Good enough for me! It just means we'll have to wait as we usually do.

Whoa, how did you find this post? I just happened to be looking at it while supporting someone on the PlayOnLinux forums... I never played through the entire game, but it ran very nicely on my GeForce 550 Ti. As all the game do... I plan to test Brotherhood and Revelations in the future. All...

Yup, right here is fine. Any Guide that is not a full installation for games, just post them here

That is a lot of security errors I hope it isn't related to the same problem I've been having with Swordsman. How far do you get? Does it crash or not start at all? Also, have you tried with other versions of Wine? 1.7.24

Welcome to the forum Rob Harvey! Of course, Visual C++ 2013 is too new for Wine... who knows how long it will take for them to reverse engineer it? Sucks for us, but as usual, its just a waiting game. I would rather Wine devs work on Direct X 10 instead.

Good point. A lot of posts on PlayOnLinux.com forums end up being AMD drivers, 32-bit libraries, old hardware, missing windows components (libraries) or underpowered hardware.

I moved your "no sound" guide to Linux Guides (other) forum since its not a full game installation guide. Not sure why its not on the front page anymore. I'll ask the admins.

Battle the Kilrathi in open space, fight in skirmishes or full-scale fleet battles and complete missions for the Terran Confederation to save Earth. Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn in Linux with PlayOnLinux...

Pillars of Eternity looks graphically amazing! What kind of gameplay is it? Turn-based?

I would hope that is the goal of developers and publishers. If it was my game, I would want to make sure it was fully compatible before releasing it. So maybe the "myth" develops from the community whining about the game not running as well as they would like. Not realizing the amount of...

oops, I swear I linked to GOG careers in my last post.

How did you get Risen 3??!! Thats awesome! Did you have to turn off the shadows?

Exactly And there are still people with older video cards that are only direct x 9 compatible. Maybe they upgraded to Vista or Win7, but still have that old card. Adding direct x compatibility is a good idea. I know developers probably don't want to develop for old stuff, but it widens their...

Welcome to the forums Buwaro. So if you save it as a .reg file, can you run in with Wine or PlayOnLinux in the wineprefix and it will automatically install in the registry just like in Windows?

Yes it is! I can't wait for the day when video games actually have real character damage. You know, like a sword getting stuck in the minion's rib cage, or every cut removes pieces of flesh, damage to limbs makes them unusable.... I've seen limbs get cut-off, I've seen battle damage, but I'm...

Nice! I wonder if they are considering Linux for any of their games?

Dang, so there is no direct x 9 compatability at all? Why are developers doing that? They are killing potential profits because there are still a lot of Windows XP gamers out there.

Yeah, post what you did different from my Guide. If you want, I can add your tips to the end of my guide as well, but I know you are using Wine alone and I'm using PlayOnLinux.

Thats great! I absolutely agree about developers. The more developers know how to port games to Linux the more Linux games we'll have. Unfortunately I know its not all about quality right now. I'm sure most developers just want their game ported the easiest way possible. Just so they can say...

GOG Careers Once a programmer always a programmer. You should be able to learn stuff like Python and languages. Then help port games to Linux. How cool would that be?
