What? Mint doesn't use ALSA anymore? What does it use?

I LOVED Ghostbusters! Beautiful graphics, everything is destructible, great voice-overs and a LOT of action! I also love the feeling that I'm part of the old Ghostbusters movie. A lot of fun, totally worth the trouble to get it to run. Out of curiosity, I might run it on my other Mint computer...

First try Wine staging versions. Those also have a CMST setting in Wine Configuration that might improve performance. I originally had a lot of crashing on one of my PC's but later found that one of my sticks of RAM was bad. I haven't tried it since. The best thing you can do is send me the...

Wow, how long did it take you to finish it? You must be as stubborn as I am to play game :D So strange you still had those symptoms. I've seen the mouse problem on Crysis and Sacred among other games. Normally if I clicked the screen it would go away.

Awesome! Wow, you went "All out" with your confirmation! Thanks, I'll remember to use this when I'm getting lower than expected frame rates from Unreal Engine games.

I don't think its a motherboard hardware problem, but maybe a driver problem. When we install Mint, it handles all the hardware with the Kernel, so we don't have to install anything but the video card drivers. The reason I don't think its a driver problem is because none of your other...

Can you post your motherboard model and I'll search for others who have had issues like this. Might was well download some other versions of Wine and try those too

How about your motherboard? Maybe there are some issues with your chipset and/or audio chipset and Linux Kernel? Did you have this problem with any other games in PlayOnLinux?

I just read this post on Reddit: Fix for Bioshock Stuttering There is a quick-n-easy tweak for improving frames per second in Unreal Engine 3 games. I'm not sure of the side effects, but the poster mentions a bunch of other games that gain performance improvements. Can anyone confirm if this...

Really you only need these packages to run Skyrim: POL_Install_corefonts POL_Install_d3dx10 POL_Install_d3dx9 POL_Install_tahoma POL_Install_vcrun2008 POL_Install_xact Its possible extra d3dx libraries can conflict and cause issues. The only way to know is to install them and see... IF they...

Wow you guys have been working this weekend! Thanks for your help Daerandin! I installed Ghostbusters this weekend in Linux Mint 17 64-bit (I have not upgraded to 17.2 yet) The only problem I had with Wine 1.7.51-staging was installing the game. I had to copy all of the files off the DVD to a...

I just learned that PlayOnLinux fully supports .bat Batch files When you install a game or mod that has provided Batch .bat launchers PlayOnLinux will automatically insert the code into "Arguments" so you can launch the game. Batch .bat files are handled like executables in Windows, but you can...

Did you download a later patch than 1.12a? MultiRes doesn't work with any later patches You can play it without the Widescreen mod if you want, just create a shortcut to Diablo II instead. If you really want the widescreen mod, then you might have to start over.

Too much politics and money involved. I've read many articles and big companies chase money which is in Windows. Small indie companies need as much attention they can get, so multi-platform is the only way to go. I was reminded by a friend that Windows had to fight this exact same fight when...

There is a chance that torrent version is not up to date, or it may be buggy... It hard to know if a game really runs until you buy it and test it. I know that other versions of Resident Evil have problems as well.

Yes, this happens from time to time. Some games do it like Crysis and Risen, others are fine. I make sure to use the Wine Configuration option in Display Tab: "Automatically catpure the mouse in full-screen windows" That usually helps. If the mouse is too sensitive like in many games, then...

Actually after more research, it appears you can't adjust the sound volumes without Pulseaudio installed. The only way is by using alsamixer via the Terminal

I've read that Mint will automatically install Pulseaudio at the next update if you remove it. I would love to get rid of Pulseaudio, but my system needs to be vanilla for creating guides for the noob experience. I do have Mint on a few other machines, maybe I'll remove pulseaudio from those.

Bastion is a wonderfully narrated action role-playing game. The narrator describes everything your character is doing in order to fill the story with life and yet can be ironic or funny as well. Shoot arrows, smash everything with a massive hammer, slice-n-dice with swords, use granades, pets...

sorry man :( Buy me a copy and I'll definitely post a guide, that is if I can get it working :cool:
