believe that Oblivion ran well under WINE. I don't have directx installed and im using the game of the year edition.

Alright.. so.. it seems the newly released game, spore, almost works with wine.. with a few exceptions.. there is some graphical errors that apparently seems to be able to be fixed. I found a place on the internet where a guy have posted a blog entry on how to make it working... except.. I cant seem to figure out how to follow that guide. See it here: http://ericbetts.org/node/91 Can anyone

Tron 2.0 starts up, offers the init menu, and works fine until you try and actually start the game. At that point, it goes blank for about 5 seconds and then says "To play tron 2.0, you need DirectX 9.0a and a supported video card with hardware TnL." If you go to the 'display' menu it says that the DX9 renderer is selected, but has nothing listed for resolutions or displays. Is

I noticed while backing up my MacBook's /Users after I bricked it is this: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/SPORE Creature Creator Preferences/wineserver-HOSTNAME.DNS.TLD-USERNAME then I noticed the SPORE Creature Creator also had dlls and other win32 stuff Am I crazy or SPORE Creature Creator for Mac is just normal Spore Creature Creator with Transgaming? PS. the bricking of my MacBook

I have ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron), I think my graphics card is an ATI thing, running on 32bit... so machine is older, but most things work ok... the only trouble I'm having at the moment is getting my game of oblivion elder scrolls to run in this wine thing... wine 1.1.7... (that the latest one at the moment right?) I did have it running a while back in cedega, but my subscription is out (not

Hi. I'm using Fedora 9 (x86_64) and Wine 1.1.5. I updated my kernel today (my kernel version is 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64), and since then Spore stopped working (crashing at startup). I found a log file in Spore's folder, and uploaded it to my server.

Greetings, during installation of Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition GOTY in German on wine-1.3.21 the installation asks for inserting Disc 0 with the file data3.cab. Well, there is no such data3.cab on the DVD. Workaround for me was booting to WinXP, installing Oblivion there, booting to Gentoo, mounting the WinXP partition and copying the directory Oblivion to a suitable place in ~/.wine.

Good evening my fellow Linux enthusiasts, for some time now I've been trying to run "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" on WINE with very little success. I've gotten it to play but with no sound and very glitchy graphics. The various menus flicker wildly and the characters are messed up. A while ago I launched Oblivion from the terminal and here's what I got from it:

hi guys :) I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch). My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my GC isn't supported by the game. Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the game? greets from germany Hauke

I found a regression in Oblivion that results in flickering shadows.It requires the video driver/description patch in order to see it, otherwise shadows don't work at all.Since the patch itself is probably not causing the issue, should I post a bug report? I believe the issue may be in The Last Remnant as well, but I'm not sure it's the same issue (and it happens very infrequently,

I've been getting max 10 FPS in Oblivion, even with extremely low graphics settings. Any ideas why? I didn't have any problems with running Oblivion on Windows, and even for Wine this seems quite low. I think it might be my graphics card drivers possibly.
