Hello Guys

I installed Sims 3 with PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu. Everything worked but there is no text in Sims 3 at all. Like on this Screenshot.

My System Configuration is:
[list][*]Intel Core 2 vPro 2 x 2,4 GHz
[*]Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller -> Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset (Driver: i915)
[*]4GB RAM
[*]Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit
[*]Wine 1.2[/list]

Wine gives the following error:

It may be not solvable. Did you try to disable anti-aliasing both in game and in operating system? In general try to lower every setting in The Sims 3 to see if text is visible.

Hi!

I have a question. Exactly HOW do you enable S3TC? :)

Start driconf through terminal. Just type its name and press enter. S3TC is under the "Image Quality" tab. It is the first option.
