Wine Question.

So I'm wondering is there a way to safe regedit keys values for one specific game some way? Like for example I don't use GLSL for Counter-Strike but I do for Left 4 Dead, is there a way to make it so that only Left 4 Dead enables that key while Counter-Strikes has it disabled.

Use separate WiNEPREFIX'es.

$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-cs
$ wine counter_strike_setup.exe
$ wine regedit
$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-lfd
$ wine left_for_dead.exe
$ wine regedit
etc.

Yes, most configuration, including UseGLSL can be set per app not globally.

To set configuration per app you need write all configuration under "AppDefaults/app.exe" key. You can easily create it from first tab of the winecfg.

Alright, I'll give it a shot thanks for the advice.

[Snake450]

it said it could not load wine-gecko and it could not find the module.

I'm looking at the wiki page too btw I keep seeing setup.exe, I will have to reinstall the games?

Try

Code: Select all

wine iexplore http://winehq.org

If that doesn't work, use:

Code: Select all

winetricks gecko

For new WINEPREFIX - yes, it's like a totally separate installation.

Btw you wouldn't know anything about Sound Acceleration would you? I can't get any sound from F.E.A.R. 2. I've tried puting it on winXP and Vista none work but it keeps saying I have Sound Acceleration error. Yes I've gone to winecfg > Audio > Full doesn't work either Driver Emulation does nothing too,

If you can find the registry entries that the game uses, you can export them from regedit and then import them in the new wineprefix (again with regedit).Make sure you select 9x/nt4 when selecting the format for your exported .reg file.
Of course, this requires that you install your games outside your .wine dir, which is what I tend to do anyway.

Alright thanks.
