[Wine] Help Need

admin — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:24:13 +0000

A couple years ago I found Ubuntu Linux. Fell in love it. But always had to keep uninstalling it. Right now I have a copy of Kbuntu and I absolutely love it. However, all my work in on Microsoft Windows and it programs.

So I need some help, to understand the advantages of wine and how do I go about installing some of my very important Microsoft programs. Do I just run the C.d in the drive and allow it to load up from their or do I put in codes or something.

I would also like to know – if all programs that can run on windows will it be able to run on Kbuntu wine or will there be some limitations.

Thank You [Exclamation]

You can edit system.reg directly. To get back to the default, look
for the section
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]
and change LogPixels to 60, e.g.
LogPixels”=dword:00000060

We should have a commandline interface to winecfg, though.

I switched back to the old .wine folder, ran wineprefixcreate and warcraft still wouldn’t work.

Could you try:
$ mv .wine .wine.works
$ mv .wine.bak .wine
$ wineprefixcreate

To see if it will fix your old wine install? We’re trying to find any
bugs with wineprefixcreate, and this would help.

the registry and stuff may change with newer wine versions.
just run wineprefixcreate everytime you updated wine and it should be fine.

[Wine] World of Warcraft freezes and stutters periodically

admin — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:30:06 +0000

Hi,

When I load World of Warcraft the CPU jumps from an average of 10-15% up to 100% and stays there pretty constantly whilst playing. This doesn’t seem to affect gameplay most of the time (and I understand it may be relatively normal behaviour for running games under Wine), but occasionally I get a complete lock up of the game for about 3 seconds. The game screen freezes completely and the sound stutters during this time.

These stutters very often follow a mouse-click (for instance when selecting items, or speaking to NPCs), but not exclusively – the game also sometimes locks up while just running around. Also no difference between left or right click for the frequency of the problem.

My frame rate is fine, maybe 50-70fps on average, and my network lag is also fine, about 40-60ms.

I’m running 32 bit Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 on an AMD 64 3500+ with 2GB RAM, using an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS.

I have disabled all my Addons to see if that helps, and it doesn’t. I have also added the Wine registry edits and config.wtf amendments suggested elsewhere (particularly in the WoW Wine Wiki).

Any ideas? Or any other info I can provide?

Many thanks in advance.
