Windows licenses are very restrictive to my knowledge, but regular retail licenses should be perfectly legal to use as long as it is not installed on two systems (or VM's) at once.

I don't know how Netrunner is set up, but this just looks like a simple version issue. In Arch, lib32-libgudev is not in the repositories, but it is available in the AUR. If Netrunner does not use it's own repos, then you have lib32-libgudev installed from the AUR, in which case you will need to...

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy is a first person action game with rpg elements. The character development of the game is very complex and might take a while to figure out. There are also several other gameplay mechanics in addition to combat, such as hacking and PSI abilities. It is the ability to...

This game is awesome, I played through it when it was newly released. I really enjoyed the stealth elements in this game.

The Wine version used for our guides is generally one of the newest versions available at the time of writing the guide. So very often, using a newer wine version will work quite well. And yes, it is generally just trial and error to get things working, and a bit of googling too to see if anyone...

That is correct, DX10 and DX11 games can't be run in Wine yet, but it is very good news that they have started DX11 implementation. It is probably quite some time until such games can be played, but at least the Wine devs have started the implementation.

This is a fast paced game where two opposing teams control racing cars to hit a ball into each others goals. The cars can make jumps and even dodge in order to hit the ball. And with the use of the rocket engines, the cars can even fly for a very brief amount of time. All this together makes for...

I have not had the time to test any game performance yet, but I will do that this weekend or the coming week. I did notice the fan going quite loudly when I was compiling the kernel with specialized patches for the surface pro 3, and it got very hot too. I've never really used tablet computes...

Seeing that this guide still works I will wait with updating it for now. I still suggest using a much newer wine version as it will give greater performance. I intend to update this guide when the Wine devs release a new stable Wine version as the stable wine version does not get feature...

My recent trip made it clear that I need to have a tiny computer (much smaller than my gaming laptop) I can bring with me, but still powerful enough for some simple games. I also want to be able to keep up my whatever programming learning project I might be working on, so I really want a...

If you know what kind of database runs on the server then it might not be too hard to figure out what kind of open source software can connect to it. Chances are that a lot of open source software is able to connect to the server, but it will probably require more work to make it interact with...

I should probably have mentioned it already, but never just copy and paste terminal commands from online without knowing exactly what they do. This case is not dangerous, but just copying those commands will naturally enough not work as they were intended for use with regular Wine, not with...

It is your GPU that is the cause of the black battle.net launcher you are seeing. Do keep in mind that the minimum requirements of this game specifies a dedicated GPU, so don't expect good performance even on low settings. As for getting past the black screen issue, you may have a read on this...

You should still run the game by using the debug option, because the regular log does not include all debugging information.

Run with debug and post the output, it might contain useful information that could help us pinpoint the cause of the problem. Have you had this game working previously?

I have experienced something similar myself a few times with some games, but not often. You could try to Alt-Tab our of the game, then select the game window with your mouse. Or you could try to just click your mouse within the game window to see if that help to bring keyboard focus back. If...

You can use 64-bit if you want to, and all my test has proven to work without any issues. I still recommend to use 32-bit since it is still the official recommendation from Wine developers themselves as some things might not work perfectly in 64-bit wine. I can run Starcraft 2 (and all games...

Back from vacation, I just wanted to clarify these steps with an explanation at what is being done. There is a chance someone else with the same laptop want to get things working and comes across this topic, and I just want to make sure that anyone reading this knows what they are doing. Nobody...

Glad to see another convert! I do admittedly still use a windows laptop, but only because I am required by online studies I am taking at the moment, but apart from that I only use Linux for all my needs.

Back from vacation here, I will look into updating this guide in the coming days. Hopefully it does not take much to get things working again. Until I get this guide updated: First tip, as always, is to use a newer wine version.
