    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    No problem. Thanks for posting everything you have learned about Battlefield 2. There are still a lot of communities playing this classic game. I wish I had more productive input for you, but it seems you have a find grasp on the problem and the configs. Did you ever look into Battlefield...

    Playing paragon on linux

    I have a feeling Paragon is a DirectX 10/11 game, which for the moment, won't run in Wine. Here is the best I could find for system requirements: Minimum OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit Processor: Core i5 2.5 Ghz RAM: 4GB Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD 6870 equivalent DX11 GPU...

    Space Hulk Deathwing

    Agreed. Wine development is slow, but totally worth the wait. I have no problem with most of my DX9 games in Wine/PlayOnLinux and there are plenty of new one's that still work great.

    Space Hulk Deathwing

    Checked WineHQ and there is nothing there for "Deathwing" But they are developing for DirectX 11 Compatibility in Wine. So maybe some day in the future we'll see more DX10/11 games

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    So what other tests do you want me to try? I really don't want to connect all 6 computers in my LAN, but so far it appears to run fine with Patch 1.5

    Recommend email Client for Linux?

    So true, but honestly I'm tired of Outlook and its 1000 features. Too stinking bloated and does waaaay too much. Its great for business but not so much for personal.

    Recommend email Client for Linux?

    I only use gmail for my personal email. IT ROCKS! I save all of my contacts, bookmarks, calendar events and personal files there. I love Google DOC's and their Excel, Word, Powerpoint programs. Everything is in one place and works on all devices.

    Recommend email Client for Linux?

    I've rarely used Outlook Express because my jobs always provided Outlook. But most mail clients have the same functionality: Inbox Drafts Outbox Sent Items Folders Contacts Calendar etc For the most part you can create a new email and send it to someone and the client will store their address...

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    Yup, it totally worked! I hosted my own LAN server by modifying .con file in my BF profile. Its hard to tell if there really are 64 bots when using Tab menu, but there was a lot more and I could actually play the 64 player maps for once. So did the Hard Justice team create bot paths for their...

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    Ok, I'm about to try with your new tips setting it in the My Documents profile. Do I still need to set it in AIDefault.ai?

    It's snowing a bit in Ravensdale WA

    Its perfect here in Arizona! Still wearing t-shirt and shorts all day. I take my daughter to the skatepark on Sat/Sun mornings and it is under 50 degrees, but warms up quickly. I love it!

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    I made the requested changes to: ServerSettings.con AIDefault.ai But now my listenserver crashes every time. If I touch the in-game bot count, max players, etc... does this override those two files I made changes to?

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    Wow, thank you for being so thorough. I will try to edit the mentioned files and see if I can get my listenserver to run 100 bots on a single level. My machine has a 6-core AMD CPU and 8 GB of RAM. So hopefully it can handle the load and play the game at the same time. If not, I can always...

    mods for Battlefield 2 crash under POL-WINE (Plain BF2 is fine)

    I tested Hard Justice 1.3 in PlayOnLinux with Wine 1.8.3 and the BF2 1.5 patch. Never had any issues with crashing, but I didn't play for a long time either. Some of the maps are really good and others are just cut-n-paste objects everywhere. I wasn't able to allow 64 bots on a map for some...
