This is doing my head in. Let's see if I can explain with some clarity.
My favorite game, Sins of a Solar Empire Rebelion (SOASER) plays through Wine (POL) perfectly on my PC using Debian & Zorin. It doesn't need anything other than Nouveau driver. I use Antergos Arch as my no1 OS & want it working on that (dual booting at the moment but hate doing that) but nothing I do (different versions of Wine or switching to Nvidia driver) works. I even installed 32 bit version OS to eliminate multiarch issues. It loads fine but I get a black screen which 'reveals' the game in 'blinks' so I can access the game menu & exit.
Logic says this is a Antergos Arch problem but it runs perfectly on my Laptop.
So runs on Antergos Arch, Zorin, Debian - just not Antergos Arch on my PC...????!!!! I installed Homeworld. Bioshock, Red Alert 3 & it runs perfectly.
Any ideas where I can look for an answer?
WinHQ btw gives it a 'Gold' using Arch & Wine 1.7.19 which I tried too.
Cheers
Uzi.
