Here is my how-to @ Wine-Reviews:

The low framerate and the occasional framerate drop are caused by the screencasting program!

  • how do u get the screen smaller? I have it at teh lowest resolution, but still at full screen

  • Do you mean in a window?

    In Wine = select "Virtual Desktop" at the graphics tab in winecfg.

    In Windows/Wine = Add "-window" to the games executable.

  • It's possible to make Linux look like OSX via mods. Also, check the description

  • Ever heard of SKINS!?

  • No "excrement", Sherlock!

    Maybe I checked it out, it's the same "copy/pasted" text from at least a dozen other sites I've visited on this subject. All of 'em had negative comments on 'em.

    Ps; I know Linux, probably have been working with it a lot longer than you, crapface!

  • if you manage to get your head out of your ass and realize this is linux then there is a link at the description

  • I also don't believe this post, if you've really installed COH on your "linux" (which looks a lot more like OSX: wallpaper, window manager) please share your knowledge with us!

    Keep me posted!!!

  • Ye got the exact same problem

  • what version of ubuntu is it?

    I use Hardy Heron, the game is installed but dont run.

    A messagebox say: "Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for Company of Heroes. Verify that DirectX is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system."

    I dont belive it, hardy heron is the only defective version...

    Help me!
