    Far Cry Guide

    So it runs with the Direct3D9 setting? I didn't have any problems with "openGL" setting, but if you have installed the 32-bit libraries for Ubuntu, otherwise most games won't run because they are only 32-bit compatible

    Battle.net White screen problem.

    Are you already using the Virtual Desktop? Try re-sizing it as well. I've seen some game cause problems when the Virtual Desktop was 1024x768 or 1680x1050 Just depends on the game.

    Battle.net White screen problem.

    The only thing I can find is on AppDB A few posts mention the size of Battle.Net Try resizing the window or use Wine's Virtual Desktop See if that helps. Also try changing the resolution of your desktop as a test.

    Just Cause Guide

    Thanks You are right, even though it is an older game, the visuals are amazing! Its extremely fun as well... I tested Just Cause in newer versions of Wine, but I like to stick to stable 1.6.2 as a standard.

    Battle.net White screen problem.

    I guess its possible, but there would be a lot of posts on PlayOLinux because there are a lot of people playing Hearthstone, Diablo 3, etc... Can you post a debug output for us?

    Battle.net White screen problem.

    Was there an update to the Battle.net client recently that may have broken something? I'll check PlayOnLinux forums for other gamers posting similar problems. I thought QT5 was all worked out with Wine? My Drakensang launcher works perfectly now and it uses QT5

    100,000 WOW Players banned for using bots by Blizzard

    I saw that on Slashdot Apparently Blizzard didn't initially publicize any real numbers... At the same time, I'm not surprised. Bots playing the game for you? Who wouldn't think of that? Its kinda interesting because a lot of facebook games regenerate energy when you aren't playing. So the...

    Installing Resident Evil 5!

    I've seen this with a few games. One side-effect to changing brightness and/or gamma is Linux might keep this setting even when the game is closed. That IS a strange bug. Have you researched it online at all? Might be a video driver setting too
