Very true, but WineHQ usually has the most active community. If its not in WineHQs, then I google the game. If I can't find it in a google search, then I try to do the trial-n-error myself. Its happend a few times with indie games.

I always start with manual installation for any game. First I'll check WineHQs to see if the game even works with Wine. Then I'll take note of the necessary libraries. This is usually enough to get a game running. Two games that refused to run 6 months ago now run just fine: Assassin's Creed &...

I have completely revised the entire Neverwinter guide for the Arc client installer. Look it over. Everything should work nicely now.

Crysis is one of those games everybody needs to play at least once. The quality and eye-candy marked a whole new level of realism and benchmarking for computer hardware. Not to mention some really awesome aliens and the first time any game used no gravity. Crysis actually runs pretty well in...

I have a feeling you can back up the game files if you mess up Origin. Just look in the Program Files in the Origin virtual drive. Then you should be able to re-install Origin, copy the game files back and continue the download. In theory of course.... it works for Steam. Depending on what...

Yeah, you have to close Origin after its installed so PlayOnLinux can create the shortcut. Thats all. I installed Origin today on my Chromebook and it was pretty easy. I used the Wine 1.5.28-Origin and it installed with only IE8 and vcrun2010. I added core fonts too. Now to download...

Honestly I'm more of a cooperative PvE type of gaming. I hate getting cut-down by the 13 yr olds that play games all day long. Kinda ruins the whole fun. So I like playing along-side friends killing the minions and bosses.

I have the Retail version of Skyrim, but I have seen several mods on Moddb.com I'm more interested in the the Vanilla game for now. One day I'll actually install it and try it out. Maybe first in Linux

I've been watching that game in development for a few years now... looks really cool. Maybe they will eventually decide on a Linux port... Man, I havn't played Sims since the first one

no problem, I actually back up the Wine folder and the Resources folder.

If you want to see some of the most glorious in-game screenshots, check out: Deadendthrills.com Almost all of my Walpapers are from this site. Shots of games in a way you will never see yourself because they have a extra tweaks and plugins to make games even more beautiful.

Absolutely! I'm going to keep messing around and see if I can get the shadows to come back. I have seen other games with shadow issues, so its not uncommon. When you see my new screenshots, everything still looks quite beautiful! Games like these where really require PlayOnLinux. They compile...

No way, cool, those guys are on top of those new games! I'm downloading Mirrors Edge now. Never played it before and have always heard good things. I've tried Battlefield 3 in the past, but had a lot of problems just getting Origin to work. That is... Origin the Steam rip-off.

Thats awesome! How do you know Firefox is actually launching? I have tried it in the past and even with Firefox set as the default browser Wine still tries to launch IE

If I got Star Trek to work with Arc I'll definitely get Neverwinter to work. This weekend I'll try it and update my guide.

Backing up is a sinch! Backing up games in PlayOnLinux Go To: /home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix Copy any wineprefix to another location (external drive, flash drive, hard drive) Also copy appropriate shortcut from: /home/username/.PlayOnLinux/shortcuts Restoring backed up games...

I installed the Crysis update patch and it doesn't seem to make any difference so far. Played for another hour and didn't have any problems. I'm marking Crysis as a success and have started a Guide.

Yeah, I'll let Gizmo know that you are having problems editing your initial post. Check out my success list: GameCave I'm experiencing a 90% rate of success! Of course inspired me to start doing these guides. I want everyone to know that games really ARE running in Linux and just requires a...

I just purchased all of these games for $6.00 on Humble Bundle Dead Space Burn Out Paradise Crysis 2 Mirror's Edge Dead Space 3 Medal of Honor Battlefield 3 The Sims 3 Time to start downloading and testing in Linux... hee hee :D

Man, my list of things Linux can do that Windows can't is growing every day. The main reason most people stick with Windows is familiarity and compatibility. Thats about it. Once people start seeing that Linux has a lot of compatibility, they will only have to get over the old XP interfaces...
