the year of linux gaming......... it's finally here.................

hmmm.... it seems that bioshock actually runs fine under wine unless the 1.1 update patch is installed..... weird!

why can't i hyperfocus on stuff that's actually important instead of useless things like making a video game run thru wine

well i've spent basically the whole day trying to figure out what causes bioshock to crash/not crash and now its 5am and i still have no idea what's going wrong

aaaaaaaaaaaaand now that's crashing too

what the fuck is going on here

i googled around about these memory errors and found a thread on the wine forums about being unable to boot the game unless it was run thru the .lnk file included in the installation, so i figured i'd try it out just to see? and it has booted 5 times in a row without problems now??

i just, don't understand why that would work? isn't a .lnk just a shortcut to the exe??? windows is clearly beyond my comprehension

i spent ages getting bioshock running under wine... when it runs, it runs great, but whether it actually starts up or not seems to be a coin flip, and if it doesn't start up first time it wipes all the game's settings (resolution, keybinds, etc)

it'd be nice to know what's causing this but the crash report just cites some attempt to write to a memory address out of range? not exactly helpful

@ whoever decided to call the wine gecko package "wine_gecko" instead of "wine-gecko": fuk u

cutting code length while improving functionality is so satisfying
