    Farcry Help!

    I followed the POL Guide for installing Farcry even with different versions of Wine without success so far. My question is do you need to install IE to run the game and if so which version?

    Gothic 2 Gold - Night of the Raven locks up computer

    No. If you read what I stated that I was originally using Xubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) but I reinstalled with Xubuntu 14.04 (32-bit) which resolved the problem of crashing! Yes the wifi can disrupt my sound just like a an update can also cause a game to crash occasionally. Sorry I thought I had made...

    I finally have it cracked! See (Xubuntu 14.04 breaks my computer!), so once I have sorted out the wifi issue I should hopefully be in the groove man! :)

    Xubuntu 14.04 breaks my computer!

    Ok I found out what was causing me problems. It was dus to the fact that I had installed a 64-bit version of Xubuntu 14.04, even though this computer originally had Windows 8 installed I should imagine it was at the low end range for the OS. I have now installed the 32-bit version and all is...

    Gothic 2 Gold - Night of the Raven locks up computer

    Read my new thread: about xubuntu, I may well be suffering a catastrophic hardware fault. I failed to mention that I have used POL with success in Gothic III, LOTRO, without having the problems I am having now...

    Xubuntu 14.04 breaks my computer!

    Ok, where do I start here? Every now and than I test out various lts versions of xfce desktop. Having decided to return back to Xubuntu 14.04 which ran wonderfully I am now stuck with an interesting bug. On an earlier release + kernel my hardware was detected as a such-and-such card, now detects...

    Gothic 2 Gold - Night of the Raven locks up computer

    It seems to me that any game I try crashes and freezes! I have tried Fallout, Fallout 2, Gothic, Gothic II Gold and they all eventually crash (anywhere between 5-15 minutes). So how can I discover if this is a pulse audio or a graphics card issue?

    Gothic 2 Gold - Night of the Raven locks up computer

    Heres the logfile for Gothic II - Gold Edition. I need to point out that nothing would of been recorded when the computer crashed as a hard reboot was required which I think I have fixed by running POL via the terminal. [05/05/16 03:05:14] - Running wine-1.8 --version (Working directory ...

    POLscription

    Working on a simple program for automating a basic script template. Have decided to write the code using FreeBASIC http://www.freebasic.net/ which I hope will give folks an outline for writing and testing POL scripts. It will have a certain amount of error checking - removing spaces and...

    My code for Graphics Memory & Screen Size for Virtual Desktop

    Sorry called away now look at the line 'Memory at c0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M' this gives your graphics memory. e.g. 256M So we use VARVMS=$(lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}'` | sed -n '/Memory.*, prefetchable/s/.*\[size=\([^]]\+\)\]/\1/p') to essentialy look for the...

    My code for Graphics Memory & Screen Size for Virtual Desktop

    Okay this is a long-winded way of obtaining the information about your video graphics card memory in Linux (not sure about unix in Mac) 1. The command 'lspci' should work for obtaining the hardware of your computer type this into your consul/terminal. 2. The command 'lspci' is a utility for...

    My code for Graphics Memory & Screen Size for Virtual Desktop

    This is'nt a memory fix. It's just a way of obtaining information on your video card memory. When I was given this computer I had no information about it's specifications and all the hardware utilities I have used in linux fail to supply this information for some reason. After hours of searching...

    Gothic 2 Gold - Night of the Raven locks up computer

    I have partly solved some of the problems by setting Offscreen Rendering mode to fbo and setting Render target mode lock to readtex. I think it may be more of an issue with Pulse audio as when the computer locks up the sound is caught in an endless loop and I have to hard boot. Mind you last...

    My code for Graphics Memory & Screen Size for Virtual Desktop

    They are code snippets to be added into a script. The VARVMS=$(lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}'` | sed -n '/Memory.*, prefetchable/s/.*\[size=\([^]]\+\)\]/\1/p') can also be typed into a bash terminal as is, then type into the terminal: echo $VARVMS This will print the result to the...
