My problem: After some time playing WoW (about 1-2 minutes) the whole screen turns white. Everything else seems to work perfectly, I still have sound and I still can interact with my character. I can even open a terminal (blindfolded) and type 'killall WoW.exe' to quit WoW and make the white screen go away. wine --version outputs 'wine-1.1.37' I use the propiertary nVidia drivers

I have a game (The Witcher Enhanced) that worked in 1.1.24, but does not in .25 or .26. It dies on startup with a black screen, and CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE (killing the X server) appears to be the only escape. In addition, attempting to run in with .26 makes changes in the .wine directory I use for the game, such that the only way to get it to run in .24 again is to reload the .wine directory from

Oi. So. Now we have a version of windows that actually has legit uses for wine. Windows 7 can't run horrifyingly outdated 16bit programs(Such as Exile Escape from the Pit) period. Atleast so Ive herd--and tried and seen to seem to be true. Not to mention a multitude of programs that SHOULD run--but just dont like it(Worms Armageddon, for one... though dunno if it works on wine) Also.

hi! i have a small problem with the game, my energy is black and toxicity too. Can you help me?

A query regarding WINE support for older hardware: Does Wine support the NVIDIA 7186 drivers, or are they too old and unsupported now? Following on from this post - http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7509 and http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=6574&highlight=rome+total+war I've been playing around a bit. I've tried without installing DX9 as well as using Winetricks to

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 and Wine 1.3.20. I've been trying to run The Witcher 2 but with no success. I've installed vcrun2010 with winetricks and downloaded mfcu100.dll (to system32) because that's what showed up to be missing when runnig game from terminal. Now all I get is this message: fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 and I have no clue what it means. I have the

Latest Nvidia drivers for linux has really nice speed boost. Most noticeable when gaming under Wine. When playing some latest games i had weird pauses at some effects. Now all of them are gone and the game I'm playing is almost smooth all the time =) For Ubuntu Deb packages i suggest this PPA for latest Nvidia Drivers. https://launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/ppa

Hi, I have a question : I own the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher so no problem with me but a friend of mine have the original version and want to update to enhanced version with patch 1.4 but since wine is not able to handle copy protection and the 1.4 patch need online verification (so copy protection active and running) is there a way to install this patch ?? Any help will be greatly

Hello. I have low performance in old DirectX7 game (Aliens vs Predator 2) on Windows. Can Wine ddraw windows build help me with my problem? I'v tried WineD3DForWindows, but compiled build is old and game shows only menu with glitches.

Hello. I've noticed that some games(like Witcher) need more ram to use. Problem is that I've got 4gb (3,5) but after playing a while wine is crashing when memory riches 1,6 or 1,7 GB. Obviously when you change some settings to low it runs longer, but some games just look great with full settings on(like Witcher:) ) What I want to ask is that : Is there a way to force wine with some

[Image: http://flare.xenmedia.org/uploads/Steamasd.png ] I get the following error, tried to google but found no working solution. Nothing has changed on my system. Steam worked fine when i tried it 1 week ago. I doubt the issue is Wine.

How do I add this registry key to wine: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "UseGLSL"="disabled" As it says to do at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9432? In order to get Portal 1 working. When I open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine in regedit there is no Direct3D. I tried making a .reg file containing the line

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for help on WineD3D, but as I am not using it for Virtualbox I thought it would be pretty useless to post on their forums. Basically I want to use Wine to bypass the new DirectX 10's annoying 'feature' of software accelerating any programs that use DX8 or lower. I makes playing some older games either impossible or impossibly slow,

I'm posting this message because I discovered that there appear to be serious video conflicts between some games running in wine, and the kde desktop. Specifically, I have been unable to get "The Witcher Enhanced Edition" to run without severely distorted video. I have both gnome and kde desktops on my system (kUbuntu jaunty-9.04). Today I tried running the game in gnome, and was

I'm new to linux but I been able to get some things working. I installed Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines with wine but when I run it stays on the loading screen.

Hi folks! We finally have an answer to a question posted in 2009... and the answer is: YES SET UP KERBEROS.

Here's my main reply: http://pastebin.com/3zq1r9pF . Basically I say that two tools, WhatChanged and RegShot, might not only help this situation out, but help get other programs to work in WINE. Also, I have links to other places in there and explain a little about SecuROM and why you need the disc (or emulate a disc) to START the game, but you can take it out later. Myth 11 and WINE's
