Need For Speed World in GNU/Linux

Hi,

If you refer to the wine wiki page you will get to know that wine tends to work well with simple or an old version of progs, for games which is your case here, only those listed in their silver, gold or platinum list will work well with wine. You can refer to the wine application database on this page and see for yourself :

WineHQ – Wine Application Database

So if your game isn't listed there it will, unfortunately, not work for you with wine. But you still can try with a Win OS on a virtual machine.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks!

If you do not have Wine than download it from here:

• https://www.winehq.org/download

And also install it. Then you have to open it from, Accessories > Wine file.

You will see a window like this:

Then just go to the folder where the installer is and simply double click on the installer file (example: setup.exe).

Then you will see installation wizard. Like this:

After the installation, use wine file browser to find the program, and simply click again.

Your application will open in a second.

Another thing is that you can also find wine in Linux in Synaptic Package Manger mostly installed.
