Regarding a game on Fedora 20

Post by aniket.lamba »

I've been running Fedora 20 for quite a long time but recently I discovered that any of the Windows game was denying to run on my PC.I installed Counterstrike 1.6 Adrenaline on my system and when I run the exe file,the black screen pops up and then shuts down the game.Also I installed the correct wine version,still the same.I switched to Nvidia drivers to see if it might solve the problem but then again I faced the same issue.Please help me out of this.

Regards,

Fedora's Wine packages are built from wine-staging, which contains over 600 unsupported patches. If you are using the Fedora Wine package, you need to retest in plain Wine, which you will have to build yourself.

Generally you want to try the latest development release. However, in the case of 1.7.47 there is a regression that potentially will affect many apps, so if you build that version, either use the patch in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38895, which fixes it, or revert the offending commit.

But before you go to the trouble of building plain Wine, if you haven't tried simply reinstalling your game to a clean wineprefix, you should.
