I'm probably a bit late for this but... anyways... I recently upgraded from Mint 17 to 18 (for several reasons) and after that I did a Kernel update and everything is working fine, I generally don't install anything that comes "red" on the updates list, and in fact now with mint 18 I have the...

Considering how "old" this game is I'm still amazed on how good it has aged, graphically speaking... Good guide as always btw...

Oh man... the nostalgia in this one is big...

Worked, I didn't knew you could do that, tsk! I'm such a PlayOnLinux rookie. Works perfectly on 1920x1080 either fullscreen or windowed.

Dang it, the Humble Bundle version comes with no .exe installer, just a folder with the game inside... I could do a .exe installer (with InstallForge for example) out of the files/subfolders inside it but I wonder if there is a workaround were you can set up the folder with the .exe launcher and...

I've always preferred xfce instead of gnome (the old one), and when I firstly discovered cinnamon I installed it on Ubuntu studio (which had xfce by default) and I completely loved it, plus its not much of a difference moving from xfce to cinnamon, just a lot more features. While it wasn't as...

I got this one dirt cheap on a Humble Bundle and I haven't played it yet, I'll download it and test it out with this setup. As always, thanks for the manual Booman.

So you have known both for quite some time heh. I tried fedora once in a notebook that I had (I was just messing around and testing different distros) and it seemed less user friendly compared the Ubuntu Studio that I was already using on my laptop and at the end I ended up putting Debian on...

The first time I tried Linux was like in 2009ish (probably earlier) and it was Ubuntu with the old Gnome desktop and to be honest, I didn't enjoy it much, then 1-2 years later I tried again Ubuntu and I was like "WOW THEY SURELY HAVE IMPROVED" and started digging into Linux distros. I tried...

Well, as I mentioned, it happens on Win7 as well, on the same machine, that's why I think its more regarding the hardware itself.

FYI the gog version runs great with the widescreen mod that can be downloaded from: http://www.moddb.com/games/icewind-dale-2/downloads/widescreen-mod-v305-by-the-bigg I use it because if not every time I leave the game (which I play on fullscreen) it messes the resolution of my cinnamon...

It launches the game faster using my PlayOnLinux set-up than in win7, on the very same computer! Either way the game loads the areas ultra fast and the server ping is incredibly low (I'm around 30-60 most of the time). I think they have like... 14m players or something which is crazy. They've...

I experienced lag spikes and fps drops when I fought large numbers of mobs or bosses, I was weirded enough to find out it was the sound effects, at first I couldn't belive it, I've never ever had a problem like that, but it makes sense since you hear TONS of "overlapping" effects when those...

Path Of Exile. It is free, and I mean, fully free, the only microtransactions that are in-game are fluffy social and decoration stuff (I bought some tbh because they totally deserve the income), works incredibly well on PlayOnLinux, have some incredible graphics and awesome fast action...

I've been playing Path Of Exile for almost a month now, I'm playing it on a daily basis and the only problem I encountered was happening to me both in windows and linux. The problem caused me to lag badly due to in-game Sound effects, in order to fix this you just need to turn them off or use...

Worked! and believe it or not the game loaded to the main screen even faster :O

The one you used, 1.7.32

Works great, it didn't want to launch at all with wine 1.8 but oh well... Thanks a lot again for all the effort you put into this booman.

Did you ended up playing the whole game under this setup or tested it more? Now that GOG has it on sale I'm really curious on how did this went on the long run, on the video you posted the game seems to go a bit slow specially at some parts were the camera moves but it might be just the video.

To be honest Mint with Cinnamon desktop is my favorite "flavour" so far. I remember when I first tried to install nvidia drivers via terminal back when I had no idea of what I was doing and I just "copy/pasted" commands, I totally broke the system big time and ended up formating, so definitely...
