Is there some way to enable hardware acceleration in PopCap Games like Zuma and Insaniquarium? If so, are there any DLL's needed for it to work?

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 and, ever since then, I am not able to play any PopCap games at all whatsoever via Wine. Everytime I play any PopCap game via Wine, I get the following error message.... [Image: http://www.geocities.com/reeslester/errormsg.png ] Can anybody please explain to me what this means and what can be done to fix this problem? Here is the entire bugging message

Hello everyone! I have an question, how do you disable the hardware acceleration for Popcap games in Wine.

(Sorry for bad english) Thanks

Hello everyone, new user here. I currently have wine 1.0-rc1 installed. I just happened to notice that most games from popcap.com fail to install. The installer tries to put a link to a web page in the user's start-menu, which fails (according to wine and/or the installer) - however the .LNK file seems to be written properly. I'm stumped on this one [Shocked] This used to work in 0.99.xx

Hi Is anyone here using NVIDIA display drivers and a TwinView configuration on their systems? I've got a bit of an issue with such a setup, which started occurring after a recent driver update: I have a laptop that's normally connected to an external monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster), where this monitor and the built-in display on the laptop are set up with a TwinView configuration. The

Ok, this isn't really a simple thing to describe so I'll state the basic problem first and things I've noticed that are most likely associated with it. The problem is while playing World of Warcraft on a Twinview activated X-Server, the camera will do random jumps around my character when the mouse is clicked. Now by 'random' I actually mean a few things: 1. This

Hi all, I would like to know which component needs to be substituted to get a better performance in Starcraft 2. On windows 7 64 bit I get on highest graphics settings something at 30 fps. On my openSuse 11.3 64 bit system with wine 1.3 and nvidia driver I am only able to reach 18 fps or so. My PC: - 6 GB RAM - Intel E6600 @ 2 x 2.40GHz (only 60% while playing) - Nvida Geforce 8800 GTS 768 MB

I'm hoping somebody can tell me how to fix this. I use Altium Designer 10 with Wine on Fedora 14. I'm using nVidia TwinView with a GeForce GTS450. What happens is that when I have the window on my left screen, I have 3D acceleration, but the GDI text overlays disappear. When I move the window to the right hand screen, I lose 3D acceleration, but my GDI text overlays (PCB trace net names)

The command I run (important bits):- Code: wine explorer /desktop=civ4,1280x800 Civ4BeyondSword.exe My system has twinview running, an external monitor (1280x1024) and my laptop LCD (1280x800). Gnome sees it as one large monitor of 2560x1024, my monitor is on the left, my LCD on the right. Even though I start wine from the laptop monitor, it starts up (with indicated resolution) on the

Hi, I'm testing compiz with nvidia driver 9629. twinview active on 2 monitor(same resolution on both 1280x1024)and I found a strange behaviour, when I try to lock the screen only the primary monitor get the screensaver instead on the second monitor I can still move windows and see it's content.

In my current setup, using Compiz Fusion under Ubuntu with TwinView (Xgl w/ Xinerama flag set), I've noticed some strange behavior coming from the Place Windows plug-in. First off, under Compiz, windows are placed depending on what screen they're executed from, i.e. execute gedit from the left monitor and it positions there, execute it from the right monitor and it positions there

Hello, As a Gentoo user i met an issue regarding Eve Online (maybe other games, I don't play that much). For years, I've been using compiz (0.8.4) to enable fullscreen on a single display (dual display using TwinView), as I have serious issues using xinerama. To do so, I'm using a compiz window rule checking for every EVE titled app. But the trick do not work anymore since wine

Hi, I am running ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, and I have compiz working on one monitor ( a bit slow though ). When I add twinview to the mix compiz still comes up, and sort of works but: 1. I loose the background and it is replace by all white 2. The second monitor draws about 30% of the new white background, then it ends with a bit of a shadow, and then it continues with black 3.

Hi, Is anyone here using TwinView with NVIDIA graphics drivers under CentOS 5? Just tried this configuration (I've been using dual monitors as separate X screens in the past), and while it works in a sense, there are a few issue that will probably prevent me from using it for real. Notably, which screen new applications start on (when using the Applications menu or panel launchers) seems to

I can play WoW perfectly, it is 100% stable and I can get great fps. One problem though, when I minimize the game and I maximize it, sometimes I can just keep playing happily but sometimes thats not the case. I minimize it, maximize it again and the FPS drops to about 10-20fps (anywhere). As you might know, this is VERY annoying, I've tried changing loads of settings in-game with no help.

When ever I try to run FEAR 2 or Half-Life in Steam the "Preparing to launch" window comes up and then disappears. I assume every game I have will do this same thing, but it takes way to long to install anything in Steam. Both games produce the following output in the terminal: Code: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

wisotool is a handy winetricks-like script for automatically installing games from .iso files copied from your own dvds (or, if the game is freely downloadable, it will download it). Just like winetricks, it is intended to make testing Wine easier, but might be useful for people who simply want to install games. Unlike winetricks, wisotool is quiet by default; it doesn't ask any questions

Hey, I tried to install 2 new Games in Wine; Call of Duty 4 and C&C 3 Tiberium Wars. Both of them make Problems (Other Games like GTA San Andreas and Crashday runs fine). C&C 3 start, but I don't have a Cursor. It's Invisible. I tried some Options in Wine and searched an Option to set the Mouse from HW-Cursor to SW-Cursor, but it hasn't a function for that (but I think

Hello, I've tried a few Steam games, and played them for a bit, but I have a few problems: 1) Because I run dual monitors, normal full screen games will not work. Furthermore, full screen games with a virtual desktop go in a 800x600 window and will not resize, so I have to play the games in a window in a virtual desktop. This is relatively minor and I can live with it, but it anyone has a
