HAYNES'S PROFILE

author=mtarzaim
Sorry, didn't work with mine ...

First, I didn't found winetricks in the Ubuntu library.
Maybe it's the main issue.

Second, the game (here, Drunken Paladin) crashes à la Windows (the program has encountered a serious issue and must close).
If I disable the sound in Wine, I get a "Failed to initialize DirectX audio", and the program stops immediatly.

I tried it on Ubuntu 10.10, Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz 392 Mo RAM nVidia 8400 GS.
I know, it's an old machine, but that's the point of Linux: make useable what isn't anymore with Windows.

You should also give the Wine configuration used.
Mine was the standard one. Maybe there's something to tweak in it.

Thanks anyway for your work. It will help the Linux gaming community to widen.

the wine configuration is the standard one.
And afaik winetricks should be in the standard ubuntu repos. If not, you can try adding the ppa from winehq.com (Will get you newer wine versions too)
The error failed to initialize DirectX audio is probably because directx9 was not installed.
That's what the Script does. It installs directx9 and tells wine to use the nativ dlls from it.
(You can open the script with a text editor to see the exact commands)
