I was just tinkering around with the idea of how to easily check if there could be issues with installed packages on my system. One simple way would be to check if any installed packages are missing files. Files missing on your system could of course come from a number of reasons, but knowing if...

I also noticed that sometimes when starting it up, it seems to not do anything. What you can try is simply to exit the battle.net client and let wine exit completely. And then try running it again. This seems to be random. Most of the time things work immediately for me, but there are...

The problem with wine setting up a virtual drive when you try to edit that file is probably caused by preferred applications being messed up a little by PlayOnLinux. I have experienced the same with some wine versions from PlayOnLinux, and I don't know what is causing it. If you right click the...

I see assassin's creed available for 3.99 euro right now. http://www.gog.com/game/assassins_creed_directors_cut Edit: It looks like almost all their games are discounted. Just check the store page for whatever game you are interested in to see if you can get it cheaper now. But the daily deals...

Yes that is required, because otherwise there is no graphical drivers installed. I'd suggest installing by following the beginners guide instead of the more basic install guide, mainly because it reminds you of a lot of stuff you might forget yourself. I also really like the way they handle...

Hey, I've been very quiet lately but I've had more than enough to deal with. Now I will likely have more time to be more active here again. Interesting to hear you giving Arch a try. Arch requires a bit of maintenance, but as long as it's kept up to date and you always watch the output during...

Being just a regular user, I personally quite like systemd. I find it easy to both use and manipulate. Also regarding journalctl, you either need root privileges, or your user can be part of the systemd-journal group. The systemd-journal group only have read access to the journal, so for a...

Those ALSA errors might be related to missing 32-bit libraries. Are you able to run any other games?

You're the DM, right? Or technically GM if you use Pathfinder rules. I've never been a player, only been GM for both DnD and Deathwatch (Warhammer 40k game where the players are Space Marines). However I've never made my own custom campaign world, for DnD I've always used 3rd edition Forgotten...

Work is as usual taking a lot of my time, still quite a bit of overtime. And first years exam for my online studies started yesterday. I have two weeks on this exam so I will definitely still be quite busy the weeks ahead. I am also into tabletop games. Space Hulk is my favorite board game, but...

I have not had the time to look any more into this lately. For all I know it could be a problem running Thief 2 with the latest version of wine, or something else in your config. My best suggestion at this point is to make sure you have wine configured exactly as my guide says. Install directx...

I got an email notification a few minutes after clicking, and the game just appears in your game library.

I got the free one, and also purchased Warband from GOG. Thanks for the heads up.

Actually, I have already done that for myself. I have also edited the PlayOnLinux shortcut where I need to use it (just one game really) to make this change automatically when I start the shortcut, and revert it when done.

Not such a bad idea. It really is not the best solution, but it is a quick and easy solution to ensure that ALSA is used instead of PulseAudio, and it is easily reverted (just rename or move the file).

If you tell me how you've set up Wine then it would be easier to help. Have you set it up like indicated by my guide, or are you using a completely different setup? You are going to have to provide some more information on what you have done so it becomes possible for us to figure out what could...

It's not a script, this is just a configuration file for ALSA.

Just to state it again, the .asoundrc workaround will prevent any other applications from playing any sound on the specified sound card while it is in use, only one audio source at a time. So if you decide to use this method, you should revert it once you are done playing so that pulseaudio can...

If you are having problems finding out how to make the example .asoundrc output to your correct sound output, post the output you get from cat /proc/asound/cards And I can write you up a simple .asoundrc for this particular purpose. But if you can get it working with a 64-bit virtual drive...

You're on Arch, you may want to try using only 64-bit virtual drives as long as you are using PulseAudio. The workaround you linked to is just a quick and dirty workaround, and it also means that only one application can use the soundcard at a time. For a better setup you may want to check the...
