    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Guide

    Don't forget to disable the Steam In-Game community overlay. It can crash Skyrim and DLC's

    NVIDIA 334.16 Beta is out

    I am totally comfortable trying it out. My Mint system is mostly for testing. I know how to backup my save games anyways. So worst case I have to re-install Mint 16. I would love a short tutorial and I'll stickie it here in the forum. Can you do screenshots for the newer users too?

    NVIDIA 334.16 Beta is out

    That is a good question, I have no idea. I have a feeling you would get an error at boot and there would be no fallback. For most users that won't work. They will have no idea what to do. In the past I have manually installed drivers in Fedora and it was a pain. Took a few tries, but...

    Might and Magic 9 Guide

    I'm pretty sure I have this one and have played it. The graphics are impressive for its time, but I never realized it was released early and unfinished. I got frustrated by the difficulty. My characters died so quickly and all I could do it reload and then die again.

    Raspberry Pi Model B

    Awesome, I'm sure you remember my story... Pre-Ordered one and several months went by and the order got mixed up. Never got it and was never charged for it. So I still don't have one. I love the idea and I'm sure the Ubuntu ARM distro has come a long way. So hopefully there are some gaming...

    NVIDIA 334.16 Beta is out

    Thanks for the update on Nvidia drivers and the link. Sadly Mint doesn't do a very good job at helping me install newer version of Nvidia drivers. Everywhere I read its suggested to Not install manually, but use PPA and software isntaller. But the Mint software installer won't install anything...

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    Welcome to the forums. I updated the whole guide recently and found that Wine 1.7.10 doesn't require IE8 any longer for the Arc client. So its a good idea to do the installs from Arc instead of the old installer.

    Helldorado Guide

    Helldorado is a squad-based tactical strategy game with attention to detail. You can manage one character at a time or the whole group as they sneak about the enemies playground and take them out. There won't be any run-n-gun here... take your time, save often, plan your strategy to every...

    [How to] Fix WINE underrun occurred problem

    Thats perfect. Oh, I didn't know killall pulseaudio would be quicker. I posted your tutorial on the PlayOnLinux forum as well. I've seen many posts about this exact problem.

    [How to] Fix WINE underrun occurred problem

    Very nice guide! Thank you for taking the time to help us Linux gamers with this "buffer underrun" problem. It was driving me nuts and I couldn't find anything usefull to help me. someone on the PlayOnLinux forum showed me a similar trick. I actually did the changes in my user folder so it...

    Alsa & Pulseaudio in Mint 16

    I'll continue checking for those buffer errors. They actually cause the game frame rates to stutter. Totally annoying. I even noticed it in another game. I hope Mint 17 will have this fixed.

    Alsa & Pulseaudio in Mint 16

    Guess what!!! It worked! I didn't have to back up anything because I did the changes on a user basis not system wide. So the changes only apply to my user account. Ironically I don't even know if I did it right, but Two Worlds runs much smoother and no "buffer underrun" errors. Who knew?

    Tomb Raider 2013 $9

    ok, that kinda makes sense. I will keep 1.5.19 in mind when I start testing. I'm sure you have noticed that all of our guides are manual installations. I have noticed that the most of the PlayOnLinux scripts are not updated and don't work. If there are any changes to the game or DRM client...

    A new linux user!

    Looks like they have tested RoBlox in Wine 1.7 But they didn't describe any necessary libraries... Like d3dx9, dotnet, vcrun, etc.

    Guild Wars 2 players?

    Welcome to the forum! Glad to see some more Linux gamers running windows games. That is what we are all about. Are you using PlayOnLinux? What version of Wine and what libraries do you need?
