Runes of Magic Forum

I am on a Macbook 4,1 with 4GB ram and X3100 GPU running 10.5.6, and CxGames 7.2.

I am trying to get Runes of Magic to run, and I think it has something to do with wine.

First off, I have a quick question. What is the difference of installing a game into win2k, xp, and vista bottle? As far as game performance goes, does using a specific bottle in-particular matter?

I tried installing and running this game in win2k, winxp, and vista bottles and all yeilded the same result (the pic). I am not running any additional commands to the application (-dx8, -noshaders, etc).

I have also tried tweaking the Direct3d stuff in the registry to no avail.

Here is something interesting though, I keep hearing that it is a hardware problem, but when I tried running the game in another vista emulator, it was black for about 5 min, then it took me the the EULA agreement and the screen looked similar to that of other screenshots from other CxGames users (except it had the EULA agreement box). I couldnt get past this box though because my entire system lagged so bad, but it seems like if somehow there was a way to configure the way CxGames processes these graphics in a way similar to the way my other vista emulator did, there might be a way to get this game to run successfully.

Please, if you dont have anything constructive to contribute, please spare us any discouragement.

Thanks in advanced!

Here is what I see when I start the game.

Here is my reg config.

Hello,
This is sagteck from clubbleach and sag47 on other Linux forums. I'm just making a test post here to see how the posting system works. I'll reply later with my results if/how I get this working. Just letting you know that I'll be running this from Linux and not Mac if I do get it to successfully work.

I'd recommend if those settings are for Runes of Magic that you apply those settings to just RoM instead of every executable that gets run by your setup (which is how you currently have it set up from the screenshot I'm looking at of your registry).
