So, apparently there's a bug in the Nvidia Pascal architecture video cards that make G-sync not only unusable on Win7, but also adds a shitton of lag. FML, I guess I gotta have Win10/Linux Mint dual boot instead of Win7/Mint, which sucks because Win10 is a wack of an OS.

I've been trying to get a single game (that isn't DF) to work under Exagear. None of the games I've tried even remotely work. They just crash. I've tried installing DirectX, and they still don't work. I'm pretty sure that the only games that would work on this thing need to not require DirectX or OpenGL. Ugh.

wierd, you probably know stuff about this, do you know how to get them to work?

I don't know what version of the software you have...

Does it have the "manage container" option?  If so, manage your container, then run winecfg from the run dialog.  Use it to set wine overrides and reported windows version.  Use the guide information available from winehq where applicable for your title.  Bear in mind that the version of wine bundled is 3.0, which is rather old...

Also, what are you trying to run under it?

Version 3.0.1, but modified to remove copy protection.

Also, what are you trying to run under it?

It's a mix of 'games from the late '90s to the early 2000s' (Category A, as I'll call it) and 'games that aren't' (Category B). I was throwing shit against a wall, hoping that something would stick, essentially.

Category A: GTA: SA, Portal, Diablo, Diablo 2, Quake

Category B: Plague Inc: Evolved, Prison Architect, Undertale

Diablo 2 will probably work after being pushed to version 1.13b, and with appropriate MPQ files copied. (has built in no cd patch.)

I have a good many of those, and the next few days off... I will do some experiments for you.

(edit)

3.0.1 is the version I am running, so that should be grand.  A heads up though, just about everything with a GOG installer has worked for me under it so far.

I bought myself Kerbal Space Program two days ago. Since then, I already accrued 23 hours of playtime. That's 12 hours a day, sitting in my chair and hunching over my laptop. I feel awful, physically and mentally.

Reminds me of when I first bought Diablo 2 back in ~2000, on a Friday afternoon after work, and kept playing and playing, then realized it was Monday morning and i had to go to work again. I had not slept since Thursday night. Part of my job was to address envelopes, and more than once I passed out in the middle of writing a name on an envelope and there was a line of ink that just veered right off the envelope. That day was the most tired I've ever been in my life.

It's a bit strange, then, that I've been using the GOG installers (where applicable), but still get crashes. I don't get error logs most of the time, but I did get one for Diablo. Couldn't export it to a text file, so here's an image:

well, i will test with my iso backup of my original cd.

OK-- Diablo 1 has known issues with wine.  I will try diablo II.

Yes.  My disk based copy of Diablo 2 + LOD + 1.13b patch + manually copied D2xmusic.mpq  totally works in exagear.

Instructions are convoluted--

1) Copy the contents of each of the 4 cdroms into folders in your downloads folder, the copy in the 1.13b updater.
2) start exagear and run explorer on the container
3) run winecfg, and add drive paths to each of those folders, and set type to cdrom
4) Install the full game, enter cd key
5) install the expansion, enter cd key
6) install the update
7) copy d2xmusic.mpq from the expansion disk folder into the diablo 2 folder created in the c drive.
cleanup-- remove drive letters, delete stuff in the downloads folder.

undertale demo tries to run but then exits with "unexpected error"


Games I know for certain run:

Zeus+Poseidon (GOG)
emperor rise of the middle kingdom (GOG)
Pharaoh + cleopatra (GOG)
Starcraft + Broodwar (CD versions, after updates and manual file copy)
Diablo II + LOD (CD versions, after updates, and manual file copy)

Now testing if wizardry 8 (GOG) works.

Wizardry 8 (gog) kinda works.  Needs manual fiddling to set it to sofware render. mouse pointer does not track well, would probably work better with a real mouse connected.
Gonna test Anvil of Dawn (GOG) [LOL, forgot that this is wrapped dosbox! It installed, and tried to run. Slow as all hell, but funny also.]

Testing Heretic II (CD based)

Protip: you don't really have to floss before sleep. Or brush your teeth. Or wash. Or undress.

This is why getting dressed in the first place is a mistake.

I'm so ashamed to say this but, a casserole my mother made today when I came by after work has left me feeling nauseous ever since. I cannot get the taste out of my mouth, it returns with every belch I make, which are frequent. And it's a nauseating flavor I cannot stand. She enjoyed the dish perfectly fine, so I assume it was actually quite good. She's a great cook. I've always been a picky eater. But this hell will not leave my taste buds alone. I have eaten and drank normally enjoyable food/drink since, and it has ruined them for me and offered no relief.

I die.

Today (Jan 6) was the last day of Christmas break. I return to the halls of high school in about 8 hours.

Edit: changed Dec to Jan.

Dec 6? I think you need more vacation.

Damn, you got a time machine for Christmas? Jealous!
