I've had similar problems with Crysis games and my video cards. I just remembered there is a special Wine version just for AMD cards: Wine Gallium Nine I've read there are some huge performance boosts with this and AMD cards. Not sure if you need to be using open-source or proprietary...

Good point! The benefit of using Wine is that it is "not" emulation or virtualization. From what I've read, its actually a sandbox environment that packages all the basic windows dependencies in order to run Windows programs. It still uses all the native drivers and hardware connectivity...

You wrote "virtual machine" did you mean "virtual drive"? Just making sure.... I'm not versed in AMD drivers. I have one computer with an older AMD card and the drivers really suck. I have a touchscreen with AMD and it runs ok with open-source drivers. Thats about all I know. All of my other...

They keyboard issue... i'm not sure. Haven't heard of that one before. Try using a newer version of Wine. You can easily download it from Tools - Wine Manager. Then go to Configure - Select skyrim - General Tab - Downarrow to select Wine The store can be fixed by going to Configure - Select...

Another survival game in a unique atmosphere... The Raft You are stuck on a raft and have to survive: starvation dehydration sharks drowning Pay what you want for their native Linux game. I suggest paying more than $1 because its pretty dang fun!

I feel for ya both. I've been burned too many times by ink cartridge prices that I have stopped purchasing Photo Printers. Which really sucks because my Wife is a photographer. The last Photo Printer we purchased was a $100 Cannon. IT had 5 ink cartridges that were all separate: CMYKBlk &...

Welcome to the forum Conor. Yes you can definitely start over with a new Virtual Drive. Just go to Configure, select the virtual drive (left side) and click Remove. I recommend leaving the "default" one, but you can remove the other Skyrim Virtual Drives. This way, you can start over with a...

Looks like Visual C 2015 didn't install. Try this part again, make sure to copy/paste the entire line and remember to replace "username" with your Linux login name: Installing Visual C 2015 Miscellaneous Tab Click "Open a Shell" Copy/Paste: Code: wget...

Thanks for the update! I always add d3dx9 as a just-in-case... I know some games do not need it, but its always safe to add it.

Awesome! Thanks for the input

I found web.archive.org as well. Its pretty cool. They will retain most of the code and simple backgrounds. I even had some old flash website and web.archive.org retained it as well. Its funny going back and looking at old websites.

Ok, that makes sense. I have used Fedora and CentOS, which are Red Hat derivatives. I didn't do a lot of gaming on them, but I've read that Fedora can run games. It isn't so much your Distro but the hardware that can provide issues. Mostly because of drivers. Can you play any other games in...

I have read that the open-source drivers provided by Linux has pretty good performance for AMD video cards, but you may want to try using a more popular distro if you are planning on playing a lot of games. This is why I stuck with Mint. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian. All...

Thanks for posting... unfortunately I do not have any knowledge of Korora 25 or Wayland. I tested Grim Dawn in Mint 17.3 and Mint 18 with a GeForce video card and Nividia 370 drivers. Recently they updated visual C and it stopped running, but I found a work-around and now it runs pretty well. I...

Yeah, it appears to be a Playstation Only game. Sony is definitely known for exclusive games on PlayStation. I've never heard of it until today. Won't be playing it unless it arrives on PC... and it will never arrive for Linux. Sad because Playstations run on a Unix-based Operating System. You...
