How do I run a 32 bit windows game on a 64 bit ubuntu machine? My favorite operating system is Ubuntu Linux. My favorite game is Soldier of Fortune 2 which runs on Microsoft Windows. I tried wine about 5 years ago and it totally corrupted my system. I partitioned my hard drive into 2, C: and D: I installed Windows XP on C: and Ubuntu 9 on D:. I installed wine on Ubuntu and tried to install my game which destroyed C:. So I have been somewhat reluctant to try wine again but this time I was impressed. I run Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit on a 32 bit laptop and with wine my game works but rather slowly. The laptop is old and slow. I run Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit on a 64 bit amd pc and with wine my game does not work. Something about a page fault on a 32 bit instruction. There are some complicated instructions about how to compile a 64 bit version of wine which accepts 32 bit applications. Do I really need to do this or is this something that the kind developer is working on? Any comment at all would be gratefully received.
