Working from Command line but crash from icon.
Monopoly (shake and Roll doesn't work)
Monopoly Classic works only through terminal. If you create a button, it crashes at loading the board or resuming game. Second go to Options -> ShaketoRoll - OFF. This game also stores the saved state. Now go back and enjoy the game lol
That, or you can change the permissions of the corresponding game save and settings files. That way, you won't have to run them through xterm every time.
For The Sims 3, chmod 777 the ff:
res_sims3
res_sims3/sim3set
For Need for Speed Undercover, chmod 777 the ff:
res_nfsuc (don't know if this is necessary, though)
res_nfsuc/gamedata
res_nfsuc/gamesett
Tx mate, that did it. Now my ingame money and upgrades are saved.
@ all with "Monopoly Classic" troubles; what version number do you have? I tried (all?) three versions, and this is what i got (all running "from icon" btw):
v20.0.35: game crashes when loading board
v20.0.37: game loads board, but crashes when opening the "settings" screen
v20.0.40 (latest version?): game loads board and opens in-game settings screen, which you need to disable Shake to Roll
Shake to roll doesn't work in any of the versions i tried though. But the game is perfectly playable without, if you disable it
So if you have any problems; make sure you have the latest version installed, maybe this can solve some of the problems...
Btw, I have version 20.0.40. Before doing this, if I run the game through the app menu icon, it crashes after changing settings or after playing a new game. Running the game through xterm and sudo gainroot is ok for me (but not recommended).
Oh and also, Shrek Kart 1.1.1 doesn't work. It starts up and all, and it doesn't crash, but it's unplayable during the race itself, because of missing graphics:
