Question about winecfg/pixel shader for some games

Post by colbert »

I currently have CNC3, GTA:SA, COD4 working real good in Wine (amazing AppDB pages!!) but what I'm wondering is: For GTA:SA I have to go to winecfg > Graphics > uncheck Allow Pixel Shader to make the game playable. Yet, if I want to run COD4 or CNC3, neither will start without the pixel shader option checked.

Instead of having to go into winecfg everytime to change it in between games (and I don't play often so I typically forget if it's on/off) is there some command that can be issued or a script made??

Thanks :)

Well you can sort of do that with regedit. But the right way to do it is to:
1. Add your application on the first tab (just browse to the game's exe file)
2. Select it
3. Go to the graphics tab and set whatever special settings you want for it.

Oh wow, that's exactly what I was looking for! I didn't even read the little description at the top of the tab in winecfg, yeesh stupid me. That is perfect, thanks!! :)
