This is meant as generic instructions in case an AppDB entry
for a certain program doesn't exist.
- Make sure your Wine release is recent.
- Run your program (something like ‘wine yourprogram.exe’, or tell your file manager to open .exe files with 'wine').
- If it gives an error about missing files, or does not start at all, try running it from the directory where it was installed.
- Many newer games contain copy protection, which is often not supported in Wine. Cracks are available from sites such as MegaGames.
- In case of failure, try different builtin, native DLL settings:
Run Wine with ‘WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine yourprogram.exe’ to find out which
DLLs are loaded as native or builtin.
Then make sure appropriate native versions are in the
c:\windows\system32 directory as configured in Winecfg’s DLL overrides tab. There are four options you can choose from when setting
dll overrides.
(native, builtin)
(builtin, native)
(native)
(builtin)
- For sound problems, run ‘winecfg’ and look at the audio tab.
- In case of persisting failure, you may want to read over the
Wine Documentation
and you may also want to read the
Wine FAQ.
- The Wine 'Getting Help' page shows the current methods of getting help with Wine.
