Slloooowmotion games in Win 7!

Hi,
Weird problem. Using Windows 7, a few games seem to be running in slow-motion, not as in a low fps, but literally as if time is running slower.
My graphics card is the Radeon Mobility HD 2600 XT. Bootcamp 3.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Enough RAM, disk space for temp files, and you have the latest ATI Catalyst.
Other games and apps are okay?

Access denied error when I try to install game via Wine

I try to install game via Wine on FAT32 partition and I always receive error "access denied" when install program starts copying files. How to fix it?

This is just one partition that has enough free space. Why should I install it to other partition?

Arch 64bit and 32bit games under wine

Hi there,
I am using an x86_64bit version of arch linux and have tried to use Civilization IV and Warcraft III with wine. But i have no usable Framerates. I have tried a lot of issues from Google Searches and from this forum but i cannot handle this problem. My first idea was, that my drivers are not installed correctly. But programs like glxinfo and glxgears says that there is hardware rendering enabled and compiz also works fine. After some researches today i think to have a new idea for my problem.
First i need to say, that i have an Thinkpad T400 with onborad graphics Intel HD4500 or so on. On Ubuntu with wine there were no problems in using Civ IV and Warcraft III, but under Arch Linux i cannot get it to work correctly. The Ubuntu was also an 64bit version.
Is it possible that wine need 32bit libaries for the graphics driver because of the 32bit games? I have only installed the normal pacman packages for my system, which only compile the drivers for 64bit. If this can fix fix the problem. How can I install 32bit and 64 bit drivers on one system?
I am relativly new to Arch Linux, so pls tell me the right commands if you need mor informations. And thank you for your issues.

This is almost definitely the problem. First, add the new [multilib] repo (see the news page for how to do this). Then run pacman -Syu lib32-intel-dri (assuming you are using the 64-bit intel-dri. otherwise you may have to build something from the AUR).

EAX on players or operating system without games in Win 7

Can I turn on EAX in music or videoplayers or at the usual time with no games but on Win 7?
In Win XP it was possible with the aid of a tool but in Win 7 no. Without EAX sounds like with worst quality as a bad sound card and would like to include the full sound quality with EAX anytime and without games, or in music or videoplayers. Is there a utility for this ?

Win 7 64 bit, i am install console launcher and fully work on Win 7 64bit!

Unable to play games on win xp pro

im using win xp pro and i successfully installed midtown madness 2 but when i click play, it say the cd-rom is not detected. what could be the problem? I'm using TDK 1616DLN dvd writer with msi k8n neo2 platinum

The original Midtown madness had this problem with some CD drives. (never worked on my samsung)
They made a patch for it, and I see they do for Midtown Madness 2.
It doesn't say it will fix the no CD error (yes this is an error with the legit copy) but it might be worth a try.
MS know the problem exists (I had a long chat with them on the phone years ago) but don't seem to want to fix it.
I seem to recall them pointing me towards a patch for Encarta, that also has this error with some drives. (same security / same fix?)
Updating your CD / DVD firmware might also help.
There are other ways over this, but they are best not posted on a public forum.
Also have a look here.
Please insert the correct CD-ROM" error message or the game stops responding on the "Loading" screen
Note
Your CD-ROM drive is not compatible with the program.

Cannot run Source games under Wine

Hello, I remember when I used ubuntu I had the ability to run Source games (although they looked... weird, I couldn't place my finger on it) under wine, however I have yet to get any source games to run. When I try to run them the text comes out all messed up, and the textures are screwed up beyond belief.

i have not tried team fortress, in a few days when the month rolls over and i get my broadband speed back i can try installing it. I have only minor problems running left4dead and halflife2 under the latest wine. but i cannot get the games to run if i install playonlinux. maybe theres something special you got to do to get playonlinux to work but i prefer to not use it.

if your using 64 bit arch then shouldnt wine be using c:\Program Files(x86)\

LAN games with WINE

I'm preparing for another small (<5 people) LAN party and we're getting desperate to find some more decent games.
What worked for us the last few times:
Unreal Tournament
Quake 3
Rune (with Bot Mod)
Counter Strike 1.6
Half Life Deathmatch (No Bots)
As you can probably tell from the list above we rather prefer the classics over current/modern games.
We're planning to test Age of Empires 2 (just read about the direct play fix), Warcraft 3, Flatout 2 and some Command & Conquer.. but no clue how well they work
I'm aware of winehq, but it's a pain in the a*se as you can't filter for LAN games..
We're grateful for any suggestion.

