Wine latest version

[steve7233]

I need to upgrade wine to 1.5.24 or whatever kUbuntu has above 1.5.18. I can't find it only 1,4 shows up. Is there another repo. I can add? I am tying to install LOTRO and the win AD. says: As of October 15th, 2012, with the release of Riders of Rohan, this game is broken on versions of wine prior 1.5.18 , resulting in this error:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000034 at address 0x6d3fd2 (thread 0024).

Thanks.

You could try either Play on Linux or just read this:

Thanks. I now have wine 1.5.24. I gota goto bed now so I will install LOTRO in a few hours. My brother is comming over tomorrow to play. I'll use Kubuntu 12.10/pylotro and he can use that fake operating system called winblow$. Lol. Directx looks like crap compared to Open GL on a good gaaming rig anyway. The gaming companies are beginning to notice and admit that now! Now that Valve/Steam is doing Linux, I am waiting for Electronic Arts to see the light. I might be able to finally get Windoze off my computer's hard drive!

The gaming industry has always known and admitted that OpenGL is technically superior but Microsoft marketed DirectX very well, provided better support and often paid companies to use their tech. Microsoft literally bullied OpenGL into second place for the gaming industry. For technical applications, OpenGL has and always will lead the charge.

This is proved by what Valve found out while porting their source engine to opengl, in the matter of a few months they where able to increase the frame rate of Left 4 Dead 2 under Linux to quite a bit higher then under directx under windows. All this despite spending year and years working on optimising their engine for directx. They also managed to improve the frame rate under windows during the port, but still not as good as opengl on Linux... Who ever said Linux is no good at gaming

Carmack, a man known for being probably the most talented developer in the gaming industry endorses OpenGL. Well at least he used to. I think late 2011 he changed his mind and said that the Direct3D API was finally better. I feel the reason that Direct3D finally overtook OpenGL was really just because OpenGL has always been hampered by comparability concerns whereas Microsoft don't mind breaking things.

I just wish intel would fix the open GL driver that Ubuntu uses. I can't play team fortress on my Intel GMA GPU becaausse there iss sometthingg wrong that caaauses a blaank black screen to appear at launch! Sound but no video. Yet Solar 2 works just fine.Other gamess with Itel GMA report they same thing but Vavle thinks its the Intel open GL driver. >

I think my keyboard driver needs tweaking. Fresh install of 12.10.

Intel GMA is a disaster but any of the Intel HD graphics are amazing in terms of drivers. Heck Intel GMA are so pathetically weak that apart from a netbook I can't see any use for them. The Intel HD3000 was the first intel GPU that could actually play respectable games with acceptable performance.

Yeah, no offense Steve, but any serious gamer wouldn't rely on an Intel GPU. That's just the way it is right now: If you want to play, you have to pay! Lol, I crack myself up...

The intel GMA 45 work fine in most games, Even in Windoze it plays Fable III. In Kubuntu it won't play TF2 but I read on the Steam TF2 forums that I need OpenGL 3 and:

steve7233@steve7233-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
steve7233@steve7233-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$

I found this but i'm not sure I should install it.: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/libqt4-opengl , should I install this?

Regardless of whether the GPU might be capable, the driver does not support it. Your driver supports up to OpenGL 2.1 and that is unlikely to change. That package will not change the situation.
