Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTWhich graphics card forces you to stay with fglrx, liberavia?

Mobility Radeon HD 5870

The 58 Series won't get over openGL 3.0 with radeon afaik. I tried it but it did not work unfortunately. Had matching Kernel and Mesa for getting openGL 4.5 (Tried in Ubuntu and Arch) but still got 3.0.

Damn old chip which, understandable, won't get support in the future.

Hopefully by the End of the year I'm able to buy a selfmade steam machine.

However until now I could not make Dragon Age work (Crashes after start wit 2.12 staging 64 bit on PoL)

Hey there,

has anyone tried Dragon Age Inquisition so far? I gonna test it this evening but my machine is a mess (fixed on fglrx) so if i run into problems it might be because of the machine.

Test results on winehq are old (latest with 2.0 rc6) and always garbage because of dx11 support.

Due to witcher 3 is about to work better and better I had the hope that dragon age will also work.

So if anyone is able to test it, it would be great :-)

Please note that you definetely need a 64bit Windows 7 prefix, otherwise you even cannot install the game via origin.

Quoting: calfretWhy the mention of Steam? Steam runs natively on Linux, yes? I did not use WINE to install Steam on any of my Linux boxes. I did have to tweak some things to get it to work on my son's laptop running Ubuntu Mate 16.10 as I recall.

Yes, you need to install steam for every game you play in wine to have clean configs, but there is a solution. Found by gamersonlinux, another great site for linux gaming:

http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/how-to-organize-your-steam-games-with-playonlinux.554/ [External Link]

However, I wonder if steam will notice, that a certain game is played with wine, so it will be counted in stats. I recently did a survey under steam wine and in collected system information the used wine version was included. So technically this should be no problem.

Seems that they are mostly finished with dx10 :-) Hopefully dx11 is right after.

I just want to be able to play dragon age inquisition since I was able to play all former dragon age games.

Any news on the dx-issue anyone?

I'm a win(n)er. I don't get you guys: If you play a Steam Game via wine AFAIK steam notices this. This also may be an important indicator for them.

I did a steam survey recently and when I saw the results of my hardware check it did notice the wine Version I was using ;-)

However, I would like gol to investigate this issue. Would be interesting to hear Valve if they are able to see if games are played via wine and if they do count this at least internally.

As someone who is building a fork of SteamOS with Kodi as central Element and being able to install and start games from Steam, Amazon and GOG directly as well as do Retro Emulation, I heavily make usage of wine/pol. This is tje software that enables me to offer Games that currently are not supported natively. BTW Many ports also use a similar technology as wine, so from a technical perpective it should not be a disadvantage.

Please Liam, do the investigation, I mentioned above :-)

What about wined games? In the surveys I can see that it's recognizing which version of wine I'm using. Will this be counted seperately or is it within the 0,8 percent?

Quoting: ShmerlI think this driver looks more promising completeness / features wise: https://gitlab.com/dennis-hamester/scd [External Link]

It would be great if someone would add a GUI for configuring the controller with it.

Configuration seems to be a bit more complicated than configuring profiles for the solution of the article.

However, I'm searching for a more library style solution and due you seem to prefer the solution you linked, I would be interested to have more information from you about this one.

What are pros and cons? For which games did you use it?

I really plan to build a GUI in Kodi and for a qt based overlay. At current state I use the userspace driver of the former article here on GOL combined with qjoypad for Keyboard mappings. qjoypad is great. I played some Games with this like Witcher or Risen 3. But indeed there are also problems like not being able to map a controller button against a keyboard shortcut combo or not having access to Keys above arround 230 which means not mapping to super key.

This is soo great due its configurable!!!

Has anyone figured out if there is some silent mode for just loading profiles? Does it work from cli?

Sounds weird I know, but I don't need the GUI even if it looks great.

OK, i also could fork it. Hope the GUI is well abstracted from logic:-)

Quoting: melkemindIt works for me. I played a little Karboom without having to go through Steam. What I'd really like to use it for, however, is Rocket League and other Windows games in Wine. Unfortunately, that didn't work. In mouse mode, this will be nice for watching movies without having to keep Steam running.

You could use the driver in xbox mode and qjoypad for mapping. This should work. It does for me.
