I'm trying to run a program(BeamNG.drive) on Wine 1.6.2, and there seems to be a problem.

See, here's the thing: I can actually get it to load most of the way. But just before it would have finished loading the stuff I need, it just crashes.

It essentially says something along the lines of: "D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY , out of video memory, failed to allocate dynamic VB.". Right around that.

From what I've read, it sounds like I need to increase the video memory, but how exactly do I do that?

I did manage to find this:

http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

But it doesn't seem to be terribly clear on how to actually fix certain problems. For example, I don't have a DirectX folder in my HKEY registry, anywhere. So what do I do now?

You can set the video memory size as your graphics card supports with winetricks like this:

winetricks videomemorysize=2048

2048 is the video memory size in MB.

You may need to install winetricks:

sudo apt-get install winetricks

256mb, no wonder you ran out of VRAM, thats nothing, you are trying to ru a REAL TIME PHISICS SIMULATION you have no chance, please review the minimum specs

Minimum spec

CPU: Dual-core processor RAM: 4GB GPU: Something better than integrated graphics (at least 512MB Video RAM) Windows 7/8 (32bit or 64bit)

  Recommended spec

CPU: Dual-core processor (Intel) or Quad-core processor (AMD) RAM: 4GB DDR3 GPU: GTX 560, Radeon HD 7790 or equivalent and above (>1GB Video RAM) Windows 7/8 (32bit or 64bit)

   High end sys req.

CPU: recent Quad-core processor (Intel) or recent Eight-core processor (AMD) RAM: 8GB DDR3 GPU: GTX 670 or Radeon HD 7950 or better (>1GB Video RAM) Windows 7/8 (32bit or 64bit)

I know the minimum says 512mb, but realisticly you need a modern (no more than two years old) 1GB dedicated video card.

See something like a GTX650, to get good performance.
