Problem With Wine Config Window

Post by thescotty »

i am a brand new ubuntu linux user (just got it yesterday) and i installed wine because i wanted to play guild wars, when i open guild wars it just loads the loading window, then closes and does not do anything else, so i decided to try to go check on the settings to see if i could do anything... when i opened them the window was huge, it was at least 5x as big as the screen! is there any way to fix this?

Looks like this should more or less work without too much issues. Is
GLX working? Have you tried the troubleshooting instructions in the
AppDB?
