Wine- General Lag when starting up software?

Post by Setro2 »

Hello,
I've had this probem with many, many games and software, the problem is that whenever I try to start up a game or software, it either starts up the game and the game lags a LOT, or it just doesn't start the game at all, and my mouse cursor stays at the busy icon for a while, before turning back into a mouse, and my entire pc freezes.
Basically what I want is some setting changes I can use to fix this.
All help is appreciated. Thanks! :D

Wine is a user-level process and cannot freeze your entire pc, but it can expose problems elsewhere that can do that. Graphics drivers are often the problem; try reinstalling them. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-7f5c965 ... 7eadaff31a
