I've lived your last point. There are several results to paying for proprietary software that is frustrating: Stuck using Proprietary Software (MS Office) and loosing support because company can't afford to upgrade Subscription based software - Company is forced to update software & it breaks...

Update: 42 hours into New Vegas and still running GREAT! Some days I will get one or two crashes and other days I'll play for an hour with no problems.

I'm just happy you are all here! Nuff said

All of this stuff gets so complicated. Its confusing to just about everyone. What it it really comes down to for the end user is: I use software for what I need and if I don't have to pay for it, great. Everyone else pays for their software and try to get the best deal possible. Or try to...

Dang I thought "RegisteredFonts" was the packaged that did it... I switched between Wine 1.8 and Wine 1.8-staging and then changed the Windows version to Windows XP in Wine Configuration.

I don't ever "see what you mean" :rolling:

I love it! :rolling: I have never viewed it as "abuse"... instead I always see it as an opportunity to help someone. Its actually quite ironic, us computer guys love playing with computers and love to help people with theirs. Computers are always fun and every time I work on one, I learn...

This is good news and bad news. So how many more steps will it take to install, setup, configure a game in PlayOnLinux and get it linked to Steam in big picture? I've read many complaints that our guides are too long... so adding more steps is going to be discouraging. For them of course... I...

Agreed. I never game in the living room on TV's since I have 6 PC's ready to game at any time. So I've never needed a console environment. SteamOS doesn't have much use to me, which kinda sucks because it IS Linux and I love supporting Linux. Its kinda funny, I was reading posts about...

I think its awesome to make money doing free software, open-source and nonprofit. Someone always pays for it, but the customer gets the product or service for free. LOVE IT! Like I always thought... "some things are just meant to be free" The rest of the world wants to make money from...

Almost, same steps but I used Wine 1.8 and had to add the package: POL_Install_RegiersteredFonts It errored the above error a few times but when I switched to Windows XP in Wine Configuration it worked. Took a few minutes to load up first time, but it worked. I used the US installer as...

got a little further, was able to see the main screen but I noticed a little pop-up with a Exclamation point and says Snail Games Protect Also a lot of these in the debug: fixme:virtual:__syscall_NtQueryVirtualMemory (process=0x234,addr=0xec690000) Unimplemented information class...

I was able to open the client and do a quick update After clicking Start I got this error: Failed to load drivers, please try to run them as administrator And then: SGP Initialize failed I also saw a lot of these errors in the debug: err:winediag:IcmpCreateFile Failed to use ICMP (network...

Good point and I'm not surprised either. Open Source always seems nice because you know they aren't taking your money. But even free software has a way to earn profits.

Probably has something to do with AMD helping develop the open-source driver. Which works better than their proprietary driver in most cases.

Its nice that it will never be said about open-source I know money pushes things along a lot faster and more support, but corruption isn't part of the game because there is nothing to monopolize.

What? How can Ubuntu no longer support fglrx? Do you mean the fglrx drivers won't automatically install anymore? That really sucks! Of course you can just install it yourself with the Driver Manager and a proper PPA

Daniel needs to stop referring to himself in 3rd person

Its not a "lost cause" because it really plays Mp3s No really it does, just not how any human would listen to them :D

MrDeathJr - You can use your post and create an Ubuntu driver update guide. I would love to see screenshots as well.
