Testing basic direct x capability
Hi,
I am running wine 0.9.58 and having problems running Counter Strike:
Source, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.
I think this is caused by the direct x layer in wine.
My system runs opengl programs fine using the ATI driver (Radeon 3850).
Is there any way I can test directx functionality without having to
download a game?
Dxdiag.exe is not included in wine.
Best regards,
Chris

Trackmania through steam
I just installed steam+TMN and it seems to run quite well apart from sound.
I tried switching to OSS and got not sound while on ALSA I get the occasional "click" and thats about it.
Other software I have run through wine is WAR beta and WoW both of which play sound fine, so I suspect maybe Steam is holding up the sound device or something?
I am on Ubuntu Hardy. I also used winetricks

EPSXE under WINE.
Hello. This thread is to help anyone having problems with using EPSXE psx emulator in WINE.
EPSXE can work in WINE, only if you install directx in WINE. WINE alone does not have directx installed with it but EPSXE requires directx to function. You would need to install directx using any game which has "Install DirectX" or something similar. The redist packages for directx found online

Windows DirectDraw?
I just tried to install an ancient detective-type RPG ( I am not up with the
classifications.)
(a) It offered to install DirectX. Since Wine has its own DirectX, I
ignored that.
(b) The game failed to run because (according to the message box) it
couldn't find DirectDraw. This showed as a Fixme in the terminal, while
the error message was to do with the display settings - there was no mode

frame/graphics lag in microsoft Freelancer
Huhu,
I installed MS Freelancer via PlayOnLinux, but I have some graphics lags ingame/the game was redicoulus slow, I also wasn't really able to start a new game since the game hang up (kinda. It just didn't wanted to finish loading)
One idea of me would be that it still runs in DX mode, how can I change it to OpenGL?
On a side note, I have enough ressources to run the game at windows.

PWGL, some improvements
Hi,
few months ago I started a thread about running PWGL under wine. PWGL is a "
free cross-platform visual language based on Common Lisp, CLOS and OpenGL,
specialized in computer aided composition and sound synthesis. "

However, because I had to use winetricks to install Microsoft Visual C++

I'm having difficulties running WonderKing (http://wonderking.ndoorsgames.com/center/default.asp) on an Intel Mac version 10.5.8 using Wine 1.1.35.

Halo2 and msvc issues
Greetings.
Since Halo 2 still doesn't seem to work in Wine, or at least noone put an entry saying it worked up in AppDB, I decided to give it another shot using 1.0-rc1.
I have no hope that the original version (which is Vista-only) will ever EVER work in Wine, so I got me the dopeman XP version. This is cracked or something to work with XP.
This version does not use an installer, but instead

Trying to run RIFT on OS X 10.6 and Having DirectX Issues
I've been working for a few hours to get RIFT running on my Mac Pro. I really don't want to have to get a full windows license to play the game so it seemed like a good alternative.
So I pulled wine via macports (I did this today so I got wine-1.2.2). Then downloaded the game and got it patched (my wife has a Windows machine and a Rift account). This is where progress stopped. I find that

winetricks vcrun2005 does not appear to install system32 dll
I'm a newbie, sorry in advance :p I have been searching here and reading threads and can't seem to find an answer, hence this post. I saw a nice example of what I am trying to do so I'll copy that format and perhaps it will illustrate better than I can explain. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy, 64bit.
My only goal currently is to install the redist, using winetricks is the proper method
