The problem I am having is that Im getting very low fps for some reason I first started with 13fps now with using envy to update the nvidia drivers its now 15fps but I still cant play cause Its not smooth my mouse pointer moves very slow anyone know how to improve the performance of this. In windows xp with everything set to low and 800x600 res I was getting 19-24 fps and in ubuntu hardy and with the lastest wine im getting 15 fps. Can someone help me fix this problem.
