Well, I finally did it, I switched to linux, got tired of all the windows crap. I was thrilled to see that many people can get SOD to run on linux.. but I am hitting some issues myself.... Stats of my comp:
AMD 1.8 Athlon (yea old I know)
Radeon 9800 SE
Nvidia Nforce2 audio
plenty of harddrive space, generic monitor, mouse, and keyboard
Recently installed Ubuntu 7.04, completely updated, installed wine, copied the old install from my 2nd harddrive over to the one that has linux installed on it (into the wine cdrive folder) I have disabled luclin models.
I run SOD by going into the terminal to the directory and using "wine eqgame.exe patchme" and I get flickering text, the rest is good, slow run time, loads up and logs on alright, but VERY slow response on the mouse, and ALL text shows for a second, then is gone for about 1-2 seconds, back for a second... etc Slow runtime in game also.... All I did for this session, was log on, stand there for a moment, and log out also for this session I decided to try logging in as root, as I was getting other error messages about a creating a socket and needing administrator access the message disappeared once I did log in as root. I am getting these responses in the terminal:
The error messages seem to say that my Video drivers are insufficent/not up to date, but I downloaded "envy" as was suggested in another post and attempted to install those drivers, it said they weren't right for my computer, I forced it to install them and then ended up rolling back to my old drivers as the GUI couldnt even start after that.
I have tried it with several different variations, but for that run I ran with sound disabled (I disabled the drivers in wine, did not disable it in Game) Emulate virtual desktop (1024X768, the resolution my desktop is at already)
Allow directX apps to stop the mouse from leaving the window is on
allow the window manager to control the windows
Vertex Shader support is on none, allow pixel shader is off
Windows version is set to Windows XP.
I hope I have not simply made a dumb mistake, I am usually very fluent in windows OS, but linux is a whole new ballgame.
Thank you all for your help in advance, if you need any more information then let me know and I will fetch it.
