Linux Gaming: Oblivion (with WINE) on Ubuntu Video 1

[TheMitsaras98]

nice gpu, i have the same :)

[awkwardaznx]

My Oblivion just crashes on startup

[clownbabydiode1]

Linux is better, i like being able to customize my operating system to the highest levels of detail

[patu8010]

Yeah, but you have to type long commands to the terminal. I've got too much thumbs to use Linux full-time.

[MrNumeroid]

@RetroShinigami For the lulz

[zombierehab]

Fuck this shit i hate linux. its for fucking pedos. i wish i never fucking got it

[igrewold]

@zombierehab it takes time to learn but once done you become a self-taught guru.

[xyz98741]

MASSIVE performance loss under the shitty bug ridden wine. As you can tell.

[MrNumeroid]

@xyz98741 lol Obviously, Linux sucks

[cthulhu2e]

@MrNumeroid

>implying Linux sucks

[MrNumeroid]

@cthulhu2e implied - Suggested without being stated directly

Yeah, I pretty much said directly that Linux sucks

[xyz98741]

LOL The resolution is DEFINITELY 800x600.

If you use the same video card on Windows, you can easily run it at 1680x1050 or higher under ULTRA settings. What a joke.

[OceanTango1]

okay,it still runs BUT im back to windows xp.

what about mythbuntu?some referees on it?

bye,Sonja

[renatoprofilebrazil]

I have a PC with Linux Ubuntu 10.10, Intel Core2Duo 1.6 GHz, 1 GB ram and 256mb intel gma!

GTA 3 is very slow on my PC, will I did something wrong in configuration? I need to install DirectX 9 on Wine?

[Maul9999]

@renatoprofilebrazil

You already have directX 9 installed. It look like you need upgrade RAM and Video card. I would got Geforce 9800 and 4 GB RAM for better picture and smooth.

[xomanowar42]

@renatoprofilebrazil

becouse your setup isnt good enough, 1 gb wont cut it

[xyz98741]

@renatoprofilebrazil Windows runs GTA 3 flawlessly. Use it. Prick.

[Gigamonkey2]

does this work with the steam version of oblivion game of the year edition, also has anyone gotten sacred 2 fallen angel to run with WINE

[runescaperandoms1998]

help me what do i type in help

[runescaperandoms1998]

what do i type in i cant see it

[jagger1865]

hello i am having trouble when ever i try to open it up with the exe or sh it opens but it closes and my desktop is stuck at 640*480 resolution please help.

[OceanTango1]

how will i install "oblivion" on linux kubuntu?

need held,pls!

[VfxGodOfDK]

@OceanTango1 You just need Wine :) And if that doesn't work, PlayOnLinux might work, but try Wine first :)

[jakeaboulafia]

this looks cool. nice vid dude :)

no fullscreen?? if there isn't - can you at least increase the size of the window?

[Fisaren]

yes you can

[jakeaboulafia]

o okay cool thanks man :)

[Fisaren]

and you can also play fullscreen if you so like :D

[IbeeejayI]

yeah, i cant get oblivion to run, the loading starts up i press play and the screen flashes then nothing happens

[Petrionvitunkomea]

Same problem... ;_;

[spizec]

@IbeeejayI Did you ever get this to run cause i'm having the same problem?

[IbeeejayI]

@spizec Its been a while but I think I did get it to run but not on WINE.

[shibotto]

Poor performances with my GeForce 8300 GS (as expected), I only managed to run it at reasonable FPS at 800x600 and it still lags a lot when I'm outside in the grass (all I can do is blindly cast spells XD).

[wuhlei]

that's pretty good my geforce 8500 ran bad in windows 640 x 480

[victorfalini]

works perfectly on my ubuntu 8.10

[HayaLaHaya]

Cool! I'm getting linux. The hell with XP!!

[Gunnchief]

Can I use Oldblivion on linux also?

[DaweyYT]

It crashed with seg fault for me, and I think other people also have reported the same thing. I haven't looked in to the thing.

[Gunnchief]

Can I do this with Oldblivion too?

[lilcojack208288]

yes! i can play my favorite game on ubuntu!