Im pretty sure the first Starcraft works over LAN, its also rated as gold under the AppDB. If you've never tried it you may like it, Its also an RTS like Warcraft 3 (which is also Gold under Wine), Age of Empires, etc.

The NJ Lottery website doesn't show the winning numbers when I click on the game

I made a few changes to stop pop ups but I don't remember exactly what I did. Ever since then when I open the NJ Lottery website the information in the center panel isn't there and when I click on a game the winning numbers and the prize amount doesn't open.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

Problem - computer freezes every time a 3D game / Wine game is run

Hello. My brother's computer is a quite powerful machine. He would be very satisfied with it if it wasn't for one thing: it freezes every time he runs any 3D game or any game using Wine.
I have tried to do some troubleshooting, but after long time I still cannot find the cause. The problem persists. No update has fixed it yet.
Some 3D games seem to run, some don't. I have tried AssaultCube and it worked, but when I tried Sauerbraten it froze.
Wine games seem not to work at all, or at least that's my general impression. As a test, I tried a freeware DirectX 7 game. Froze straightaway. More complex games of course also froze.
The problem seems to be related either to hardware or to some NVidia-specific stuff. I tried a test run of XP on this computer. It ran when it was a clean install, but when I installed NVidia drivers, it didn't boot again correctly. There was no error description as far as I remember.
I have swapped a power supply to a higher wattage thinking that it maybe was energy starvation that took the system down. No luck.
Output of different commands:
"hwinfo --short": http://pastebin.com/Sj8SbvZy
"lsmod": http://pastebin.com/dtchwqAF
"pacman -Qi nvidia": http://pastebin.com/rhKcLUpH
"uname -a": "Linux 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 21 07:23:08 UTC 2010 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux"
One more thing. Even though it's a 64-bit CPU, I'm running a 32-bit system. Would that create a problem? From what I've read online, it doesn't really seem to make that much of a difference.
Please help me with this. I really don't know what to do.

hello again.
glxinfo looks good and normal
Right.. i have been reading bout similiar issues ..like that of your system freezing..
a reported fix would be to
echo 1 | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
as root
and add it to the /etc/rc.local for it to be applied every boot up..
Link of where i have gotten the info from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/151382
Apart from that , i have noticed your kernel isnot up to date.. Please run your updates.. the latest kernel in the core repo at the time of writing is 2.6.36.
Hope it works out for you
and if the above doesnt work out..
i would need to see your
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Have a good day

Possible Video Card problem while running 3d applications on wine

Hello guys, I got an issue with wine running 3d games/applications on the netbook and I thought this was the right place to post, since I'm pretty new to Arch, sorry if I messed something up with the sections.
Long story short: The applications/games I "tested" are Football Manager 2013 (via Steam) and Nintendo64 emulator. I didn't post on the wine forums since I'm pretty sure it's not a wine related problem, due to the fact that on my desktop both work without any problem with same wine and Arch configuration.
The netbook as an integrated Intel video, while the desktop has a nvidia card.
So I'm assuming there something wrong with the video card/drivers/configuration even if X runs good and seem configured correctly.
When I run those games with wine i get the following error and I get a black screen on wine:
@ swapchain.c / 338
fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status FBO status GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED (0x8cdd)
fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status Location SFLAG_INTEXTURE (0x40000).

err:d3d:swapchain_blit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION (0x506) from Swapchain present blit(EXT_framebuffer_blit)
and the thing is Football Manager doesn't need much graphics, since games can be played even in 2d.
I searched for the error but I didn't find anything, that's why I'm asking!
Thanks in advance to everyone who'll help.

Wine and xrandr

I'm trying to run some games with wine, but everyone shows the same problem when I try to run it in fullscreen.
For instance if I run Starcraft or Fallout 2, terminal says:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f420,0x00000000), stub!
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x8 @0! (XRandR)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x32 @0! (XRandR)
So I've found out that xrandr only has one mode:
Screen 0: minimum 2960 x 1050, current 2960 x 1050, maximum 2960 x 1050
default connected 2960x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm
2960x1050 50.0*
As you see, I have a dual monitor setup on nvidia card, and I configured everything with nvidia-settings.
So my question - how do I add more 'modes' to xrandr.

