Switch for pixel shader?

Post by chris_c »

I haven't owned windoze in a few years and decided to dust off a few old favourite games namely Oblivion and GTA San Andreas

For Oblivion I need to turn on pixel shaders in the winecfg app

When playing GTA I have to turn the pixel shaders off because it runs very slowly

Is there something I could run in a script before executing each game (in the same script) which would either turn pixel shaders on or off

You could use a different wineprefix for each game (example http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f2f5f3b ... 15657ad552 ).

You can do it in winecfg. Simply add the games to the Applications tab, select one, then go to the Graphics tab, set the options you want for it, and click Apply. Repeat for the other game.