[lilcojack208288]

this is some good shit

[kaltsinho]

nice work.5!!!!

[igneousphantom]

your fps looks a bit shaky for your system specs, but I assume that's because you're having so much I/O recording this video.. When you're not recording, is it drastically smoother? Or are there still framestudders?

Also, are you playing this with everything cranked to the max settings, or what?

[emanuele123456789]

i play oblivion in full screen. Perfect graphic better of widows -.-

[WARP10CK]

Ehh i prefer linux to windows also but how can it be better graphics ? or did you mean that it ran better on linux?

[DaweyYT]

Yeah, I also wonder what he meant. I guess he meant to say that it runs better and with higher graphics in Windows?

[DigitalWebOwner]

I'm pretty sure he meant that he can play full screen in wondows... ^^

Well some guys have really high common sense XD

[gstarttrustguest]

im new to hardy xubuntu and im trying to play wow...i have wine and wow installed...but it doesnt work is there ne1 that could send me a message or something preferably baby steps :) lol

[metasuperhyper]

hmm... sweet. one question: can WoW be run under wine?

[teren9]

WoW can run PERFECTLY under wine

[DaweyYT]

Yeah, it runs very good when you activate OpenGL instead of DirectX in WoW!

[AFreakinProblem]

WoW usually runs BETTER under WINE than actual Windows.

[Astrapogiannos14]

What are you talking about? I have this game and it runs much better on windows. Pretty similar specs.

[DaweyYT]

Astrapogiannos14, what game are you talking about? WoW or Oblivion?

Of course Oblivion runs better in Windows because it uses DirectX 9 and is heavily dependent on the GPU.

There is a very high probability that WoW runs better because it uses OpenGL and is very CPU dependent.

So please tell me what game you are talking about. ;)

[Astrapogiannos14]

Ah i though he said Wow as in Wow this runs much better on linux. not wow(world of warcraft).

On the topic: You are of course reffering to the mac version of Wow right?

[DaweyYT]

Now, I'm talking about the Windows version of WoW, running through Wine.

[Astrapogiannos14]

Proof?

[DaweyYT]

I don't have any proof, all I said was that it was a high probability because of it's use of OpenGL (no OpenGL-> DirectX calls in Wine = better performance) and that it is very CPU dependent (you can play WoW with a quite bad GPU if you have a nice CPU). I don't play WoW so I can't do any benchmark. But I didn't claim that IT IN FACT PERFORMS better.

[wuhlei]

mac version runs on linux?

[DaweyYT]

No, no Mac binaries run in Linux.

[wuhlei]

so there is some performance increase on older directx and cpu dependent games?

[lejonicom]

Oblivion runs great in Wine now!.

I have posted a capture with sound playing hide and seek with the guards of anvil :)

[jjamendoza]

wow even with recording it looks playable. AMAZING

[0cton]

to bad i have an ati witch provide bad drivers :(

BTW do you need to install directx also via wine?

installed it with wine-doors but doesnt help much, yes hope for new drivers soon I and for DRI2 :)

[keytoothed]

Anyone who bitches about "dropped frames" in this vid is totally fucking dumbass. You cannot make any judgment on dropped frames on a goddamn youtube video--not if you know a thing about the compression process. Great vid. Thanks for the post. Fuck Micro$hit.

[DaweyYT]

Thanks! Recording a video in 1680x1050 resolution to the OS harddrive while playing a graphics-intense 3D-game require some serious juice from the computer. :)

[Jhedan]

Can it be ran decently at full screen??

[DaweyYT]

Well, you should expect a lower framerate than in Windows, but yeah, it should run decently in fullscreen. The reason I play the game in a "virtual desktop" is because I like to multitask. :)

[stevieistheman]

FPS looks bad...

[DaweyYT]

Well, it might have to do with the fact that I record with a 1680x1050 resolution and saving the file on the system disc. : )

[kadragon0]

I'm looking into getting linux and morrowind/oblivion are the only games I play. Is it true that WINE doesn't support HDR, AA, and obse mods?

[0cton]

wine has nothing to do with mods or software

it's a compatibility layer, it runs pretty much everything
