Hi all, I just thought I'd stop in and voice a few thoughts concerns. I really enjoyed playing The Sims 2 and some of its expansion packs in Windows; it was one of my favorite games. I would truly love to see it working playably in WINE (there was a patch/mod that allowed it to start up, as I'm aware, but it wasn't very playable). I understand that it would be a large amount of

Thanks to both SpawnHappyJake and tparker for the recommendation to update the AppDB. Just did :-). Also, I did find a little news ; it looks like some more work was done recently on vertex shaders in wine in version 1.3.28. I remember reading that something about vertex shaders was part of one of the show-stopping problems in Sims 2. Hibba

Hi all, I was looking here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8051 , and in comment 81 it was recommended to contact the lead Wine developer(s) about the bug in question. I'm not sure who to contact, though. Might someone be able to tell me who would be an appropriate person/people to contact, please? Thanks! Hibba.

When I try to run Sims 2 in Wine it doesn't detect my graphics card correctly. There was no problems during the installation. Picture of the error: [Image: http://merkelig.org/sims2/sims2error.png ] Although in the AppDB people report that the game runs fine except for some graphical glitches and my graphics card should support DirectX 9. I've tried to run it with Wine 1.0 and a Git

Hello, I've just installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Deluxe (I think it's called 'Platinum' in the US, the version with both addons) on my Kubuntu 8.04 partition with Wine 0.9.59. The installation works fine, but when I try to start the game, the following error message appears: "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See www.securom.com/copy for more

I am trying as hard as I can to find a solution to get the Sims 2 to work. I have a new copy on the way and everything I hear says the game wont play in wine. Now I had an idea, the last time I ran the Sims 2 was on a Mac. I know for a fact the the Mac version is just in a Cider wrapper, I know because I've opened it before. Now I'm sure EA didn't dump thousands of dollars to rebuild

Hello. I'm currently using donet20 to run the sims 3 launcher. It is very laggy and flashes alot. I don't know if Mono will help or not, as I've tried it, but it doesn't seem to run when I try to open it. Any help? Has anyone gotten this to work close to flawlessly?

I was wondering if Wine lost 10.5 compatibility, or if any of the few people out there with it have noticed a problem. Up through 1.3.25 it seems to compile and work fine. On 1.3.26 and 1.3.27 the compile will fail with errors about a bunch of symbols in msxml3.dll.so that are not found. Building 1.3.26 and 1.3.27 on 10.6 or 10.7 using a 10.5 SDK it will build fine and still work on 10.6 and

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

I am new to WINE, and Unix-based systems in General. I have up until recently been using Windows XP Home, but after installing Spore, SecuROM was also installed onto Ring 0 of the Kernel and has pretty much fried my computer. Apparently, because of where it installed itself, it interfered with other programs and now I can't get anything to work right. So I switched to Ubuntu 8.10 for 64-bit

hello, this is the first time i have posted here so if i get it wrong ill say sorry now. anyway to the problem, ive been trying to install a game for my son (4 years old) its called rubbadubbers, based on a childrens bbc show of the same name, it comes on a cd rom and according to the box can be installed on a pc or a mac (dont know if this makes a difference or not) ive installed the game using

I have made the daring (and possibly idiotic) decision to play BCR on my laptop instead of my desktop computer, as my desktop is single core and therefore runs the game rather sluggishly while my laptop is dual-core. The only problem with this is that my laptop runs Linux. Does anyone knwo what I might have to tweak in order to get it to run? Will I have to disable SecuROM?

Always when I try to run any program protected by SecuRom I get this message: Code: A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (7000). Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000 for further, more detailed information. I've read SecuRom works in Wine, so why doesn't it work for me?

I'm trying to play Runaway - The Dream of the Turtle under Wine. The game is listed as platinum in the AppDB, so I didn't expect a lot of problems. However, when I try to run it I get this in terminal and nothing else happens: Code: fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx 0x1110e0 0 fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111700, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33a13c) using

When i run sims 3 it runs fine but the sound works for 3 mins ,then it either plays very fast like 10000 faster or it would just stop. Any Suggestions????

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey guys, I just subscribed to this list - maybe discussions related to this error are already going on, but I couldn't find a lot when I googled it. I will just assume this isn't known or fixed yet, let's see how it goes. Whenever I run The Sims 2 with a No-CD crack (otherwise it won't run) in Wine, I get the following error:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16664 As much as I am leaping for joy at the thought that i'll be able to play the Sims 3 without switching to Mac OS X or Windows, I have a question: 1. How would they know if the game works or not if it doesn't come out till July??? Also, I find it a bit of an oddity that The Sims 3 will work under Wine straight away when

Hey you guys, ok I have been trying to get The Sims 3 base game running on my Lenovo L512 on Ubuntu 10.04 for several months now and I just don't seem to be successful. So I was hoping, maybe you can help me out on this one: I installed it using PlayOnLinux (v. 3.8.8) which installs Wine 1.3.4, I run the game on Wine 1.2.1 (since thats the working Version, see here:
