Problem with WINE while playing Microsoft Train Simulator

[senbagaraman04]

I have been using Linux for the past 2 years.With my Experience(though very small),i found that windows applications/games can be used/runned in linux via an application called WINE.
I downloaded Microsoft Train Simulator Game From internet For my cousins Windows Laptop,but i still have the copy of the game.i tried to play in my laptop using WINE everything went fine,but when the game starts the 90% of the game screen moves out of my laptop and the background image also got splitted and i cannot able to exit the game ,i just turned off my laptop.

will I able to play this game on my Linux Pc.

Other Details:

Name of the game: Microsoft Train Simulator
Name of the Laptop: ACER-GATEWAY NE56R
OperatingSystem: Linux Mint-17
Processor: Intel B960
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics
Screen Display: 15.6"

Please help me to run the game.

Thank you Mr. Flemur ,but that page ( https://appdb.winehq.org/ ) tells that the game(Microsoft Train Simulator) is doesnt compatible with wine.
Is there any other way to play the game on my laptop?

Is there any other way to play the game on my laptop?

"playonlinux" is a front-end for wine, but probably wouldn't make a difference; just makes some things easier (supposedly).

Another way is to run windows - a full install, using disk space - with "virtualbox", which is non-trivial to setup, but IIRC is documented pretty well.

Thanks for the reply

I tried Play On Linux,but the same problem mentioned above exist.

also my laptops processor does not support virtualisation

processor: Intel B960 Processor

In the Wine Configuration, click Graphics Tab, then check "Use virtual desktop in fullscreen windows"
Also set your desktop size to match your Linux desktop resolution.
Then launch the game again and make sure its resolution is also the same as your Linux Desktop.
This way it will appear fullscreen.
I do this for every game I play in Wine/PlayOnLinux
It captures the mouse better, fits fullscreen games better and even makes it easier to kill a crashing game.
