Dude you are the Retro Guru! Thank you for posting these guides for old Heroes games.

Wow, I've never heard of Orbiter, but I'm not surprised projects like this exist. I have to say... I'm not very "big" on simulators because they require a lot of patience and have high learning curves. I used to love racing simulators and would run practice laps for hours. I practiced so much...

I want to try out this Indie game called Unvanquished Their beta is available and they have posted directions on installing it with their distribution versions. http://www.unvanquished.net/download Its kind of confusing for Mint users. Can someone help add the repositories and then download...

Exactly, I really really need them to add this patch to the stable Wine 1.6 That would make life much easier

Yeah post it if you find anything suspect. Remember to post it in the PlayonLinux forum so we don't clutter this post. Yeah, I originally tried Battlefield 1942 about 6 years ago on my Fedora 8 server. I wasn't impressed at all. The installation went perfectly, but the game had way to many...

Interesting, I've never had a problems with game loading after clicking "Play" Very strange. Have you checked the debug? Of course I'm running the retail version, so it didn't have this problem. Are you using a virtual desktop? I don't think the mouse setting helps much unless you are using a...

Oh, I didn't realize these guys also created Homefront. When you say "start" do you mean loading the game or loading a level? I almost never have the mouselook problem anymore since Wine has that Display checkbox about capturing mouse in fullscreen windows. The only times I do is when I...

I see you found a work-around for now... As for my Crysis 2 guide... it only crashes. So I have it pending in the moderation queue. Oh well... nothing I can do about it for now. I will test the rest of my Steam guides with Wine 1.7.8 after Christmas because I have several days off.

Man that is so strange. Can you at least run windowed with the same resolution as your desktop? So it appears to be full-screen?

Great, everything ran ok?

it was worth a try. You could also try that Linux package, but who knows if it will help either.

Yeah, and that could be a total waste of time too... The first thing I always do is try the game with another version of Wine. Let me know what happens

That is a lot of d3d errors: fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8. I'm also seeing a few dbghelp and SECUR32 errors, but normally those would stop the game from launching. Since your pop-up error has something to do with directx, maybe you could play with the PlayOnLinux...

Can you remove the .txt file and just copy/paste here in the forum? I don't want readers to worry about downloading files and security risks. Thanks Not sure about lib32-osmesa package because it was running fine before correct?

Are you using the new Wine 1.7.8? I would need to see a debug output to see what the errors are. Can you post the debug in PlayOnLinux forum here

That is not cool. I'm telling you, I have emailed PlayOnLinux developers to compile special versions of Wine and they have done it for me. Kinda sucks that we are forced to do this, but if its the only way to get a game running, then we have no choice. Otherwise, you can wait until the Steam fix...

That sucks, I have no idea why the Wine mouse override doesn't work. I stopped using that POL mouse override because of that exact reason. I've seen it force the mouse to stick right in the middle of the screen for some games. But you successfully tested in Wine 1.5.3 right? I wonder if the...

Wine 1.7.8 works for Steam Launches and logs in just fine. But now my Crysis 2 doesn't work and the guide is broken. I have to use a patched version of Wine for Crysis 2 to run and now it doesn't run at all. I'm concerned about the rest of my Steam guides, so I will start testing those too and...

The beta cost money though... I would wait until they have a legitimate release. I wish they had a demo

I really like this fantasy world in the game Wander! Its still in Beta, but there is a Linux port and it looks beautiful! Wander Website Kinda reminds me of The Chronicles of Narnia.
