Hello,

I just move from Windows XP to Ubuntu 14.04 to my Lenovo 3000V100, instalation goes very good and works a lot better than Windows. So I start to install my games and see if they work, after I try many times I get them to work and I have the following issue. on CIV IV the game start well, until I select to Play It just get SLOW and I mean SLOW like 5 to 10 minuts to show the graphics of the game, then is so slow that I can not make any move or actually play, my computer use the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. Any Help will be great. Thanks

Try to switch to a newer Wine version (default is: WORKINGWINEVERSION="1.1.43" ).
