Running the game with Wine

byron4444

<div class="IPBDescription">Anything that is up-to-date? Tutorials?</div>Just wondering what the current status of getting the game to work with wine is. Last thing i can find <a href="http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22032&iTestingId=73279" target="_blank">online</a> is that someone got it to install and run, however I am having a bit of trouble emulating the scenario (mainly getting the DirectX stuff figured out).

Has any progress been made? Anyone currently running it using wine? Any tutorials out there or tips?

Thanks.

Haven't gotten it working. Menu system don't work - have to connect via console..and once i get in i only have a black screen and the UI. Sounds seem to work though!

Going to try various Wine versions to see if it helps.

Edit: The screen flickers between black and the view. Seems like mouse input is not working in game, but cursor moves when in the menu.

Tested r_stats and I got ok framerate(40-70). Empty server though, so I'd expect it to get a bit lower with more action.

To sum up:
Sound: Ok
Graphics: not working
Menu: not working
mouse input: not working
keyboard input: working

Going to test more settings in wine.

Probably a Flash issue. Try the flashless menu mod.

The menu does not use Flash anymore.

Oops. You're right. I knew they had begun phasing out flash but for some reason a console command confused me.

People have managed to do it with crossover. Theres a tutorial for linux and mac that might work, I myself haven't been able to do it but heres the link: <a href="https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=5822;tips=1" target="_blank">https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/b..._id=5822;tips=1</a>

That linux guide is old, and wont work. I had to do some tricks to get as far as i did in the first place, and its not mentioned there. Some mvscp80 librfrary i had to set to native or something.

Ive managed to make the graphics flickers almost go away by testing various settings in "playonlinux", but still haven't got mouse input to work. I'm doing a reinstall soon since my linux install is kind of bogged with too many display and window managers ive been testing(couldn't stand unity for long)....guess i'm going for a clean Xubuntu install since XFCE seems to be the best choice for me. Maybe my mouseinput issue will magically go away at the same time :p

The linux version could be the same. if not here are some instructions:
install DirectX 9, DirectX - modern (something like that) and Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 redistributable then follow the instructions suck as the HKEY_CURENT_USER things. It should work good luck.
