Start by figuring out what distro you're using. "Linux 10" is meaningless. Then check your distro's support forum for basics on how to use it. If you don't know how to use your OS you're not going to understand the directions for using Wine.

For basic information on how to use Wine, check the FAQ: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ

For specific howtos for your app, check the AppDB; http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=9923

the thing is i dont want to learn tons of commands ill never use again in my entire life just to play this damn game....

my version of linux is 10.04 and wine version im using is 1.2.3.
Test here ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=65141 ) Also says that 1.3.2 often freezes the game. also it doesnt explain how to make the game run in total.

And yet you still haven't told me your DISTRO, though I can guess from the numbering that it's Ubuntu or one of its flavors. If you are going to stay with Linux, you are going to have to learn the basics, not just for Wine, but to get anything done at all. Basic knowledge of how to use your operating system is assumed here.

Your Wine version is old; upgrade to the latest development release.

The AppDB page I linked to has a detailed HOWTO; scroll down to see it.

to play perfect world, I recommend that you stay in the stable version of Wine (1.2.3). development versions, make the game run slower this game.
I tested it on my own pc.
