    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Guide

    I've noticed sound issues in other games as well. Yes, setting to Windows XP fixes them. Something with xaudio I guess... Thanks for the shadows tip, I wonder if it works in Wine 1.8?

    Deus Ex GOTY Guide

    Sorry the screens are a bit faded. Deus Ex adjust the brightness of Linux, so I had to turn it down a bit and then the screens became way too dark

    STALKER: Clear Sky Guide

    I know the feeling... I have 6 computers in a gaming LAN at home and still run windows on them. There are a few games that won't run so great in PlayOnLinux/Wine and are holding me back. Not to mention drivers as well. When playing games by myself I only use Linux these days. Where exactly is...

    STALKER: Clear Sky Guide

    No problem, I can still help you... Are you doing a "manual installation" just like the guide above? You may want to download the GOG installer for COP again. Maybe it was corrupted during the download?

    STALKER: Clear Sky Guide

    Do you mean PlayOnLinux installers? You should be able to install Call of Pripyat with these same steps. Also try using Wine 1.8-staging or Wine 1.8 Where did the installer get hung up?

    Tired of Windows

    I always thought Compiz was a resource hog for Graphics cards. So I never used it. I am very happy with Mint's workspaces

    No login possible after sudo in Mint

    But why would he need to use sudo when using his keyring? When I typed: seahorse it doesn't ask for a password Cloasters initial problem was using "sudo" and I have a feeling its not resolvable with keyring

    No login possible after sudo in Mint

    Oh, but he couldn't "sudo" which is the same as his login... The keyring (seahorse) on my Mint box doesn't show any local accounts or passwords The only reason he "can" login is because Mint will do an automatic login so you don't have to type the password each time

    No login possible after sudo in Mint

    I just read about Seahorse and it shows you all website and network saved passwords. But it doesn't show me anything for my local accounts. Can the password be reset in /etc/passwd?

    First Linux Game

    Good call, I didn't even think of that. I was trying to wonder why you were playing games at 2K As long as your video card can handle it... otherwise you can use this command in Debian/Ubuntu/Mint in the PlayOnLinux Arguments so when the game launches it will reset your resolution: xrandr -s...

    Logitech Dual Action Gamepad under PlayOnLinux

    So what is AntiMicro for Linux? Wait, I just searched for it. This is completely out-of-my-realm because my controllers worked out-of-the-box with Mint. I didn't use AntiMicro or anything... just Linux Mint. http://www.lgdb.org/tool/antimicro You may want to post some questions on the Linux...

    First Linux Game

    Well, excuuuuuse Meee! :p Guess I'm old school with my 1680x1050 dual LCD screen :( Well no wonder PlayOnLinux and Wine have a problem with your 4K screens. For the most part they are great for older Direct X 9 games which are mostly older games. Some day I'll have enough money to invest in...

    No login possible after sudo in Mint

    Good point, I forgot super user needs to password-in just to create an account. Is there a way to reset passwords without "sudo"? This is a common problem in Windows when someone forgets their password. If they don't know the Administrator password then the only way onto their computer is using...
