Linux Gaming: Trackmania Nations Forever (with WINE) on Ubuntu

NOTE: The screencasting performance on this game was terrible. I don't know what caused it, maybe this RecordMyDesktop version. The game runs fine on very high settings (without motion blur) otherwise!

Specs:
Wine version: 1.1.9
Linux dist: Ubuntu 8.04
Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB 169.12
Intel E6550 (2,333 GHZ) OCed to 2,8GHZ
2 gb RAM

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

That's really weird. What graphics card do you use?

Do you have any bad network settings that may interfere? What does the console output say?

In Linux with Wine?

You should not use recordmydesktop for 3D games. More than happy to send pointers. Yes, my version looks a bit different ;)

I can't seem to get car sounds to work (engine, crashing sounds). All other sounds and music work though.

How'd you get yours to install? it started up fine, but when it came to the extracting section, i just froze. i kept on starting it over and over but it does the same. Im running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy w/ Wine.
