On his core2 duo I would definitely advise against virtualisation.

Scared to use it now that I'm so happy my games work again under 1.5.19. ;-) But, now I know how to downgrade succesfully I'll check it out soon.

For now: Happy New Year every body! :biggrin:

This worked for me, perhaps you should check too? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12429342&postcount=6

Thanks all for the help!!! :popcorn:

Succes with a mix of what your retrievings found in "var/cache/apt/archives" and the commandline pioughd mentioned.

Only I found 4 files instead of 3 relating to the previous version of Wine:

The win32 libraries seem flawed.

Does anybody know how to revert to version 1.5.19...

It seems you are not the only one with the latest update of wine crashing. I've found them all across the boards. The version 1.5.20 definitely is flawed. Check my post here below.

It's not only Eve online. Somethings very wrong with the latest 1.5.20 wine update. Check: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12428159#post12428159

Hmmz. Ok, I'm starting to see a pattern here I don't particularly like with the latest Wine update.

PlayonLinux should make installing games easier.

But did you you try vanilla Wine sollutions for Kotor through the app-db? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1980

Does it still happen if you select "emulate virtual desktop" for that game in the "Graphics"-tab in the Wine-config?

Hmm, yes, now that you mention it. My bad.

But could the mentioned performance benefit through vmware over virtualbox also count for Ubuntu as a host?

Wine offers the best performance.

But if you want to go the path of virtualisation, then VMWare player (which is also free) offers much superior performance compared to VirtualBox.

It seems that Phoronix is quite positive about the performance with this new driver:

Hmmz. Actually that didn't really help. Totally disabling HD Audio disables sound completely. Setting it to AC'97 instead of the default HD audio does work, but also keeps the " Too many connections...

Mileage may vary. But I think it would be wise to check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for each or these mentioned games and the experiances wine-users had with them.

Same issue here. PC specs are in my signature. Totally different system.
