I would like to run the MMORPG Roblox on my Ubuntu Linux computer: http://www.roblox.com They don't have native Windows support so I installed the latest version of Wine and tried to run Roblox using the open source launcher created here: http://roblox4linux.co.cc The Launcher can be downloaded here: http://forums.roblox4linux.co.cc/index.php?topic=144.0 When I try to join a game, I get a

I'm having a weird problem with WINE. I've tried the latest version from here, the latest version in the Ubuntu repositories. I'm using Kubuntu 11.04 x86_64. I'm running AMD Phenom II x4 @ 2.5 GHz, 6 GB of RAM, ATi Radeon x1950 PRO with 512 MB vRAM. Don't know which display drivers I'm using, its whatever I'm working with. I can play any game with no problems...except

I prefer to run games that require CDs from image files, since it is faster and protects the life of my CDs. In windows, I would just mount the disc image and I could then play. But using Wine and Ubuntu, it appears to work differently. When installing a Windows CD using WINE under Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, how should I go about mounting a disc image so it is seen by games running under WINE as a CD?

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

I've installed Wine 1.3.28 on Ubuntu 11.04. I've been having some odd problems that I can't seem to get around. My optical disk drives aren't visible when I try to use applications like DVD Shrink, I can't seem to detect them. When I try to install some apps like Amazon Kindle and WoW, they will install, but just not open. When I run Startcraft II, it'll play, but it

I have searched the forums and cant seem to find an answer. I have noticed that when i run games and programs under wine its only useing 1 core. While when i run native Linux apps they use both cores. Also the games and programs that i am running under wine use both cores when run under windows. Is this a bug, or maybe just something i dont have setup correcly on my computer. Computer specs.

Hi, For some (most?) games the screen edges are used for scrolling/turning, etc. Running them in Wine is no problem in full-screen, but in Windowed mode the mouse just moves off, and if the mouse has been 'jerked' fast enough, it is left within the window some distance away from the screen edge. Meaning the window doesn't scroll/your character doesn't turn. Is there any way for

Hello, I noticed that in the last period, many gaming companies started to build free games for the online platforms. I think that in the next period of time, they will appear allot of 3d games on social sites. My example is N.O.V.A. from facebook (developed by Gameloft). From my pov it's a very good start for online 3d games. So, what's my problem: I want to play nova on linux, using

Thing is, the sha1sum was the same as the first time I downloaded the ISO so there was no corruption to speak of. I really don't know why it wasn't working before. I haven't done much in the preview except try out Spartan and do some configuration. I like the UI design.

Hello! I'm at my wits end with regard to the following problem: after I upgraded my Linux distribution, no windows program running with wine (either 1.2 or 1.3) that changes the graphic mode would run anymore. It is quite possible that I inadvertently changed something in my configuration at some point, though I believe that I by now have tried everything. I'd rather not post specific

Alright. I had Ubuntu 7.10 with wine .9 something or other. I installed Warcraft 2, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 all just fine. I then decided I wanted to install Flash CS3 so I was following these instructions as best I could: http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-and-photoshop-cs3-running-in.html Once this failed, I decided to upgrade wine to the 1.0 version for

Having avoided them for some time now, based on compatibility concerns as I began to learn and use Linux full time, I?ve recently gotten the urge to start playing around with some 64-bit distro?s. The benefit of course is running more than the 4Gb (system-wide) limit imposed by a 32-bit OS. In my current system I only have 2Gb (2x1Gb) of RAM so I?m thinking of either adding 4Gb (2x2Gb) or even

I've been using Linux Ubuntu for a few days, but I already love it :) However, when I'm running windows games under wine, I get less than 10fps, while under windows they work really fast. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers from ubuntu repositories and Direct X 9c under wine (yes, dxdiag works, and it passes all the tests). I have also seen on youtube, that many people don't have
