Bug ID: 36062 Summary: Age of empires - Forgotten empires does not work with Nvidia drivers but it does with noveau. Product: Wine Version: 1.7.16 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: info@justdust.es
I'm using wine 1.7.16, nvidia drivers version : 304.117 my nvidia card is GeForce GT 440 Ubuntu 14.04 but also tested on ubuntu 13.10 64bits
If you launch the game with a fresh install of ubuntu 13.10 or 14.04 with noveau drivers it works perfect.
But if I install nvidia drivers other games like diablo 3 works better than with noveau with wine but Age of empires 2 - Forgotten Empires (probably other aoe2 versions) stop working.
It launch the game menu (deoesn't resize properly, you can press start button to start a game but then the game freezes or works ultraslow.
I think this problem started a few versions ago of wine 1.7 but I can't confirm.
