I am sure they will appreciate your compliments! Now go and give something back to the wine community and fill test data for the program! http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2893 (consider yourself lucky you only have to submit test results, one of my games did not run p...

Hi all

I would like to run an old game that was written for directx5. Is there a way to change that in wine? Also, if I want to disable directdraw how can I do it?

Many thanks

Costas

hi there, there is a much easier way to do it, go grab yourself PlayOnLinux http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ it is a program that allows you to install and run any program you want in any wineprefix you want. It has some scripts done already for some applications / games if you are lucky. You can have...

what exactly do you want to do? And why dont you use the transmission bit-torrent downloader available for linux. It is very similar to utorrent. On my machine it uses only 6mb memory.

thanks for the tip, not exactly what I was looking for but helps. I wanted full screen for my game so a virtual desktop doenst help. However the game it self can play at my desktops resolution, only in the multiplayer chat rooms it is low resolution. Hence ur tip does hep in this game! btw slightly ...

i agree with DaVince... first try to get an alternative linux native program and see if you like it - they are so many around you will not miss most of ur windows applications. nless it has a sentimental value...

... Microsoft funded the wine project? it is within their interests as far as I can see, given that they are trying to sell their programs (office, development tools, licences, etc) to every user available? Mac OS, linux, who know what next.... If you cant beat them (them as in Linux) , join them .....

hi all

i can alt tab if other windows are open but the resolution stays at the game resolution (some ridiculous low res since it is old game. Any way to fix this? I am on ubuntu 8.04, gnome

EDIT: with the following i thought i was on a home run but my sound lags. hi all, wine sound works with me as follows: fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 (gnome), added any pulseaudio plugins i could find run playonlinux so i could wineprefix any game with individual wine versions setup esd as audio drive...

i will not be able to help you since I am a new to wine but u have to provide more information to the gurus. Make sure 1. you have checked the AppDB in case this is a known bug and/or a solution is present 2. you provide information such as what linux distribution you have which version of wine you ...

it is back!

interesting OS, I will have a look at it, never knew it existed!

ok i managed to run the git wine from inside the cd rom directory with following command /home/(user)/wine-git/.wine splash.exe and splash works. now I can go back to doing a regression test at last amazing how vitamin managed to give me the answer by asking a question! thanks vitamin EDIT: needless...

i go into wine-git directory, then i run from terminal: ./wine /media/cdrom0/splash.exe however I just found out that the regular wine does exactly the same thing if the splash.exe is run from another directory. hmmm I wonder why didnt i see it b4, cannot remember now, I thought I did try both wine ...

i downloaded the game from http://www.positech.co.uk/kudos2/demo.html and run it with ubuntu wine 1.1.6 and it runs all ok. I have nvidia 8000 series laptop, new envy drivers. I played it on virtual desktop 1024 x 768, and I did nto experience any screen problems. Only thing was it crashed much late...

why would git not provide all patches available? isnt it meant to be the basis of the public available packages? i think my first post is too long and confusing, this is a summary: all versions of the packages (ubuntu) install the game properly (but then when playing I get the bug 15553) all version...

i am trying to do a regression test on a game (15553 bug) but i get some strange error: the cd has an exec called splash. when this runs you get a splash screen from where you can choose to install or do other things. This does not work at all (a windows dialog pops saying it cannot find the backgro...
