First: my apologies if this is posted somewhere else. I have been searching for a couple of months on how to resolve this issue. My problem: I can not get any games to run on Wine. It is however, only games. Other window based programs run on Wine just fine. The error message reads as follows: [The Program lol.launcher.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check http://appdb.winehq.org for tips about running this application If this problem is not present under Windows and had not been reported yet, you can report it at http://bugs.winehq.org ] This was while I was trying to load LoL (Leage of Legends) this is the same error message I get when I try to load the other and most important game to me, WoW. (World of Warcraft) my Specs: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Wine 1.2.2 I have checked and it is not an error with the permissions. I have been searching for an answer for a couple of months now. Can anyone help me?
I have done some file digging and found a few files that were not working properly. I have uninstalled and am currently reinstalling it per the instructions given in the FaQ section given here rather then the way and place I go this form previously. I am still using the most recent "stable" version. 1.2.2 I will reply with what happens once I am done.
Nope still the same issue. This is a file in wine called "display.drv" it is not working obviously but I do not know how to read all of this info and fix it. Any chance anyone knows what this says? Archive: /home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv [/home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: /home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv may be a plain executable, not an archive zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv or /home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv.zip, and cannot find /home/owner/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/display.drv.ZIP, period.

Any chance anyone knows what this says?what video card does the computer have and what driver and driver version are you using for the card?
Try this: cd $HOME mv .wine .wine-foo wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks-alpha sh winetricks-alpha wog That should get you a working copy of World of Goo, which you can run with cd ~/.wine/drive_c wine cmd /c run-wog.bat Let me know what happens (and also what graphics card and driver you're using).
This is the graphics card I am using: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller This is the driver: I have just found I have no drivers in use. I do not know how to do that but I will refer to the Ubuntu forums for that. I assume that will solve my problems. If not, I wlll be back later.
I think I read somewhere that Intel HD Graphics chips have very poor support in linux, are you able to use any 3d modes at all? or run compiz on your desktop? I might be wrong, but as soon as I saw something other than nvidia or ATI I had my suspicions.

If not, I wlll be back later.you can find and install drivers for that.. but I doubt it will help much. If you want to game in Wine, you need something that... can actually run a game, not a very old and VERY VERY slow (not to mention missing many needed features) integrated intel video controller.
