Need some help with WINE

[Adel Ahmed]

First of all, I have to say I am really impressed with wine, I had no idea it would be so windows-like(yeah I'm still in that phase)
secondly, I play a game called blades of exile, I have 2 problems, the first one is the fact that the save command takes so long(3 seconds as to the 0.1 seconds windows takes), my guess would be the save takes time because it writes to a file(on my ntfs partition, would it make a difference?) I'm pretty sure a 1997 game is not processor intensive
my second problem is that fonts are too edgy, is there something I can do to smoothen the fonts?

Thanks
Adel

well I'll wait then I guess I don't need the font smoothing
also for some reason sound stopped working in games
really odd
