Ugly screen in City of Heroes and mouse problem

Post by upchucky »

is there a tweak for coh for a nasty looking screen? my mouse and all my power buttons appear as a big square.
the screen appears like it is missing every second line of graphics.

I am running ubuntu 7.10, on a dell xps genII
2 gig intel processor
2 gig ram
nvidia 6800 ultra 256m on board
glx framerate is average 12,000fps

vid is set to 1024x768

wine ver is 0.9.46

I cant use wine ver 1 unless i upgrade to ubuntu 8.
I cant upgrade ubuntu until the new version is received in the mail Via my linux magazine subscription, (cant download it because of limits by my ISP) and even then i usually wait until the bugs are found and fixed first.

This is really old version. Upgrade to wine-1.0. If you can't find prepackaged binaries - compile Wine yourself.

Hello Vitamin,

Did I miss something in the wine instructions? it says that Wine Ver 1 does not work on ubuntu 7.10

that was why I said I can't upgrade wine unless i upgrade Ubuntu first.

if there is a way to make wine ver 1 work with ubuntu 7.10 then I'm willing and able.

My ISP restricts me to 350meg downloads so I must wait for versions of Ubuntu to be mailed to me, that is why I can't upgrade Ubuntu to use wine Ver 1. yet.
