    League of Legends Guide

    Wow, I am stumped! Nvidia drivers have always been great to me and GeForce cards work very nicely in Linux. You have even tested different versions of Wine with no luck. Did I already ask you if the 32-bit libraries are installed?

    Gothic 3 Guide

    Wow, I had no idea. I play for hours, but not as many as I put into Skyrim, Morrowind, Oblivion or Two Worlds. I made it into the city with the shield, but don't even remember how I did it. I just got frustrated with the A.I. I found that I could wake up a mob of enemies, jump onto a ledge they...

    Trying to get Farcry 3 to run (Steam)

    I always see proxy errors in the fixme's Never figured out if they were DRM related or not. But since you are messing with Crypt32, it probably IS DRM related

    So I tried GNOME 3

    One thing I instantly noticed about Mint KDE vs Mint Cinnamon, is KDE will run on older computers. I had many problems trying to run Cinnamon on old hardware and video chips. I test most games in Cinnamon because I think most new Linux gamers end up using it. I should probably install KDE as...

    Do you use any other Linux forums?

    OpenSuse was my first distro. I was using it out of curiosity because my work setup a web server with SuSE on it. So I wanted to see what a Linux distro would be like on my home computer. Funny that I never really joined a forum for Linux, just kinda played around with it and tried hosting...

    Gothic 3 Guide

    I liked Gothic 3, but also got frustrated with it after playing about half of the game. Specially when I got up to the snowy/ice areas... Glad its working in PlayOnLinux!

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on Steam

    don't feel dumb, Wine surprises me the same way over and over. Right now I'm having problems with Tower of Guns, and I have a feeling its something simple, but can't figure it out. This is the reason for our Guides, so people don't have to get frustrated with a game that won't run, when it...

    Trying to get Farcry 3 to run (Steam)

    Do you think Wine devs apply some of these "stable" changes to the Stable 1.6.2 or will they just create a new "Stable" version? I noticed when Steam had a problem a few months ago, they patched Wine 1.7.8 and newer with the fix and they also applied it to the stable 1.6.2 version. But no...

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    Yup, I make sure to close any open program before launching a game. Or end up using Openbox

    Rune Classic Guide

    yeah, I remember those days too. Luckily newer games won't let you save when you are dead anymore. Nice feature, but when playing those older games, gotta quicksave all the time and have to make new save games just in case I get stuck.

    Fedora Musician's Guide

    No problem. I always recorded with Windows and Cakewalk Sonor, but its been a long time and a lot has changed. Its funny, most of the recording gear is pretty much the same: Mics, mixing boards, input/output hardware, but software has changed a lot. I would love to build a dedicated computer...

    Outlast

    yeah, I only have Overture and Amnesia, so I plan on playing both of them at some point. Just so many other games in the way. I almost picked up Outlast a few times during the spring and summer sales on GOG, but it looked pretty disgusting and gorie. So I passed... But now that you have given...

    Outlast

    I have played a bit of Penumbra Overture and a tiny bit of Amnesia. I have to admit its way over-due and I need to play the entire games! I love horror games and even parts of Half-Life 2 (EP1) where you are stuck with a flashlight and some flares! Awesome stuff! I sense a guide coming...

    League of Legends Guide

    Oh, if you have Intel video chip, then the drivers are already installed. This may be the problem. I have a Chromebook with an Intel HD 2000 video chip and it won't play games like League of Legends. What exact model VAIO do you have? I'll look it up and see what video chip you have.

    Rune Classic Guide

    I'm still playing it all the way through. There was an area in the volcanic dungeon where the lava was rising. Unfortunately I saved the game right when the lava started rising. Have to load again and again and again until I figured out where to go.

    Trying to get Farcry 3 to run (Steam)

    Yeah, I'm no good with words. You have to think like a politician to communicate with one. I guess the letter would have to express the benefits to the economy and the people. specially for tax breaks. It would also have to explain how Developers/Publishers would want this as well. Companies...

    Do you use any other Linux forums?

    Yes!!! Maybe you could be kind enough to post a link or a duplicate of your tutorial?

    JACK Audio Server

    UGH, that really sucks! That is my worst-fear because I don't know how to fix corrupted anything... I only know how to re-install Linux to fix something like that.
