FIFA 08 on Ubuntu 9.04 with Wine..

FIFA z one game i play usually.. I decided to try it out on the recently installed Jaunty on ma laptop.. Installed Wine 1.1.20 and then installed FIFA 08..

initially i found it unable to play it fullscreen... I tried to change the resolution of the game but in the game settings nothing like that could be found. Hmmm.. I did a bit of googling and finally got the solution..

At first, I set the Windows version to VISTA.. Then, from the graphics tab, I unticked the " allow window manager to control the windows" and ticked the Virtual desktop option and set the resolution to 1680x1050 ( ma lap lcd's native resolution) .. Now I once again ran the game...

The game started once again within a small window but now inside the virtual desktop.. Now when I went to the game settings, I could edit the resolution.. Default resolution given was 640x480.. I edited it to 1680x1050.. The game now went fullscreen.. :D.. Menu selection etc. were very smooth..

Now I went to kickoff for a match between Arsenal and Liverpool.. The game loaded and started..

And now.. the game is running at may be triple the speed it should be.. the players are running at crazy speed.. I couldnt fix it by editing the game speed setting to SLOW..

If someone knows how to fix the game speed, do tell me.. As for now, the game is unplayable..
