Get games that are built into Windows working? Purble place?

Post by linlinxz »

No matter what version of Wine I use, I can't get any games that are built into Windows working like Purble Place for example. All I get is the application encountered a problem. Is there a fix for this?

I checked all these solutions under this forum:

But none of these helped.

In theory yes, but there's some infrastructure missing to actually run these programs, I think.

I sent in two patches that address some of the issues, but it still has more issues left.

I recently tried all the Microsoft Windows games like:
- Chess
- Solitaire
- Spider Solitaire
- Hearts
- Purble Place
- Minesweeper

Most of them work offline, but have some font issues and crash upon exiting.

I tested with Wine 3.15 with the Microsoft Games for Windows 10 here:

But it really seems like something is missing...
