[Wine] [Mass Effect] I feel myself awfully tired

[PC_Hero]

Hello everybody.

A have spent 20days+nights trying to get my Mass Effect work on wine some way... As you can easilly predict, with no success.

It was hard time with up to 6 combinations of display driver, 24 or more versions of wine and endless chain of winetricks and attempts to do without.

>From the point I can say I am very hard on doing something and with my brains, fingers and Google i've launched many Windows games under Wine: TESIV Oblivion and TESV Skyrim, Amnesia, Archangel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Gothic 1/2/3 (not 4 yet, but i did not want that too much, Gothic 3 - with russian patches from Mighty Dwarf or so, runs very fast according to slow at AppDB), KotOR I and II, etc...

I'm stuck at Mass Effect. There is no idea what else I can do - I've tried everything except sleeping for 3+ month without trying to find a sloution.

Mass Effect installs, runs, I can create character and then on first sequence intro video where there should be a dialog I can only see the Earth on the screen and game freezes. With wine 1.5 I doubled that by getting the loading screen grayscale (switching to 1.4 makes it coloured back). Byt the Earth is still freezed...

Today I've booted to Win XP for first time after many month of pure work with Linux. And it sadistically demonstrated me, that all works fine... I hate it. I will not be patient until victory on that. If you could help me - AWWWRRRR I WANT YOUR ANSWERS NOW.
