Hi, can the wine version used for a game be changed after install? Or must it be installed again? Example, Skyrim installed from the games list in POL uses wine 1.5.2 I believe, but if I wanted to use a newer version like 1.7.1 like in another poster's thread, would I have to do a complete re install? Thanks

- Install the version(s) you want to use: Tools > Manage Wine versions - Change the version used for a virtual drive: Configure button > (select virtual drive) > General tab > Wine version tip: you can open for former by clicking on the "+" button near the latter place. Also, just remember you cannot convert a virtual drive from 32bit to 64bit, or the reverse; So you can only choose among the installed Wine versions of the same architecture. That's it!

Thanks petch, I knew where to go to make changes, just wanted to make sure I didn't screw the install up. Takes a while to download these games and get them running. Thanks again. |

I have wondered the same thing. I'm pretty sure Wine is independent from your virtual drive. I have never seen changing Wine versions screw up a game installation or library installation. What game are you trying out?

I don't think I ever had issues because of that either; I guess it's possible, but Wine seems to keep a good backward and forward compatibility between versions.

Hi booman, Was going to run Skyrim with the newer version of wine. Haven't gotten around to it yet, probably this weekend but will let everyone know if it works without issues. |

I have a full step-by-step guide on installing Skyrim with PlayOnLinux here: Skyrim Guide
Specs for Skyrim guide Mint 14 32-bit
PlayOnLinux: 4.2.1
Wine: 1.7.1 GeForce 550 Ti (2 Gig RAM)
It ran great by the way!

My version for World of tanks does not seem to want to change, I downloaded 1.7.1-CSMT but am unable to actually set that for the game...
Under wine version for the game it only lists 1.7.12 and system??
Any advice would be very appreciated as I am hoping this will fix my FPS drop from 44 to 5pfs in World of tanks
Apologies - Was selecting incorrect architecture - The correct wine version is now available Edité par bluedevil678

Hi there, new to the forums :)
I have done, step-by-step, what you have mentioned except for Steam and it does not save the wine version when I "5. Select 1.7.1-CSMT" ... For some reason whenever I select another tab or close the Configuration window and go back to check the Wine version, it is still on "System"
Should I not maybe just update the "System" version (I assume this is my standard wine installation?) to the version I want? (1.7.1-CSMT)
Your help is appreciated :)
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Updates installed) and POL 4.2.2 , System Wine is 1.6.2 as per Ubuntu software center..
Cheers :)
EDIT: Not sure if this was an error on my side... removed POL and Wine through Terminal, Installed Latest wine to system (1.7) and reinstalled POL 4.2.2. Reinstalled Steam and it finally showed (in configure) the 32bit "Steam" with the Application under it...
Cheers again

Sounds like you had a problem with PlayOnLinux. Removing and installing again was probably the best solution. I never mess with the "System" version because its there as a "template" I always create a new virtual drive and use a downloaded version of Wine for each game.
