I have no idea how to uninstall 64 bit wine, can anyone please help?


I do not use Ubuntu so these are general directions:

Using the drop down menu in the bar across the top of your screen you should be able to get to a package management system - Ubuntu's version of add/remove programs, I believe it is called Synaptic. When the window for that opens up type "Wine" (without the quotes) in the search box. All the programs related to wine should show up after the search completes and you can scroll through them to see what is installed on your machine and what else is available to install.

By looking at either the titles listed or the descriptions you should be able to figure out if the Wine you have installed is the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version. If it is the 64 bit version, mark it to be removed (or uninstalled, I'm not sure what wording they use for that). After it is removed you can mark the 32 bit version to be installed and apply that. Then try the game again and see if you still have trouble. If so you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling your video drivers and testing the game again, sometimes new Wine installs will confuse the drivers but a reinstall should fix that if it happens. The drivers should be able to be done through the package manager just like Wine was.
