I'm trying to wrap my head around something.. odd.
First I install a certain old 3d game in Wine (1.4.1). on Linux Mint Nadia. Game works. Then I remove Mint and install Xubuntu 13.04 + the same version of Wine on the same PC. Same game suddenly decides to not work. Mint and Ubuntu were both pretty much out-of-the-box when I installed Wine.
The key is that the only thing different is the Linux distro., but I just can't seem to figure out how that could possibly effect identical installations of Wine. Does anyone know where to start looking?
Same game, same Wine version, different distros.
Re: Same game, same Wine version, different distros.
Different kernel, drivers, libraries...there are lots of things that could affect Wine.
Were you trying to use the old wineprefix in the new distro? If so, try reinstalling to a clean wineprefix in the new distro.

That did the trick! Can't thank you enough, I've been trying to crack this one for six hours straight.dimesio wrote:Different kernel, drivers, libraries...there are lots of things that could affect Wine.
