I have been trying to add a launcher to the gnome menu for some of my wine games, but I have found that when I add them to the menu the games complain about missing files, I assume because it is looking for the rest of the game files in the directory that the launcher is in. This doesn't happen when I run the same command within the games directory they work fine. I used to have this problem

Hey, I have just installed civilization IV and it's expansions in wine. After doing the required workarounds to make it run correctly it seems to work quite well. However, I have come to realize that I am only able to launch it when using the automatic added menu entry in the wine folder Ubuntu menu. I have reviewed the command being executed and tried the command copied from the launcher

Hi, I have a number of games which have multiple install CD's which I have in ISO format (Need for Speed: Underground 2, Sim City: Deluxe and a few others).

Hi, Does anyone know the specifics of running two versions of WINE? I have an old WinBlows app that will work only with the 20010216 version, but some of my other apps do run better with the latest version of WINE. Would I be able to stick the old version somewhere in my directory hierarchy and still have a newer version for my newer apps? I suspect that the development folks do something

Whenever I run any application with wine it takes upwards of five minutes to start, even apps included with wine like wine cmd. I have been googling this for hours and cannot find anything really applicable to my situation. I am running Fedora 14 x86_64. I don't have a network printer. As far as I am aware fc-cache-32 doesn't exist on Fedora. I am trying to get some other program to

Hi: I'm a relative noob to Wine, and I'm having a little trouble getting Dawn of War (regular, plus Winter Assault) to run under Debian Lenny. When I try to install it, it always tries to install automatically to the c: drive, which I don't want to do because I don't have enough space (running on a laptop). I do, however, have a USB external drive, which I'd like it to load

Hi, i was really searching a lot (not only on this board), but im still not able to create reliable Launchers / Shortcuts for Wine Applications. While there are certainly many ways, which will SOMEtimes work for SOME Apps, I would appreciate it very much if there was a secure, reliable by-the-book way. So, there are certain apps on my pc, that run fine with wine, but it is of course always a

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

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

Hi all, I'm currently trying to run multiple Diablo 2 Windows with 1 user. Thats what i managed to do until now: if I use export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine2 and then run a copied d2, it works to join bnet twice, but when both are in the same game, 1 will get a Timeout. So i tried to find a sloution (and found one): I made another user (called "d21") and installed D2 into his personal .wine

I recently updated my Ubunto from 11.04 to 11.10 and I can no longer play windows games via wine. However I can still launch and use Steam, but I cant play any of the games there, Steam shows the "preparing to launch..." message but the game never launches. Also with World of Warcraft the game launcher opens up, I can see the news and all, but when I push the play button the launcher

By default Wine installs its fake-windows part into $HOME. I want rather have it on a separate partition, that I mount as /wine. How can I do this?
