Hi !

I use Wine version 1.5.6, and when I launch «SIMS3», the game is started.

But, while lading new game, the game freeze and I can't continue. The game is rated as Platinium.

I use KDE 4.8.95 and openSUSE 12.1. My «uname -a» :

Linux linux-7iug.site 3.1.10-1.16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 27 05:21:40 UTC 2012 (d016078) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My Graphic cards : «Intel GMA 45» and my Computer : Asus K50 lj.

Edit : The game freeze at this time :

Thank you

(Sorry for mystakes my English is not very well)

You can try upgrading Wine to the current development release (1.5.9), but the problem is probably due to your graphics card and driver. Those platinum ratings are for Nvidia cards with the proprietary driver. Intel's Linux drivers aren't adequate for running 3D games in Wine.
