I do sincerely apologize for the wall of text, here, but I didn't want to leave any detail out, as that tends to make things harder for all parties involved. So, am I doing something wrong? Does Wine need to be configured differently? I'm completely lost, here, and any help would be -greatly- appreciated, thank you. Now after some other games and some reconfiguring, it won't work at all, even if I reset to default settings. Oh! And another quick question-when I first installed WINE, unconfigured, I installed Derek Smart's Universal Combat and it worked fine. And, for example, games like Rubber Ninjas, C&C, SupCom, and WiC all ran smoothly on my first laptop which was similarly specced to this one. In the opening intro, it'll run at around 10FPS for about 3 seconds, and then 60 or so, faster than it ever had on my previous laptop which was actually better than this current one. I would think that it was just my system being slow-I don't have the system requirements to really run AC-but here's the weird part. Command and Conquer: Generals (Zero-Hour).Here's a partial list of the games I've been trying:

Here are my system specs: Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976ĬPU: AMD Sempron SI-42 Single-core 2.1 GHz Now, I know there are a lot of programs that have compatibility issues with Wine but what I don't understand is the slow-running programs part. What worked fine on Windows either doesn't work or runs like it was stuck in molasses. Using this ( ) tutorial for DirectX and downloading Wine 3.5 off of WineTricks, I thought I had everything sorted. I discovered I'd need DirectX to do anything significant, which in turn needed. Discovering I needed Wine to run anything Windows-based.
