I'm trying to run NFSMW via WINE, however, running the file results in the screen resolution changing, and the program crashing. Running it via the terminal gives this output:

Rep:
what kind of graphics card are you running?
For both Need for Speed Most Wanted and Need for Speed Carbon, will install with the Intel gaphics but will crash when launching. I have tested under both Linux and Windows with the same results.
When I looked at the officail EA Forums for both that is a bug that they are aware of but have no intent on fixing.
Maybe someday, someone might be able to compile a patch that will let them run but intil then...may mean having to get a new graphics card.

All I can say is that it might be worth a shot. The only thing that I am sure of is like I said about the Intel graphics.
I'm also still learning when it comes to Linux. I have had some classes but not very good teacher, so that has left me having to learn things on my own via what I can find on the web.
Ahh, that's okay. Anyways, I couldn't D: I never realized my motherboard had only PCI and AGP interfaces. Hmm, well, I might invest in a newer motherboard. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Thanks anyways!!
