Transgaming have per-game forums on their website (

WineX in not very good with normal apps because it is made from an old branch of wine and has been tailored for games.
Getting it from CVS is very easy, but if you are not sure, use this script:

#!/bin/bash
export LauncherVer="3.22"
# Configuration

# Vars
export CompileRootDir="$HOME/temp/winex221"
export ErrorLogFile=""
export ConfigurePrefix="/usr/lib/winex221"

export AlwaysRecompile="1"
export ScriptName="winex221"
export ConfigDirName=".winex221"
export StripBinaries="1"

export CVSCheckOutDir="wine"
export CVSoptions="-d

if test "$1" = "proxy"
then
echo "Enter proxy (eg: proxy.pandora.be:8080):"
read http_proxy
echo "$http_proxy" > $HOME/.GetWineXproxy && echo "info stored ..."
exit
fi
http_proxy=`cat $HOME/.GetWineXproxy 2>/dev/null`
test -n "$http_proxy" && export http_proxy
Upgrade="0"
if test "$1" = "upgrade"
then
echo "Upgrading Helper script ..."
Upgrade="1"
shift
fi
export GetWineXName=`basename $0`
function CheckOK ()
{
if test "$Upgrade" = "1"
then
if ! rm -f "$GetWineXFile"
then
echo -e "Could not remove $GetWineXFile\nAborting..."
exit
fi
elif test -e "$GetWineXFile"
then
Test=`tail -n 2 "$GetWineXFile"|grep "#end"`
if test -z "$Test"
then
echo "Helperscript incomplete, getting new"
if ! rm -f "$GetWineXFile"
then
echo -e "Could not remove $GetWineXFile\nAborting..."
exit
fi
fi
fi
}
GetWineXFile=`which GetWineX 2>/dev/null` ;CheckOK
if test -e "$GetWineXFile"
then
GetWineX $@
exit
fi
GetWineXFile="$HOME/bin/GetWineX" ;CheckOK
if test -e $HOME/bin/GetWineX
then
$HOME/bin/GetWineX $@
exit
fi
GetWineXFile="./GetWineX" ;CheckOK
if test -e ./GetWineX
then
./GetWineX $@
else
mkdir $HOME/bin/ >/dev/null 2>&1
cd $HOME/bin/
echo -e "\n\nGetting helper script ... please wait\n"
if wget http://ting.homeunix.org/GetWineX
then
chmod +x GetWineX
./GetWineX $@
else
echo -e "\n\nCouldn't download .. Try again, and/or contact ElmerFudd"
echo "For manual download:"
echo " Goto http://ting.homeunix.org/cvs_wine/changelog.html"
echo " Download GetWineX, using the link around the top"
echo -e " Put it in <home>/bin/ and chmod +x\n"
echo -e "FEATURE:"
echo -e " If you are behind a prosy, try this:"
echo -e " $GetWineXName proxy"
echo -e " after proxy info is entered, just run again as normal.\n"
rm -f GetWineX
fi
fi
Just paste that into your favourite text editor and save it. Then 'chmod +x' it.
This script has the added bonus of allowing you to install CVS WineX and straight wine side-by-side, which would seem to be ideal for you.
Hope this helps.
What game in particular are you trying to run?
