Continuum on Linux

[Dennys]

Hey, I downloaded wine and all of that stuff, and continuum plays, but it's really laggy like or choppy. How can I fix this? I went to Advanced Options and selected the bottom 5 choices, but it's still really laggy/Choppy.

 

Whats I do?

You should set the directdrawrenderer to "opengl". I forget how it's done, but for me it made a 150% difference in frame rates. I think it involves using regedit from wine, but I forget the exact key. Google should help.

DirectDrawRender:opengl

 

Also,

 

VideoMemorySize:

 

eg.

 

VideoMemorySize:256

We should have a clear FAQ about this

[Dennys]

This stuff:

 

wget http://subspace2.net/kernel32.dll.so -O /tmp/kernel32.dll.so

 

 

Make a backup of the existing file.

 

sudo mv /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so.old

 

 

install my dll

 

sudo cp /tmp/kernel32.dll.so /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so

 

I don't know where I'm supposed to enter this information. I've only have Ubuntu 9.04 for 2 days.

In the terminal.

You'll find Terminal under Applications or Utilities. I forget, I think that there should be a Debian package download you can grab from http://wine.getcontinuum.com - That will save replacing the kernel32 patched file.

Guys read more carefully...continuum already works on this computer..he just wants to improve performance

you don't need to do any of that console stuff (referenced earlier) as you already have continuum installed and running, thats just to install it.

 

Try changing it to 16bit or 24bit in the options menu (so it matches the bit-rate of your desktop)

Well, if your talking about the Color Depth, I tried changing it to 16, and it's the same problem.

I was wondering, could someone just post simple, step by step way to download Wine and SS and have it working just fine?
