Hello, I am running Wine 1.0 under Fedora 9 x86_64. The problem is that the two mentioned games use a lot of CPU power about 50 % on a 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. At first I thought this is caused by GDI DirectDraw renderer, but changing to opengl did not help. Also, it is just the same when you configure Diablo to use Direct3D renderer. Does anybody has any idea where can I look for the source of this

Hello. I'm trying to run Diablo 2 under wine. The game installs fine (D2 + LoD + Patch 1.11b), but I experience some serious performances issues. Wine is set to Windows XP mode (otherwise, the game protection doesn't work). The game is very sluggish when the minimap is open, when setting the key binding, or on battle.net menus. The only choice I got from D2VidTst.exe is DirectDraw HAL.

Hello all, I was installing Thomas the Tank Engine (for my son, not me) and ran into 2 problems: - Unless I added "Desktop"="1024x768" to [Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver] in user.reg, the program would give a DirectDraw error. Is there a better way to fix this error? - The mouse works, but it keeps returning to the bottom right corner. I applied a patch (settings.c.diff), which

Everywhere I look people are just saying that Diablo II runs perfectly on wine without any problems. I installed successfully, but when I insert the play disc, my screen resolution changes and in the corner I can see one white letter with a black background that is constantly changing not apparently spelling anything. After a while this stops, and I can't do anything until I restart X. I am

Hi, I am trying to compile wine in an AMD64 Ubuntu machine, taking the precautions needed shown in the winehq's wiki to do it. The compilation finishes fine, but for some reason there is no support for some things that used to have in the i386 pre-compiled package. One of them is ALSA sound. I use ALSA because for some reason OSS sometimes ruins the sound making it look like a loud scratch

I am trying to play Diablo II v1.03 using Wine version 20041201 (the version currently in Debian Unstable). The game installs fine, but when I try to play it, it does not load.

It installs properly and will run, but at the title menu all I get is a blank screen, but the menu is there for I can navigate it, i just can't see it.

Hello: I've got a PC that I just set up with Fedora 10 that has a Voodoo5 5500 AGP card. I have the Glide3 drivers installed, and Glide is working with X11 just fine with DRI. My question is, how do I get Wine to use this card in Glide mode (not DirectDraw or Direct3D)? I have seen posts about installing Glide wrappers in Wine with other Nvidia and ATI cards, but do I need to install the

As far as I remember every game that uses D3D with wine doesn't work properly, doesn't work or work very very slow.
