Hello,
I have been having this error pop up when I start playonlinux.

Message:
You don't seem to have 3d acceleration!
We advise you install and enable it.

OS: ArchBang x86_64
window manager: openbox + xcompmgr
playonlinux 3.8.12-3

nvidia-utils 275.09.07-1
lib32-nvidia-utils 275.09.07-1

I have been on the archlinux channel in irc for days trying to fix this. Today I was told to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I found out that my 3d acceleration is enabled.

I figured that I would try it anyways and see how it performs. Steam was not really usable at any level.

I want to play on linux! I've done it before on older hardware, a notebook no less! This hardware should run everything well too!

Help me please!

You're probably missing mesa-utils and/or ia32-libs, check those two and install them if it's not already done :)
