Yup, its hard to find Windows 7 and get support for it. Plenty of updates, but its like Microsoft is treating Win7 the same way they are treating WinXP. Windows 7 is still "new" to me. I used Windows XP for 10 years and only been using Windows 7 for 4 years.... that is NEW in my book

Dark Souls is well known for the XBox success because of the unique combat style and visual quality. This is no hack-n-slash game! Your progress is rewarded only by knowing your enemy and knowing when to attack. Select from several classes and play in a dark world of demons, dragons, insanity...

What? An it has all the proper stand-off placement for an EATX motherboard?

So you think I can just pop a USB flash drive with Mint 17.3 Live Disk in it and boot to it? Doesn't the Mac firmware cause issues with this? What about gutting it and putting PC hardware in there?

Agreed! Windows 7 has some great features and stability, but its amazing how many older games won't run properly. It does have compatibility mode, but some games are full of bugs and artifacts. In Mint I've noticed that Wine has even better compatibilitiy with Direct X 8 & 9 games than Windows...

I have experienced some slowness in Neverwinter as well. I always set Wine memory size to dedicated memory on the video card. I have a GeForce 550 Ti 2GB RAM, so I set Memory size to 2048 MB

EATX is friggin HUGE! Gizmo do you have a pic of your case somewhere?

I could possibly take home an old Mac G5 A1186 from work They are going to recycle them and I've always liked the old Mac's but never liked how heavy they are. I definitely don't want to use OSX on it, but it does have an Intel Core2Duo processor Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.06GHz 4GB RAM ATI...

Great points MajorLuna! I can see you have put a lot of thought into this. I'm curious how the language and fighting will be implemented. I like what you said about repetition. A lot of fighting games have repetitive moves you can execute, so that would be a good way to have repetitive...

I remember Daniel still using Windows 2000 and refusing to upgrade to XP... I remember Cliff too... he lives in AZ near me and used to have a car shop that his Dad owned. I have his email address. I still use Enermax power supplies because of you guys at AOA. All 6 of my PC's have one!

did you finish Dark Souls?

Actually no, my daughter and I would join a party together to play co-op and it worked perfectly. Its been a while, but I rarely had a problem with anything. The first thing you could try is downloading Wine 1.8 from the Wine Manager and see if it improves things.

I will check driver manager from time-to-time, but the last time I updated my Nvidia drivers is from an update. So they will let you know when the next stable Nvidia driver is ready for Mint

Just like old times guys! Great to see you all here

I stick with anything stable in Mint because my guides have to retain the "vanilla" scenario for most new Linux gamers. If I get an update for a new Nvidia driver, I'll definitely download it and try it. But I won't manually install any drivers because most new gamers won't try it either. 352...

checkpoints suck so much in this game... basically you kill a bunch of zombies and finally get to a bonfire to save your game... little did you know, saving the game brings back all of the zombies again. Then you eventually get to the next boss and die, returning to the bonfire and re-spawning...

new game-play video:

Start over again and make sure to set Windows 7 from the beginning. Try using Wine 1.8 because its stable. I know its not the newest version, but its definitely stable. At what point do you get the "Error in POL_Download_Resource"? Is it when you are installing packages?

Diablo 3 is the long awaited successor to Diablo 2. We all waited 12 years to see what Blizzard Entertainment would conjure up to renew the franchise. It was well worth the wait! Return to the town of Tristram with new classes, weapons, loot and beautiful graphics. Follow my step-by-step...

Welcome to the forum w1tchfind3r! Great to have you here! Normally when I test games I search at www.WineHQ.org, but since there is no Duelyst entry you might have a lot of work to do because nobody has tested it in Wine yet. I can't even find system specs for Duelyst. I may have to test it...
