Issues running a game in WINE

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Everytime I try to run Sonic Adventure 2 I keep getting a program error and it stops trying to run it in Steam, and in San Andreas everytime I open up the game it works but the screen glitches out to the point where I cannot see anything whatsoever, and when I run it in a virtual desktop I don't see anything at all, it tries to run the game but it just freezes up the desktop for a while, the virtual desktop not the actual Desktop. I know Linux isn't the best for gaming, but is there something I might be able to try? Like Band Aid fix's, I can't dual-boot Windows at the moment, I am not able to buy a product key, so Ubuntu is basically what's keeping my PC from being a paper weight right now (frankly after I get passed the learning curve and the intimidation of the Terminal I kinda prefer Linux) I should have the latest WINE-Staging and I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, anything newer makes this old piece of hardware run really really slow. Both of these games are on Steam.
