Quoting: Avehicle7887Wine is an amazing piece of software which should be loved by everyone

Partially it's thanks to it that I'm now a full time Linux user as there are some games (Guild Wars 2 being one of them) which I wouldn't do without.

I only reserve Wine for old Windows games of which are most likely never going to get ported over (and occasionally Free2Play MMOs), It's nice be able to re-play a favorite old game of mine without needing Windows for it.

That said I don't intend to buy any new Windows games regardless of how good they run in Wine, I believe there are enough cross platform tools to make a Linux release happen these days.

I have found some games listed on Wine-AppDB to be outdated and do not reflect how the game runs in Wine today.

For example BloodRayne has a Silver/Garbage rating, however after a full playthrough last week I'd easily give it a Gold/Platinum rating.

Thanks to wine devs, now is possible play on linux many old titles

In my case most windows game played works in linux using wine (in my case more play old games and emulators than newer games)

Respect wine appdb in various entries stay oudated but is very simple* add your results for help wine

Quote*need register in wine appdb and send your results, most part of this process are simple

only need add: type of game license aka: steam, gog, gamergate, retail or other, what works, what dont works, what dont tested, which wine are used in test, select distribution used, if game is correctly installed

However wine devs dont support playonlinux or any wine patched version but staged is supported

In my case sometimes put some results

Another important step if want help is report problems bugs** in your used apps

Quote**for send bugs is needed stay register in wine bugzilla

wine appdb register is different to wine bugzilla register

Quoting: JudasIscariotWould you happen to have any news about this Wine bug:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37439 ?

Yeah i post this bug related character rendering in saint row the third but since appear game as native, dont update this bug

However maybe try update later

But maybe using CheckFloatConstants as enabled in wine register can solve something case titan quest

Another title when works CheckFloatConstants as enabled is in kick-ass 2 (this title have similar problem as saint row the third in character rendering)

Quoting: Alm888Yes, it is very useful, but you will need to replace system's ffmpeg with a custom one, which is a hassle, and the card needs to be no less then GeForce GTX 650.

P.S. Lucky for me, I have exactly GeForce GTX 650!

Dont need GTX 650 minimum, GK208 works and stay present in various models case: GT 630 v2, GT 640 v2, GT 710, GT 720, GT 730

But GM108 dont have any hardware unit for decode or encode video (very annoying nvidia)

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk

QuoteExcept GM108 in the Maxwell generation of GPUs, which does not contain any video encoder or decoder HW.

Without forget download lastest nvenc sdk (7.0) needs stay register on nvidia

However before versions to 7.0 can be downloaded freely for now here

Quoting: lucifertdarkI have an intel G3258 3.20Ghz Dual core coupled with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 & 8Gb of Ram, I've been too busy playing to notice how low the framerate is going so far, one annoying bug I've found & it's got me stuck right now is refueling the Magnum Opus, the option hasn't appeared yet after running out of fuel & finding a couple of full cans.

I have same cpu but oc at 4.1Ghz but i dont try this game (cpu side) with nothing less i5 K haswell 4.0Ghz (maybe i3 but not skylake, however i3 7300 (kibylake) have 4.0Ghz stock frecuency

Quoting: g000hThis was in my Steam collection, as part of a bundle I purchased months ago. Good that it has come to Linux, at last. I decided to give it a try for myself, and it wasn't what I'd call seamless to get it up and running.

First thing, needed to go into Enclave's properties on Steam, and activate the Beta Access. Once this is done it will install. At the end of the install, it mentions a Mono component that it can install (if you aren't using your distro's package of Mono).

After installing I had a go at firing it up, and the screen was very pixellated and too bright. I managed to go into the Video settings, and change to 3840x2160 32bit.

My Debian 8.6 Jessie (default Wine version is 1.6.2) wasn't happy launching the game, after the main menu. Needed to escape from it, and go into Steam/steamapps/common/Enclave/Game and edit the environment.cfg
Changed the VID_RENDER=Direct3D8 to VID_RENDER=OpenGL

To get the graphics behaving, after setting in the game Video menu, to my display settings, I needed to Quit out of the game, restart the operating system, launch Steam, and play Enclave again. After some more fiddling, restarting, setting brightness low, and still finding the game too bright / wrong gamma settings / and trying some things with xrandr in a terminal.

After this, I'm able to play, and it is working reasonably well (apart from the on-screen colours). Sound, music, controls - all reasonable. Completed the first section of the game "Escape the Dungeon" and ready for part 2, and BLAM... "UNRECOVERABLE ERROR ENCOUNTERED. PRESS ANY KEY TO QUIT."

And that's as far as I could get. I've tried reinstalling the game, running Linux updates, deleting the steamapps/common/Enclave folder after uninstalling, and then doing a "clean" install.

Yes, I'm not a big fan of Wine Wrapped games.

EDIT: Got past the problem.

Okay, so I went back into the environment.cfg and put back the VID_RENDER=Direct3D8

Today, it seems like the Enclave developers have sorted out the brightness issue in the game, and things are looking good now.

With Direct3D8 setting, I have been able to play Part 2. I haven't observed any appreciable slow-down running as Direct3D8.

So, for me, it's working okay now.

Yeah in my test also see this situation before described, d3d8 is more stable in my test until 3rd mission
