Hai everyone, well once again, I need halp! A game recently came out, and like always, this game is not executable in a Mac. Anyway, I'm having major problems trying to run the game... If anyone out there is willing to help me please reply me! PS: The game is called Xen Online, http://xen.mayngames.com/main for more info. It's in closed beta ATM, so if you need the beta key, please tell me! Thanks!

How about giving US a clue which game by giving us a name and do so up front (this is not a slam but did you read the newcomers sticky before posting here. It really helps if you do so.)> Anyway, I'm having major problems trying to run the game...Gee. That is not new news to anyone here.> If anyone out there is willing to help me please reply me! >We cannot do anything to help you until the game is released and ready for prime time. If you are the developer, the situation changes. If you are a tester, please read through the NDA before posting here. You might not even be able to discuss the existence of the program.

So I switched it to OpenGL and the "3D" images or effects look all altered... Is it because I need to update OpenGL? If you know how to do it, please tell me! > > > Okay. No offense but I find people like you incredibly annoying. You come on to a forum without doing any self-help (i.e. type you problem into google) and you scream for someone to spoon feed you info? Then when people ask you to elaborate - more whining. > > Your problem is that you need to get a fucken PC bro. You will continue to have problems with games and other open-source apps because no one uses f-ing macs! Get a pc, load windows 7, and all your problems will be solved. Then you can play the Sims or whatever. But Wine tends to be unstable and if your not willing troubleshoot on your own...save yourself hours of grief. Dump your mactard.Um, my friend, you're getting mad at me over something like this? Seriously I'm new to this thing so I know, honestly, nothing... I just want my game to work, but I don't know why it's not working properly... What whining? It's just pixels, lol. I found you quite pathetic to get mad at these sorts of things, I don't know much about this so SORRY if I didn't give enough info.
Assuming you used macports to install wine (which is probably likely), What you'll want to do to get the latest version of wine is type these commands into terminal... Code: sudo port deactivate wine sudo port install wine-devel If you're using fink, personally don't know how to use that, but I'd imagine this would do the trick: Code: sudo apt-get remove wine sudo apt-get install wine-dev Hope that helps. The appdb seems to indicate that the game runs fine in wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22922 If it works for you, consider adding your results =). Good luck.
