ok so ive done some testing and i turned off the effects.. it seems if i use the desktop shortcut. env WINEPREFIX=/home/aaron/.wine/ wine C:\Program Files\EA Games\UOKR\UOKR.exe it crashes in a few minutes.. but, if i open a term, go to the UOKR folder, and type in wine UOKR.exe it will run for several hours without crashing.. any ideas?
