I have an in person interview tomorrow and Wednesday. With two different companies!

My suggestion on the PlayOnLinux website was to install corefonts d3dx9 dotnet35 dotnet40 gdiplus tahoma But before you do that, you need to run this command in Terminal: echo "0"|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope Manual installation: Launch PlayOnLinux Click Install Click “Install...

When you try re-installing d3dx9 and dotnet are you creating a new virtual drive each time? This is a good idea because there can be conflict with existing files or just something got messed up. Just make sure each time you install the game to create a new virtual drive. I'm really surprised...

Oooo, I didn't realize they would provide an upgrade process from 17.3 to 18 I still might do an install from-scratch just to clean up the hard drive. Just like Windows, Linux can leave a lot of lingering files around... By the way, sometimes the talent we have is just being patient enough to...

I was doing some research and found this post on GOG: https://www.gog.com/forum/underrail/linux They suggest installing dotnet45 as well. But there are some bugs with "black screen" when saving and loading. By the way, if you are doing a manual installation, try following the steps from one of...

Yeah, why not just stream it from your Windows box using Steam? I definitely don't have fast enough internet to stream high definition gaming and can't afford the service. In many ways, Linux gaming has been the poor-man's attempt at high quality gaming for less. Almost all of my guides are...

I was able to run a few XNA games in PlayOnLinux with Direct X 9. Like Magicka. I'm concerned about your PlayOnLinux not installing d3dx9. I have never had a problem installing it or any of the d3dx... libraries. So this could still be a driver issue. Its very hard to tell since you can...

Good points Daniel. Steam is one of those monsters that can fill a gap for just about anyone. It really comes down to the game you play. I love playing: Action RPGs Puzzle Games Action 3rd Person MMO RPGs FPS Steam has plenty of these categories for me. The Windows games mostly work in...

Thanks! I have a 2nd phone interview today with an IT manager. This is a good sign...

Thank you MrDeathJr28

Nope, never purchased it. So I won't be testing it. I gave up on the first Dark Souls. Waaay too hard. Sad because I'm a pretty patient gamer, but it really tested my patience and won.

Updated the guide with the GOG version, new screenshots and new stable Wine version.

Jet Set Radio is one of the first skating sports games available back in 2000. Pull tricks, tag walls/vehicles, avoid the police and learn new moves. Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Jet Set Radio in Linux with PlayOnLinux. Note: This guide applies to...

Yeah! I love Mint so much that I'm using it at work as well. I hardly touch Windows until I have to. Linux will always be a fun experience

Actually it is super duper easy: Download .iso insert flash drive Right-click .iso Select "Make bootable USB Stick" Select flash drive on right side Begin Thats it. Mint will automatically format the flash drive, make it bootable and install the live disk Linux on it. Mint makes everything...

Awesome Daniel~! I'm glad you gave 18 a whirl... I have it on my flash drive and plan to upgrade soon. I have too many "save games" i need to backup in order for it to run happily. Not sure why the first DVD was giving you a headache? Maybe something corrupted during the burn? I stick with my...

Hey, that was my post on the PlayOnLinux forum :p I help out there as well! Of course, I have a few questions... Can you play any other games in PlayOnLinux? I have an old Acer C710 Chromebook (ChrUbuntu 12.04) with Intel HD 2000 chipset and I can install PlayOnLinux just fine and play a few...

Yeah, and Mint 18 (Sarah) has just been released http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/mint-18-sarah.1818/

Who is planning on trying out Mint 18 Sarah? I'm thinking about installing from scratch over my SSD Mint 17.3 to get a new fresh start. I initially installed Mint 17 and then upgraded to 17.2 and 17.3 I have a feeling Mint 18 is based on Ubuntu 16, but is it a Long Term Stable?

This is some of the trial-n-error pain to get a game running. You could try installing a test virtual drive as 32-bit and install Windows media player 9 But you will need to know where the DLL's install and maybe where the folder installs as well. Not to mention the registry. I don't know if...
