Congratulations on getting it working -- guess you'll have to be careful what you throw into the pot in future :-)

BTW I made a post on the Star Trek: Starfleet Command forum a long while ago about the game working on Linux: https://www.gog.com/forum/star_trek_starfleet_command/starfleet_command_with_linux

It's strange, but you mentioned having to use a virtual desktop now, as do I, but when I originally tried it, I had it running full screen.

The post just fails same as exceeding the character limit. I don't think I've tried the images.
I would prefer a new thread to that. I doubt it would last long enough in General to get all the placeholders in. Realistically it would take at least two days.

The bigger question, to you & everyone else, is how much are we missing the AppDB & CrossOver links in the main posts? It was nicer to have them, but all the entries should have them included. It does make the ratings seem less useful.

I didn't say it's needed... I just didn't try without it as I always enable virtual desktop as a default setting (I don't like letting things change the display resolution).

There is one other option- You start the thread, and then alternate posts with someone else until you have enough. And then someone from GOG deletes the other user's posts leaving only yours there. I don't think they're really needed; as you said, they should already be linked to from their respective posts (and hopefully the info in the posts here will be enough that heading over to WineHQ's AppDB to hunt for more info won't be necessary).

Cheers. That makes sense with what I was remembering. I want to say Diablo II had issues with some 2 GB cards (too much), but I could be wrong about that.
One of the things DandoCalrissian was hacking into his Wineskin wrapper was additional GPU detection. Apple likes to use a different renderer string than Linux. I still don't see [url=http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/HEAD:/dlls/wined3d/directx.c#l1994]HD 5000 or Iris(?) listed[/url]. A number of the more recent Intel's [url=http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/HEAD:/dlls/wined3d/directx.c#l1382]have their minimum as 1024[/url]. The most basic fallback Intel has 32 MB. If Wine is sticking you with that than no wonder.

Sorry, I sort of misunderstood then. I used to have the game working full screen, but hadn't played it for a while, during which I'd had two or three Wine updates.

After that, it just kept causing problems, until I constrained it to a 1280x1024 virtual desktop. Worked perfectly after that.

I don't mind not having games in full screen mode, just so long as the window's large enough to be seen comfortably. :-)

I agree. Posting it all here without updating Wine AppDB is counter productive. Most people will never see these reports, and they'll think there is no fresh information about those games. So please everyone - spend some time and update AppDB even if that process is not as smooth as it could be. That's where people are actually looking for compatibility info.

...soooo, anyone tried Bloodlines yet?

Yes, see the announcement thread.

For the reference, I have 1920 x 1200 too, and Wine worked OK for me for Bloodlines without virtual desktop.

Well, it had to be asked: any word on Evil Islands/Rage of Mages/Rage of Mages II?

Great news. I wish more games that didn't already work perfectly in Wine got ported instead though. :)
