My son is dying to play Skyrim. (Yes, it's that important; death looms<br>
unless and until he can play it.) I've installed Steam and Skyrim via<br>
WINE and even the trial version of Codeweavers. The game appears to<br>
install correctly. There is an error message/warning about not having<br>
DRI enabled, though a `glxinfo | grep rendering' shows it is.<br>
Everything appears to work until I try to launch the game. Every time I<br>
get a SkyrimLauncher.exe error.<br>
<br>
Anyone here have any tips for getting this to work? I've found lots of<br>
tips for other problems but none for this exact error.<br>
<br>
On a related note, what's up with Steam? Why are so many games<br>
installed through another application like that? Bleh.<br>
<br>
BTW, my son appears to be in stable condition at the moment, though that<br>
could change. It's dicey. :-)<br>
