Running games in slackware with wine

Bowlslaw — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:56:46 -0400

I have installed Fallout Tactics, but I can't get it to run. Every time I try, the vaultboy head bounces up and down by my cursor for a few seconds, and then nothing happens. How can I get my game to run?

This is the wine I have: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/wine/

which version of wine to use with Spore patch?

JoelFan — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:59:57 -0400

My Ubuntu system has Wine 1.2 installed. I am trying to install Spore using http://linuxoutlaws.com/spore . It says to "Grab the latest Wine source (1.1.4, at the time of writing)" and then to apply a patch. If I am going to apply this patch, which version of Wine source should I "grab"? 1.1.4? 1.2? 1.3.4?

Wine not working in Ubuntu

Doug 2 — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:05:59 -0400

Hi,

I have always preferred Linux over Windows, but gave myself the chance to really get into it this past week. Normally, I ran Windows XP in VMware to use Windows apps necessary for class. I don't have classes anymore, so I really gave Windows the royal boot. It has been sent off to that big blackhole in the sky. Anyway, I do have to use Internet Explorer to test browser compatibility for web sites I make, especially since IE usually craps on my code here and there where other browsers do not. I have never had to use Wine in the past, but I am discovering it just doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu. I know it is just something I need more information about. Any help getting it going would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Any ideas? In winecfg i enabled "allow DirectX to hold mouse in it's window" and "emulate virtual desktop"
