similar to: Can I play any Win7 game on Linux?

I'm an avid gamer, I play all kinds of games and a wide variety of specific titles, be they on the A-list or B-list. How realistic would it be for a person like me to rely solely on WINE for PC gaming? I understand that the pace with which WINE can catch up is relatively quick (a few months), but a few months is still a long time to wait if I'm itching to get started on a new release. I

I have a GTX260 216 core, running the latest Nvidia binary driver(260.xx). I have a Phenom II x4 3.2ghz, and 4GB of DDR3-1600 ram. All in all, not a bad system. Now, my problem is that no matter what settings I use, I tend to get in the 30-50fps range with DX8.1. Lower if there's a lot of action onscreen. The interesting thing is that my frame-rate doesn't change significantly with

I know that in uBuntu, you must use wine to play Windows game, and the wine makes the performance drop, well at least that is what i know, maybe i am wrong and i also seen lots of people with monster PC rig using uBuntu, and many games works just fine so here's a question to all those uBuntu gamer out there that have been successfully play a game with high settings and without a problem in

Hi All I'm new to this list. Would anyone kindly tell me what is the level of progress of Wine toward DX10 implementation? Thank you! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/attachments/20081024/feb4ef0e/attachment.htm

In this forum post : http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9260 , it has been suggested that we test DX10 games and that we report issues. However, with only about 5% of the entire implementation done, we can expect a lot of things to not work properly. Hence, I was wondering how would it be best to proceed with reporting. Is it recommended to test with winetricks d3dx10, or clean wine? What

That's what I'm going to do, after purging all the current nvidia stuff frommy system. The second thing I'm going to do is download, build and install the latest decent version of Wine. Thanks for all your advice. It's been really helpful. --------- One more question. What with OpenGL support getting dropped from WoW, I was wondering if it was worth trying to use DirectX under

Can anyone tell me or point me to information telling me what is the correct way to use directx 10 or 11 for games in Wine, what do I need to install to do so, and do I then need to use a special tag (like the -opengl tag) when starting a game? I have been googling and having a hard time making sense of the information I have been finding. Some places reference a 'wine dx10' and some

Hello, I'm trying to use Theora video codec with DirectX 8 and DiretX 7. The problem seems to be out format of Theora decoder wich is YV12 and incompatible with DirectShow Video Renderer Filter. Do you know a filter able to convert YV12 to RGB, usable in a commercial application ? May I have to make such a filter myself ? Is is said in the README file of oggdsf archive : "You need

Greetings. Since Halo 2 still doesn't seem to work in Wine, or at least noone put an entry saying it worked up in AppDB, I decided to give it another shot using 1.0-rc1. I have no hope that the original version (which is Vista-only) will ever EVER work in Wine, so I got me the dopeman XP version. This is cracked or something to work with XP. This version does not use an installer, but instead

I've got wine 0.9.57 and installed directx 9.0 but it seems doesnt work. I've installed new ati drivers, new audio drivers.

Tron 2.0 starts up, offers the init menu, and works fine until you try and actually start the game. At that point, it goes blank for about 5 seconds and then says "To play tron 2.0, you need DirectX 9.0a and a supported video card with hardware TnL." If you go to the 'display' menu it says that the DX9 renderer is selected, but has nothing listed for resolutions or displays. Is

So I got ye olde winetricks. When I try and get it to install DX9 all goes well until it actually begins unpacking files. Then the terminal pops up with a nasty error msg. err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144 and when it's all over with, DX9 is not installed. What's going on here? And how do I fix it?

Hello! When I start Gw.exe with the Windows 98 profile it works very good. But I only have DX8 graphics. I guess this is the reason, why the game works so good. Changing the profile to Win XP (and therefore GW uses now DX9) I have much graphic problems. Even at the lowest settings I have much errors. I have installed DX9 with winetricks and I have a ATI 4900 Card which can do DX 10 and OpenGL

I updated wine to latest git (wine-1.1.26-390-g31dab8f) and upgraded my nvidia drivers to 190.18. When I attempted to test some of the DX9 and 10 games I usually test, none of them seem to be able to recognize either my DX version or the drivers. I suspect that the drivers are the issue. Here is a relevant example from a test for Assassins Creed. xavier at xavier-pc
