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?
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! :)
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...
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...
Here are two file comparisons using the terminal command, "lspci" (without quotes).
First is from Knoppix 7.4.2
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ uname -r
3.16.3-64
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ lspci

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller...
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...
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?
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.

I see what you mean. I just did a search and read the last comment at the bottom of this page:

I suggest reading this it does explain the complexities involved to get information on your Graphic card memory :(
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
