    Attempting to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Great, so you got the ia32-libs installed? I wasn't sure if it was going to work in Ubuntu 14.04 So you don't have any sound at all? I'll have to do some research and see if anyone else is having this problem. Do you know what audio chip you are using?

    Attempting to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    sounds like there might be some bugs with missing 32-bit libraries. Are you using Ubuntu 14.04? Installing Synaptic and ia32-libs might help (source): Install Synaptic from terminal window sudo apt-get install synaptic Launch synaptic and goto “settings > Repositories” click “other software >...

    Attempting to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Awesome! Glad its working now. Yes, you can play full screen. If you set Wine configuration to use a "virtual desktop" then all you have to do is set the resolution in Skyrim launcher to match your Linux desktop. That is, if your video chip/card can handle it. So if your Ubuntu desktop is...

    Borderlands Pre Sequel (win)

    I'm sure everybody already knows, but I just found out about Borderlands Pre Sequel Borderlands Pre Sequel They really are milking the Borderlands franchise! For good reason... its got to be one of the longest, most loot, most weapons, most enemies and most epic storylines in the Sci Fi genre...

    Mint 17 Upgrade

    Over the weekend I upgraded my Mint 16 to Mint 17! It worked perfectly, but required a bit of searching to figure out how.... Sadly Mint's website didn't give any clear instruction on how to do an upgrade. Why is that? After some research I found that all the upgrades for Mint are done the...

    Attempting to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Sure is! This error could be a problem. Did I already ask you if you have proprietary drivers installed? What video chip/card are you using? - Intel HD Graphics - Nvidia - AMD Also did you install the 32-bit libraries for your distro? They can be called ia32-libs or multi-arch.

    Excubitor

    I downloaded the alpha demo of Excubitor and was pretty impressed. Its a fairly simple arcade shooter, but has an open map and tower defense. The Alpha consists of a large arena where your base is at one corner and the enemies will advance from several directions. You can build turrets to fend...

    Valve In-Home Game Streaming

    Well, you are a programmer and Linux enthusiast, so I wouldn't expect you to use Streaming instead of Wine. But I wonder if this is a lame attempt to offer something low-quality for gamers who don't know any better?

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    Thanks for the compliment! I just updated to Mint 17 as well. I do have a few questions... Do you have the video drivers installed? - Intel HD Graphics - Nvidia GeForce - AMD Do you have the 32-bit libraries installed? Unfortunately Ubuntu 13 didn't include a single package for installing...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Manual Test

    That figures :( Yes, Pulseaudio and Wine/PlayOnLinux has had a lot of problems with multiple-streams. If the debug output is giving you a buffer error, then you have a few solutions: Wine's solution Allen's Solution Obviously these are just "band-aids" to the real problem, but it might help...

    sorry I think its ia32-libs With Linux there is always a possibility of breaking progress... specially if you "breaking new ground"

    Valve In-Home Game Streaming

    I'm wondering if it is a good work-around to avoid Wine? A windows gamer could try out Linux on their laptop and stream their PC games directly from windows instead of messing with Wine and PlayOnLinux. The game is already installed and runs fine in windows, so why install again and...

    Valve In-Home Game Streaming

    Agreed, it kinda seems like a quick-n-easy way to play games anywhere instead of solving the real problem: Games need to run in all OS's

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Manual Test

    When you originally installed SWTOR did you install it in a 32-bit virtual drive? Did you install the 32-bit libraries: ia-32libs You might want to try other versions of Wine just to be sure there isn't a better one for this game. Sounds like it is running, but there are bugs.... The...
