Hey guys. I'm very new to Wine. Very. I've pretty much just installed it. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and upon seeing many videos on Youtube such as "Team Fortress 2 On Wine!", seeing it run flawlessly, and I thought I'd give it a go. Now, I'm using the Dell Studio 1555, which has pretty awful graphics. It is a laptop after all. I managed however, with a few mods I could get Team Fortress 2 running full frame rate at correct screen ratio and medium graphics - on Windows. I thought I could then run it on Wine with very small ratio and lower graphics, and I would be fine. I wanted to test run it first, I ran Macromedia Flash 8, worked flawlessly. Then I ran Steam. Pretty bad response time with everything. But, before wasting bandwidth and time, I thought I'd run a smaller, easier game - just to see what it was like (after Steam ran badly). So I tried Plants Vs Zombies. I got like 1fps. Yikes. Is this normal? PvZ can run on 100mb of RAM on Windows 98. Also, I tried Civ 4 and AoM. Both just crash before starting. So please, am I doing it wrong? Are there any settings or something I need? Or is it just not going to work? What about PlayOnLinux - will that give me better results? Any help will be much appreciated! -The Cat
