Firstly, I am using Computer A and Computer B Computer A --------------- - Windows 11 Computer B -------------- - Linux Mint 21.2 - Wine 8.02 Stable Starcraft Version (both) ----------------------------- - Version 1.23.10.12409 - The newer version (not the CD version) When I create a game on either ...

Thanks for sharing that tidbit.

Is there a topic discussion forum for Wine anywhere on the Internet?

If not, then I think there is a place for one on this website.

OK, it worked, thanks! In addition to jkfloris's advice, adding an options.ini, and deleting dgbhelp.dll, I can finally get C&C Generals and Zero Hour to work in time for Christmas! If that still doesn't work, try setting your Wine configuration to Windows XP. Merry Christmas! EDIT: I guess the ...

OK, here's the output when running Generals in the command line: 0114:err:winediag:wined3d_dll_init Using the OpenGL renderer. 0114:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION 0074:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x4a87e0, 0): stub 0074:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (...

I recently wiped my hard drive and installed Mint 21 OS onto it. When I installed Wine 7.01 and placed Command and Conquer Generals original, the game installed by putting data files from both CDs 1 and 2 and ran the installer. No problems there. When it is time to run Generals, the game keeps repor...

UPDATE: It seems that going back to Linux Mint 21 is the way to go.

They still need to take the 21.1 back to the drawing board.

Go with Mint 21, folks; problem solved.

I just added Linux Mint 21.1 and, after following the instructions, the command prompt craps out and says this: winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 7.0.1~jammy-1) Yes, I did try to fix the broken packages by entering both apt-get install -f and apt-get install --fix-broken Should I just revert t...

Have you tried running one of the Mono versions of Wine?

https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono

I don't know, try something!

I'll be very careful.

RonSMeyer: was the one that wiped out mines, but I am still running 20.3.

Yes, and this is embarrassing. Now I know that it's not WineHQ's problem, but mines. I'm sorry I trouble you, I will go away and not be a bother. I also contacted the tech helpers from the official Linux Mint forum and the guy lost his mind and went medieval on me. I found this out after doing a apt...

I was able to find the offending file:

I am using Linux Mint 20.3 with Wine 7.0. stable.

The last time I ran a cumulative update for Linux Mint, one of them tries to delete the wine-stable and winehq-stable updates.

I am now scared to run any updates.

What should I do?

It's not that I don't need anything in those folders, it's more that I have no intentions to run anything in those folders. I have made a Wine Prefix directory running 32-bit games and I intend to use only that for now. Is it safe to delete the .wine folder in those two aforementioned (see topic) di...

When another player makes a game, the entry is shown on the screen of the Wine version of Age of Empires II, be it original or expansion, but it cannot join. The OS is Linux Mint 20.3, the Wine version is 7.0 Stable, and winetricks directplay was made, but the game cannot be joined. Would this be a ...

After I specify a new Wine prefix, will newly-installed Windows icons installed in that prefix still show up on the Wine menu?

If I was to unzip files, say dlls, do I have to specify the WINEPREFIX directory at the shell to do it, or can I just pick the directory in the file viewer to do that?

I downloaded all the files required in a virtual machine version of the same GNU/Linux distribution, copied all the files needed into the host machine's cache directory, and winetricks still attempts to download the files. What have I done wrong? EDIT: Just realised that it's trying to downloaded fi...

As a matter of preference, I don't want to have to stay online to install file libraries before installing a game. In most cases, winetricks is always required to do that, and I'm hoping that the second, third, and fourth times around, that I can do it manually, however foolish it sounds. Is there a...

Thanks man.

Now one more question: how can you manage to answer all my dumb questions with smart answers all the time and with little waiting time? Just kidding!

I thank you for answering my questions.

The bug, a development one that was born from regression, can it slither its way into the stable version?

If so, what are the chances?

A little jumpy, I am.

Thank you for the answer, jkfloris. I am using a held-back version of Wine Development (7.2), because my Command and Conquer Generals game continued displaying disappearing textures again in the newer versions (I saw it on 7.5). The bug was reported to the Bugzilla system of WInehq.org. Should repor...

Which Wine version do I need to use before I get help here, Stable, Development, or Staging?

In the Bugzilla portion, I need to use Development, which is why I ask.

Thanks!
