Wine and Random Crashing

Post by SolisX »

Hello Everyone,

I was just on Guild Wars on wine-1.4rc6. I got 2 random crashes in a 6 hour period. And
i seam to get random crashing of different games just out of the blue. I have looked online
about this issue. I heard that you need the following in the Direct3D key

"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"Multisampling"="enabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="auto"
"StrictDrawOrdering"="enabled"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"

Does anyone know if this is true? I thought this was all default stuff. And if this
is true why is it not in the registry by default?

http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys provides information.
Note that if you change setting for a specific game, you should rather
install it on a separate wineprefix, since that could have adverse
consequences on other games.
