[B]Wine gives exceptions until renaming native windows games "movies" folder[/B]
 
Long time i started using Linux.
and now i want to stop dual booting and using windows.

it's the gaming that hold me back. But I started using wine.

Games run smoothly but after some tweaks.

but i noticed that, most of the games gives error such as:
Unhandled Exception

it only goes away when i rename or remove any ingame movie folder. you know the one that has the stories about the game plot.

This issue is just lacking the gaming experience.

Why do i have to rename the movies file?
Is there a way to heal the problem?


Any help is appreciated.

You can hang around https://www.winehq.org/ and check the Application Database. There's also a way there to report which programs work and their various quirks if they do work.

Why do people always withhold the name of the game they're running?

Is it Warcraft III?

If it is, don't rename the movie folder. WINE handles it fine these days. Assuming you have a current WINE, GPU, drivers, etc.

If it's not Warcraft III, which game is it?

Also: the way to get cinematics working with Falcom's games (Ys series, Trails series, etc) is to install "quartz", "amstream" and "xvid" with winetricks, use winecfg to disable winegstreamer in the DLLs section, and use "wineboot -u" to make sure it takes effect.
