So I'm trying to get Fable working, and after going through the various things that I had found on the 'net, it's still not working. So I am wondering what else I could do? I installed DirectX 9, Windows Media Player, and Fable itself without much trouble. The game boots and goes through the splashscreen and opening animation, and then quits. I looked briefly through the output on the terminal, but I can't really make heads or tails of it. So I am wondering, can anyone help me with what I'm suppost to be looking for, or how to tell what's causing the game to crash?

This is most likely the cause. Do not install native DirectX. John

Paste the output and we'll help. If it's a lot, use pastebin. -- -Austin
Funny thing is, I just read that a DirectX couple minutes after posting [Laughing] Oh well. We'll see if I have to redo it. By the way, how would I do that? I saw something about a complete reinstall of Wine. I guess that is because the install writes over the versions of the files that Wine uses? Also, here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m28f85740 I have looked through it a bit... there are a bunch of fixmes comming up and some errs also. I saw on the wiki that fixmes tend to be aimed more at developers... but I am thinking maybe the errs show more serious problems? I mean like, how can I tell what might be caused by a file or dll? Also, thank you, you two
Okay. I'll have to do that then... In the mean time, I have a couple questions - Is it possible to remove just one program with a command like that so I don't have to try to reinstall anything else? - What exactly is the native vs. builtin distinction in user.reg? I got the impression that native uses a dll from the system or system32 folder, whereas builtin uses a dll from the /usr/ directory. But if you switch a file from builtin to native, for instance, does it write over the file in the /usr/ directory, or does it just redirect the command to the other file? Also, what does it mean when it lists both native and builtin?
