In that case it makes sense. Microsoft will only develop their own games on their own platforms. Sucks because there are lots of games out there that support DirectX 9, 10 and OpenGL

Early access beta has been released... the video says Linux but right now its Win/Mac only Son Of Nor Steam

But does the game still support Directx 9? You know, d3dx10 and d3dx9 compatible?

What are the steps for downgrading? Can you simply download a deb or tar file from pulseaudio website? or does it require some terminal intervention? ... for new users of course ;)

I think there is either a switch to output debug in Wine or it just automatically outputs in the console... not sure cause I only use PlayOnLinux

By the way, I learned two new things just by reading your posts! Thanks Also, Aremis... you aren't stupid at all. Just because you didn't know something doesn't make you stupid. I think stupid is more like "I don't want to know how" and continue doing the same thing over and over. Back to...

Great, I wasn't even sure if that would work. At least the game works. Exact same experience for me and Borderlands 2.

I didn't know GOG already uses Wine wrappers for some of their games! How awesome is that? I wonder how the license works with selling a Wine wrapper? I know its open-source, but isn't there something GOG would have to do so they could sell it? I think PortMyApps is for a specific niche in...

You are an expert in my world. Thanks for explaining how they work. I totally agree! I still have Windows, but always go to Linux first. If the game refuses to play.... after I try everything possible of course... then I head back to Windows. One day I hope to never use Windows again.

Ah, so maybe they made the executable so you have to run it with bash

Yup, I'm sure that isn't helping us, but as long as the game runs, I'm happy. Sadly even if Linux gamers don't buy Windows games, its not really hurting the publishers and developers. But if they make a Linux port and we buy it... that should get their attention.

There is a chance the audio is a result of Pulseaudio and Alsa fighting since PlayOnLinux/Wine only use Alsa. Allenskd is an expert on audio in Linux. So he will have some great tips for you. Also, it will be hard to use Skyrim as a standard because in PlayOnLinux/Wine there are always...

I rarely have problems with native Linux games. Normally you just download the compressed file, extract then double-click an executable. Normally they will be .sh or no extension at all. Just the name of the game. A few times I've had to sudo chown or sudo chmod 777 an executable. The one...

So it still didn't work with -NoLauncher?

I hope WineHQ, PlayOnLinux.com and our site gains some attention from developers and publishers. We are proving there is a need for games in Linux. Wine or Native, either way we are going to play our gaming in Linux. We are even willing to buy them.

Yes, the best thing you can do is create a folder on the desktop called: Sid Meiers Pirates, then copy all of the files from both CD's to the folder. Then do the install from that folder. Instead of selecting the CD, you would just click browse and find the setup.exe

Yeah, a little bit. Pretty much anyone who posts about Wine or PlayOnLinux will get criticized about it. Cause "Only Linux Native games should be played in Linux" Total lack of foresight.

Considering I have no certifications what-so-ever, it would definitely be nice. Specially since I work in IT and have a few Unix/Linux servers.

My boss has told me several times that "if I wanted to get certified work will pay for it" So I'm definitely going to take this course!

Awesome! Thanks for posting that it works now
