wine users - May 2012 - 1.5.1 better than 1.5.3 ?!

Hello world,

am currently testing wine 1.5.3 on ubuntu 12.04 - but am bit frustrated.
It does not work with crysis 2 limited edition.

I tested the wine 1.5.1 on old computer with crysis 2.
1.5.1 seems to work fine with ... ( but old computer is to slowly for crysis 2).
- here is Debian testing sid.

New computer with 1.5.3 has trouble - I configurated anything correctly.
nvidia - settings is thrown out by installation of ironhide. nvidia - graphics
is now supported fine ... only wine is crashing here too often and always at
same position of loading game-levels ... it seems to be internal errors.
- here is ubuntu 12.04

wine 1.5.3 seems have no trouble with Arena 3.0 and stockfish-222 - but thats
different topic.

how do I downgrade back to wine 1.5.1 on ubuntu ? there seems to be no
wine-package with 1.5.1 for ubuntu ... how can I solve this ?

thank you for hints.

Regards.
dschinn.

One thing that might be helpful, when you are posting to this list ->
is to run your application from a terminal, and post the errors.
Asserting (in a very vague way) that it seems to be 'internal errors'
~ is likely not helpful, nor useful to anyone who might be able to
help identify your problem.

wiki.wineHQ.org (the wiki pages) has excellent resources on how to
collect information. Have a look through. The FAQ is very useful and
covers a lot of stuff;

Well, with a bit of googling, it would sem 1.5.1 isn't packaged for
ubuntu because of a bug where wine app icons weren't showing up in the
Dash, as cited here; (scroll down to wine 1.5.1)

http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/wine/precise/main/base/wine

So you could use this version, just don't expect the icons to work
properly with Unity's dash (if you use unity).

You also have the option of compiling wine from source;

http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source

you can grab any version of wine (source code) that you like from here;

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/

just scroll down the page to find the whatever version you are looking for.

so those are some options, anyway.
