The Sony launchpad runs fine and updates the game.  When play is clicked the game does launch with music and background image – though immediately crashes after a few seconds.

Wine Windows Version: XP

I tried the replacement d3dx9_36.dll override as suggested by others though no change

This game sounds very close to being playable – so if you can help with this game PLEASE COMMENT :)

RUNNING THE GAME:
Rose Online launches fine and the client downloads the latest updates without issue.

Once in the game-world everything appeared to be working fine. I played for around 20 minutes without issues.

Windows Version: XP
Wine Library Overrides: gameoverlayrenderer (disabled)

Just downloaded the .deb installer which launches the Ubuntu Software Centre and then asks to launch Steam to complete the installation.

A Steam launcher icon is added to the desktop – I ended up with 2 as I have my WINE steam icon there – so I renamed one to Steam Linux

Once launched the 111MB update download starts

Once completed the familiar add account / existing account screen pops up

Once logged in the subscriber agreement shows as usual and Steam also detected my outdated Nvidia proprietary graphics driver.

So I dutifully updated my drivers, installing the latest experimental 310 drivers for NVIDIA

The game fails to launch.

Basically whenever the power cable was plugged into the laptop my gaming graphics slowed to unplayable… but when unplugged the games run fine… the opposite of what one would expect!

I did find a lot of posts saying to set the Windows laptop video power settings to Maximum performance etc – but that didn’t work – others said it was the adapter = NOT!

So after trying everything on every forum, I finally went into the NVIDIA control panel as a last resort and LO AND BEHOLD! = a separate setting for Power Management Mode under 3D settings… set that to Maximum and all fixed… sheesh, should have gone there first and not bothered with Google…

It appears the NVIDA graphics chip ignores the Windows power settings in favour of it’s own settings.

Hopefully this article will help others find the solution that worked for me = fixing the problem of slower performance and low framerates when their power cable is plugged in…

Game On!

Fun platformer / puzzle with some unique gameplay.

WINE SETTINGS:
No wine overrides were required. Windows version in winecfg set as Windows XP

RUNNING THE GAME:
Vessel installed Direct X on first launch which completed fine. The game took awhile to launch to the home menu – so be patient. From there the game appeared to run fine – though was stuttering a bit until I turned off Vertical Sync. After that the game ran perfectly.

PROBLEMS NOTED:
Some game stuttering fixed by turning off Vsync

Isometric alien shooter. Nothing too original – but fun if you have time to waste…

WINE SETTINGS:
No wine overrides required. The game would not launch unless I removed all overrides from libraries – though left the steam overlay rendering override active. Windows version set as Windows XP

RUNNING THE GAME:
The game launched minimised for me – clicking the app in the panel opened it and everything ran pretty well.  A little graphical stuttering when lots of explosions / effects – though tweaking graphics might help (turn off post processing etc)

PROBLEMS NOTED:
Some game stuttering – long load times

NOT TESTED:
Multiplayer co-op mode
