similar to: Daft question: howto downgrade?

What on earth has happened to spore. It used to work fine with wine 1.1.12, no real problems. Picked it up today to have a game and nothing, it tries to load and don't even get to the front screen. I have wine 1.1.16 and have downgraded to 1.1.13 with no joy. I have Nvidia graphics driver 177, downgraded to 173 and no joy. That is a shame, I did enjoy that game and now it's not working.

Alright.. so.. it seems the newly released game, spore, almost works with wine.. with a few exceptions.. there is some graphical errors that apparently seems to be able to be fixed. I found a place on the internet where a guy have posted a blog entry on how to make it working... except.. I cant seem to figure out how to follow that guide. See it here: http://ericbetts.org/node/91 Can anyone

Hi, While running Spore (steam version) on 1.1.42 with a GeForce 8600GT on Arch Linux x86-64, everything worked fine except for occasional DxDllReg.exe crashes. I have since replaced the card with an ATi Radeon HD4800 and the user interface now unbearably flickers, garbles (inflated bits of text and other UI elements appearing randomly) and generally looks far from correct (to the point where I

I noticed while backing up my MacBook's /Users after I bricked it is this: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/SPORE Creature Creator Preferences/wineserver-HOSTNAME.DNS.TLD-USERNAME then I noticed the SPORE Creature Creator also had dlls and other win32 stuff Am I crazy or SPORE Creature Creator for Mac is just normal Spore Creature Creator with Transgaming? PS. the bricking of my MacBook

Hi. I'm using Fedora 9 (x86_64) and Wine 1.1.5. I updated my kernel today (my kernel version is 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64), and since then Spore stopped working (crashing at startup). I found a log file in Spore's folder, and uploaded it to my server.

hi guys :) I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch). My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my GC isn't supported by the game. Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the game? greets from germany Hauke

I trying to play my games Oblivion and Spore. I almost got oblivion to work but when I click create new game it freezes and forces me to quit it, not to mention it's really slow and skips. It's not my computer because it exceeds the requirements by far. And then spore won't even start.

I know this is on crossover, but seeing as crosover is just a tweaked version of wine (or something) i thought you guys could help out. Just wondering, I'm wanting to play yuris revenge and red alert 2 on my mac using crossover. It works, but is slow, and so following this; http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/cat/?app_id=4149;forum=1;msg=56763 it tells me to run wine regedit. but i

I am moving mail servers so I must copy /var/spool/mail/ over to the other machine. I understand and have used locally the copy methods(manpage is good) but I need to ask what will be the fstest possible

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

I'm a first-time Linux and Wine user, and I don't understand how to run Wine yet. I have Mint Elyssa, and I am trying to install Spore. When I try to run autorun.exe, this message appears: Error starting autorun program: Permission Denied I got this same message before and after installing Wine. Does this have anything to do with Securom, or am I just not understanding Wine?

I am trying to get Spore to work under WINE. I have installed the game plus the Galactic Adventures expansion without any problems, but when I try to run it I get a black screen and an error box stating "The program SporeApp.exe has encountered a serious problem and need to exit" Below is the output from the terminal. Any ideas on what might be causing this. I have update the graphics

Hi. I'm trying to run Spore, and I noticed that this patch is supposed to solve the problem where the server can't be found: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-September/061125.html Pardon my ignorance, but how do I use it? I have searched for information about this, but to no avail. Also, which version of GIT should I use? Found a lot of different packages here:

Hello, I'm quite new in Wine and haven't been able tu run any games. The last two games tested are installing fine but when I tried to launch them I have a message saying that graphic device is below our min specs. My graphic card is ATI V5250 Mobility and because I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 i can't install ATI proprietary drivers which are not supported anymore with xorg 1.6. So my

I just switched over to Ubuntu from Mint, and I've finally installed Wine successfully. However, even after checking the Wine Wiki, I can't figure out how to install/run Windows programs. (The one I'm trying to do right now is Spore.) I've been fiddling around with winecfg for a while and I haven't managed to do anything yet. Could someone please give me (or link me to) a clear

Dear R-users: I am using the package MAANOVA to analyze microarray data and have encountered problems when trying to plot data.

There are several functions in MAANOVA (riplot, resiplot) which call the

Like the title says, I have a very nasty virus on wine. I swear I've also encountered this same one (A few months ago) on a seperate vista machine. I Have a virus that does not seem to be doing anything, and stopped working after an 'X' reboot. However, It did try to execute a modified version of winlogo.exe (Windows logon executable), but we all know you can't log onto a Linux

I upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, and Wine 1.1.8 some time last week, and then reinstalled Spore to give it some play. It worked fine for a couple of days, but now I'm in the space stage and the game is incredibly sluggish. This wasn't happening beforehand, it was running fast and marvellously smooth until I tried to stop a war on my home planet. This appears to be a recurring theme,