Since this is a problem which many have even today, im posting this GREAT solution

and mods, i hope this is not considered 'necroposting the ONLY solution', im sorry if it is.

Wine and directsound 3d

I have a problem with wine, I have enabled hardware sound with winecfg but I have errors anyway when I start games with wine, errors say that hardware acceleration is not enabled and wine will use HEL instead. I can't post the errors cause now i'm in an other computer, anyway someone could advice me? I'm playing starcraft 2 with wine and it has very low fps, with windows 7 is better.
thank you

Ok this evening i will be on my computer and i'll do my duty . I was wondering only to know if i have to something special to enable it...

[SOLVED] Wine Applications & XBOX Controllers

Greetings, Arch community!
I have a Logitech F710 controller (capable of both XINPUT & DINPUT) and I have already configured it using xboxdrv (although it works just fine with xpad). Linux native games via Steam work just fine with the controller but I have yet to get it working with games on Wine. I'm using PlayOnLinux and have a 32 bit WINEPREFIX using Wine 1.7.4-CSMT running Windows 7.
I believe these are relevant overrides:
xinput1_1 (native)
xinput1_2 (native)
xinput1_3 (native)
xinput9_1_0 (native)
dinput (builtin, native)
dinput8 (builtin, native)
I have tried switching about overrides to no avail as well as tried using x360ce to configure. However, x360ce does not detect the controller when I set either dinput to (native) only. Using ditool (to detect input devices), I see the controller detected just fine in both XINPUT & DINPUT. The games I wish to have the controller working with are:
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Legend of Korra
Note: These games wotk just fine with mouse & keyboard but I would much prefer to be able to lay back and play them with a controller.
I'm willing to provide relevant output to get this working because after many tries, it still does not work. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for double post. Got it working. Should've just removed all overrides all this while. Shall just split games that require this into a different WINEPREFIX then.
Solution:
boghison wrote:I fixed it: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/di … 860178892/
(Assuming you already have xboxdrv set up)
Download everthing from here. (Some random link)
Paste it into the same directory as the executable.
With your controller running in XINPUT mode, as root run:
xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap x2=ABS_Z,y2=ABS_RZ --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_B,B=BTN_X,X=BTN_A,TR=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_MODE,GUIDE=BTN_THUMBR
Make sure your user has permissions to read the outputted events.
Disable all XINPUT & DINPUT overried in wine by removing them.
After that, all works great. Thanks for the link!

Anno 1404 on Wine

Hello,
i would like to play Anno 1404 on wine, as I don't want to setup an own windows partition.
I've installed it with wine, set the dbghelp.dll to native, and set DirectX to version 9 in the engine.ini of Anno.
Now i try to start it, but the intro isn't played correctly (instead of the video there are only colored blocks, but with sound). Then i see a brown background, with a full correctly working cursor. Then it changes the background color to a bright yellow. I have the working cursor, and sound, but no menu or images, only the yellow background.
On the console appear two different messages very often:
fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 909201952 (as fourcc: R16) WINED3DFORMAT!
fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(909201952) in the format lookup table
I have a ati radeon hd2600xt (mobile edition), and i am using the open source driver (xf86-video-ati).
Can anybody help me?

Nagian wrote:Native Linux games, like supertux or neverball. The OpenSource driver has got 3d-accleration a few months ago.
Well yes, these are native Linux games, they work very well with the opensource driver, but not games with wine. I test the open source driver from time to time with wine games and so far I had 0 success. Supertux, SuperTuxKart, Neverball, Warsow and so on... they work really good. But Wine games... nope. At least not for me.

[SOLVED] Wine can't initialize DirectX

Whenever I start up a 3D game in Wine (other Wine programs work fine, ie Steam) I get errors like this in the console:

Anyone else having this issue? Any help would be appreciated!

You can also use a bash alias.
As an example:
alias supac='sudo pacman'
You would place the above in the bashrc of your profile
gedit /home/YOURUSERNAME/.bashrc
Then to use it right away
source /home/YOURUSERNAME/.bashrc
Otherwise you can just logout then back in.
Then using the example you could just do
supac -Syy
supac -Syu
You just use supac in place of sudo pacman (the rest stays the same). You can use a different alias though. It doesnt have to be supac.
P.s. Glad the lib32-nvidia-utils fixed your issue. I had the same problem when i first started with arch so i assumed that was the issue.
