Two different wine? =/

Post by ayu »

I noticed something very odd with Wine yesterday....

If I start Battlefield 2 from "wine" in the right click menu, I get an error from the game. But If I use "Wine Windows Program Loader" from the same menu, it loads without any errors."

And if I load the game through bash with "wine game.exe" it gives me the same error.

What is the difference? or more exactly, where can I see what commands the right click menu issues with the different wines? :?

if you write wine game.exe your wine try to open without any opengl options.
but in menu it's like that: wine game.exe -opengl ... or automaticly gives a argument for game options.

ah! thank you!

solved a lot of question marks :D


EDIT:

hmm, *bump*, it's odd though .... when I try to start a game with just writing wine FEAR.exe -gl -gldrv Default

or something, I get an error just like when I try without -gl -gldrv .... but with using the "long version" of the right click option, works T_T, so what is the difference? =/

Yeah I know....but BEFORE I used to get "unable to initialize client engine" when I used "wine fear.exe", and when I used the right click option it worked. But for some seriously fudged up reason it works now.

Anyway, can't I check the right click command somewhere? I mean the option that it uses is stored somewhere, I just need to find it =/

I bookmarked the thread and will check again tomorrow, right now I don't have time to google it out because I got my favorite type of customer emails again...you know, the ones starting with "could you....".... :lol:

I have never used wine to be honest, isn't there some kind of log for it? :-k

@b_b: Well, yeah I get the terminal output when running the games, but the info is pretty useless at the moment ^^

I don't like Windows, and since I can play in Linux, then what's the point? ^^


@visser: check the Linux gaming thread (it's stickied so not hard to find)

why not dual boot if it is 10x better instead of having to use wine?

does daul boot cause more vuln in your system?

I am testiig out the super grub menu thingy B-B suggested but it des not seem to be working, i think it maybe a user error

itzm3: Because I can live with not getting to use full graphics in every game. Besides, the games I play are so old, so that I can use full graphics anyway when using wine. And the issue is still the same, I don't want Windows! :roll:


Oh and remember, wine is not an emulator (just thought id point that out)
