cant play after updating to ubunto 11.10
I recently updated my Ubunto from 11.04 to 11.10 and I can no longer play windows games via wine.
However I can still launch and use Steam, but I cant play any of the games there, Steam shows the "preparing to launch..." message but the game never launches.
Also with World of Warcraft the game launcher opens up, I can see the news and all, but when I push the play button the launcher closes and the game doesn't show up.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue on using wine on ubunto after updating and if they found a work around it

You should probably try using XFCE or gnome-classic (by installing
gnome-classic-fallback IIRC)

Did you reinstall your video driver after updating your OS?I tried gnome classic and it made everything worse, now I cant even play WoW using the wow.exe and the launcher doesn't launches.
Steam still opens but cant play anything there.
Re: cant play after updating to ubunto 11.10
Please check what gcc version Wine compiled with for your distro. If it' gcc 4.6 then it's the known problem with gcc4.6. Add -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to CC options then recompile Wine manually.madmaxfh wrote:I recently updated my Ubunto from 11.04 to 11.10 and I can no longer play windows games via wine.
