    OK! I installed fresh 32-bit installation from repack and installed a LOT of possible packages on it. Let's see if I can run it! BTW, one of previous problems was that it is fulscreen- anyone knows how to configure video settings without running game?

    Many games have a config (.cfg) file in the game folders where you can manually set the resolution and display options.
    I don't know if Resident Evil does or not, but you could poke around the game folders and look for it.

    I found these tips:
    Just replace the resolution to match your Linux desktop
    Other Display settings are in this file as well.
    You should be able to find this config in your /home folder
    Look for a Capcom folder

    Um... Steam version has the same bug. I tried installing Steam in POL and than installing RE5, but get the same problem.

    P.S. Thanks Daerandin for gifting me Steam RE5;)

    OK! I have ran it. I found a post about Resident Evil: Revelations where it was said that turning OFF Rendering Threads in config.ini fixes all. Indeed, also here it fixes. However, a lot of flickering. What could be resolvement for this as the game gets almost unplayable?

    Maybe this will be easier to understand for you and maybe you can figure it out:
    After setting the config.ini to this:
    Code:
    [GAME]
    MouseBaseSpeed=2.000000
    [GRAPHICS]
    SLI=OFF
    Stereo=OFF
    HDR=LOW
    MSAA=NONE
    TextureFilter=ANISOTROPIC16X
    TextureDetail=LOW
    MotionBlur=OFF
    NormalMapping=ON
    NormalUpdate=ON
    Specular=ON
    Lighting=LOW
    FilterQuality=LOW
    WaterQuality=LOW
    EffectQuality=LOW
    EffectVolume=LOW
    ShadowQuality=LOW
    LOD=HIGH
    Joint=HIGH
    Adhesion=HIGH
    MotionBlurQuality=NONE
    [DISPLAY]
    Resolution=1280x720
    RefreshRate=60Hz
    FullScreen=OFF
    VSYNC=OFF
    AdjustAspect=OFF
    FrameRate=VARIABLE
    [SOUNDS]
    SeVoiceNum=128
    ReverbQuality=LOW
    CategoryEQ=ON
    [CPU]
    JobThread=3
    RenderingThread=OFF
    [JOYPAD]
    A=2
    B=1
    X=3
    Y=0
    LEFT=15
    RIGHT=13
    UP=12
    DOWN=14
    START=9
    BACK=8
    LT=4
    LB=6
    RT=5
    RB=7
    LSTICK_PUSH=10
    LSTICK_VERT=Y
    LSTICK_HORZ=X
    RSTICK_PUSH=11
    RSTICK_VERT=Z
    RSTICK_HORZ=RZ
    
    and setting Wine to 1.7.41 or newer(1.7.42-staging...) I made the game run. It works fully, I tested it, but only in Windowed mode(could be GPU fault), but... A very huge problem. I can't play the game. Every time when it is NOT playing a video using WMP, I get a werid flickering where it is like distorted out of the position, like HUDs and in game elements would try to fly out of screen or parts of image rotate aswell, especially in menu, I see a lot of letters(mostly asian) aswell as some numbers of screen. Werid, right. However, it only happens in Resident Evil 5 window.

    I am using a Steam installed in POL and running legal RE5.

    People are here frequently, the lack of replies probably just means that nobody have any help to offer at the moment. When it comes to certain games in Wine, it takes patience as the solution may be difficult.

    I've seen flickering in many games, sometimes installing the right d3dx will fix the problem or make it worse.
    What kind of flickering are you seeing exactly? Ground textures, shadows, animation, etc?

    Since you are using the newer versions of Wine, that probably isn't the problem. You can also try messing with the PlayOnLinux display settings in Configure.
    Under the Display tab you can disable GLSL
    Sometimes that makes improvements on graphics and shaders

    Well, I fixed it, but the flickering affected everything. It was more like a destroying screen, everything sharded. However, fix came here!

    Yeah, it runs for me similarry now, of course, because I have 2 grades lower GPU, it runs on worse FPS, alothugh my quadcore more Hz processor helps out a bit:D However, if I'd get a PS4 or PS3 or(the best) PC controller, it'd be much better to play this game with it. Is it possible to do it on Linux Ubuntu without any complicated setup?

    Maybe its time to get a new video card.
    My GeForce 550 Ti rocks and its been almost 3 years since I got it.
    You might want to look into a GeForce 750 Ti
    I've heard they are really good and do not require extra power
