![]() You will also need some other packages so I suggest to switch the systempackages to those from his repository (see screenshot). You should be able to download his Mesa here (although at the time of writing there was a problem with OBS and it gave an error). ![]() I had to install the experimental Mesa drivers developed & maintained by Johannes Obermayr in his home project. Most of the problems turned out to be related to missing openGL stuff. Turns out error messages like "Can't load Data.dll" or Put the DVD in the drive have little to do with the actual problem. I wanted to play Warcraft III and it took me forever to get that working. Not enough for windows games in wine, however. That gives you 3D effects with Compiz/GNOME Shell/KWin/etc and some other basic openGL stuff. Gaming with WineI'm going to assume you managed to purge the proprietary NVidia driver from your system (yes, this can be quite hard actually) and have nouveau installed and working already. I'll be waiting a bit until it is all more stable until I play that game more. I recommend enabling the sysrq keys and using REISUB to avoid data loss. Read more here.ĭoes the game work with Nouveau? Sure, but I experience occasional instability, as in - hard freezes of the system. It mixes now with other sound as well so you can play music while you frag away. It is simple: start et with "aoss et.x86" and that should already take care of it. Update: I didn't know about aoss which provides an even better solution for the sound. Modprobe snd_pcm_ossThat should give you all the auditory gore you need -) Zypper in alsa-oss alsa-oss-32bitthen add to your /etc/rc.d/boot.local: Oh and you can forget about running both a music player and RTCW or another game which requires this compatibility, won't work. You need to install the alsa-oss layer and make sure you have the kernel stuff loaded for oss. You want sound? And you have a modern Linux? Your game depends on an ancient sound driver system called oss. RTCW and similar old, closed games Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Linux. Both with and without Nouveau, by the way. Doesn't for me, unfortunately - despite spending more hours on getting the game to work than I would play it this year.Īnyway, let's move to some (Wine) Proprietary-Gaming-on-Linux tips you'd need. Which, according to Wine's App DB should work fine. And if I could, I would be playing a third game: Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. The second game I have to play through wine: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. One is natively available for Linux and these days even Open Source: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, an online 1st person shooter. I play two games, each of them approximately 6-7 times a year.
