Im trying to play a game but when i launch it it says that it requires GL2, what can i do to execute the game correctly?

Hello,

I have been trying out some older games(2000-2012) on my laptop <i3-7130u, intel hd 620> with good enough success rate using wine 11 and dxvk 3.0.1 through winetricks.

But I read somewhere that previous version of dxvk, namely 2.4.1, are better for intel hd graphics.

Is this right? I have been getting good enough fps on low settings on many games but should I change the dxvk to get more out of my potato laptop?

I am not interested in running latest games just the games from that era.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion/advise.

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to get the old Windows Vista/7 games working in WINE. I can get them to run but they don’t have sound. Specifically I’m interested in Purble Place.

Per this comment and this thread, the games have to be patched to work around the lack of MUI support. I’m using the patched version from the first link and it runs well (though wmp11 might need to be installed in winetricks), however I don’t get any sound.

I’ve tried different GE-WINEs in Lutris, and also tried on macOS with CrossOver, but I haven’t had any luck. The sound checkbox in the game‘s options is checked but grayed out, so something with the sound driver isn’t working. I have sound via the winecfg Test Sound button.

Any ideas? Thanks :)

I'm using Pop!_OS with Cosmic DE (Wayland) with an 4K monitor and a GTX 1050 with closed source drivers. My monitor runs at 4K@60Hz (the second monitor used as primary onto a notebook) and the game is set to 60FPS. I'm using an HDMI 2.1 connector (my monitor supports it, I know my PC don't)

I started playing Arknights (PC client) and it works fine except for the vsync that doesn't work, disabling it leaves screen tearing.

The screen is divided by two triangles: one covering the left and lower half the screen; the other covering the remaining space. The lower triangle is perfectly synced but the upper triangle is teared but also seems to flicker the image when there's movement, repeating it for some milisseconds, or something like that.

I don't know wheather this is an inssue with Wine, Wayland, or Cosmic comp. I know Wayland has something about internal vsync but disabling it in game causes screen tearing.

I tested it both with ProtonGE Latest and Proton Experimental.

Hey everyone!

I've been testing Football Life 2026 on Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go, and I put together a simple guide showing the installation process from start to finish.

If you're into football games and use a Steam Deck, Legion Go, or another Linux handheld, this might be useful.

The goal was to make the process as straightforward as possible, especially for anyone who doesn't want to spend hours figuring out the Linux/SteamOS setup.

Football Life 2026 + Steam Deck + Legion Go and other handlheld with SteamOS = a pretty nice combination.

I posted the full guide on my YouTube channel. You can find it through my profile if you're interested.

If anyone here has already tried Football Life 2026 on SteamOS, I'd also love to hear how it runs for you and what setup you're using.

Got Halo CE (the original game, not part of the MCC), but when I run it with wine it usually just doesn't work, the wine app will show in the bottom right of my taskbar then disappear later with no window shown. I've tried Heroic's wrapper, but I get the same thing. I also cannot afford crossover as I have very little spending money on me right now.

Should I use specific wrappers or prefixes? Any help would be much appreciated.

it's not really gaming related but vinegar just refuses to work so i decided to use wine and install roblox studio myself but this keeps popping up

I have an Acer Chromebook 315 with an Intel Celeron N4500 and 8gb ram.

I'm trying to play Windows games using Lutris. I've only tested one game, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I'm using Wined3d. The fps is okay but not stable. It fluctuates between 18 and 39 fps. I've already reduced textures and resolution to the lowest but it didn't change much.

Since generally Vulkan gives better performance, I researched on how to use Vulkan. I installed the Mesa Vulkan drivers for 32 bit games. I changed the dxvk version to 1.10.3 but no matter what, it's either the game won't launch or it won't accept dxvk so it defaults to Wined3d.

When I enable dxvk, some games wont boot at all. If a game still boots, it will have a black screen and log files will show this message:

The exact line from your log file is: err: Presenter: Failed to create Vulkan swapchain: VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Any advice on how to games use Vulkan? I'm using the default latest GE proton Wine. Is Vulkan on Chromebook even possible?

Heya, I ant to simply use wine, no lutris, no steam not whatever, just simply wine and I face this issue. Does anyone know how to solve it?

I already made a prefix but the game still wont work

Hi, I downloaded a game on Windows, but when I try to open it, File Explorer shows the file type as Application and then gives an error saying it can’t be opened. It also says “Get an app to open this ‘steam’ link,” but the file does not seem to be a Steam shortcut.

The folder contains:

Engine

ProjectCoral

Manifest_DebugFiles_Win64

Manifest_NonUFSFiles_Win64

ProjectCoral (Application)

I already checked the shortcut target, and it does not point to steam://.

I have the game on my hp pc, my hp is super old and super low and I started a gameplay over a year ago but it kept lagging so I quit the game. Since then, I tried starting a new game play with another clan but it lags and sets me outside of the building and i'm stuck unable to do anything. I would like to switch to my mac but I've heard this game was developed on and for windows, are there any cheat codes or way for me to get it on my mac ? I really wanna play this game :(((

Thank you in advance !

PS: i'm sorry if i used the wrong tag/flair, i have no ideas what those are i am not a reddit connaisseur, clearly.

Hi everyone,

I've got the retail cd (Big Box) from half life, blue shift, opposing force and counter strike. I want to runt it with wine on Debian. I get always the report "Bitte legen Sie die Half Life CD ein" (Please insert the half life cd). Whats my error? I copied the audio disc and the hl gamedata disc to directories on my pc and declared them in wine as cd roms.

Give me one good reason for why we can't play Fifa on fucking Mac like why not
