Sorry but you didn't make that very clear.
You can't turn it off? :s
Bizarre. But your card is good for nothing but powering a potato so...

There is no way in hell Blockland is magically more stable in WINE.
Placebo.

It's been proven somewhere that some programs combined with Wine work just as good or better on Linux than Windows. Anyways, I didn't know Torque supported Linux, espicially how old the engine is, that's pretty cool. I don't think we need full Linux support since the whole game works with Wine, if anything we could use a dedicated server but someone has discovered to that as well. Someone also stated there are a lot of different versions, Badspot could just make it for the kernels based on Debain, kind of mean but those are the most used. (ubuntu, Linux mint and maybe some others)

No no, Blockland isn't unstable because of Windows. I've only ever had crashes related to iffy add-ons or the host screwing with the game-- anything else is likely to be hardware / driver related.
There is no reason why that crash wouldn't occur in Linux.
And if anything does happen to run "better" in WINE, its not WINE I bet-- probably just because there is potentially less bloat using Linux than Windows, so it is shown in performance.
Feel free to share some research into this, I am indeed curious.
