what's going on?!?!
You need to copy mfc42.dll from a windows installation (HINT, its in C:\WINDOWS\system32) to the /home/[username]/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 dir or the setup will error it could not load pidgen.

[allenbradley]

Or you could try winetricks (http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks), which helps you download loads of dll's you may need.

Hhhalo? On P.C.? haha just kidding man I've been contemplating getting Neverwinter Nights just for something to do have you played it yet?

i don't have a windows installation though... :(

[lolman]

do you think that google has the file somewhere?

You may want to try reinstalling it through PlayOnLinux (http://www.playonlinux.com/en/) though its an "easy" button its allowed me to install Steam and Wow with no problem. Good Luck.

Using the game with the -useff flag (aka in fixed function graphics mode without any shaders). The game would perform even worse than it would with shaders, AND various geometry would disappear entirely, including characters.

There are a couple of different versions of halo for the pc. I would take a look around on winehq.com and see if there is anything else.

[lolman]

oh ok thanks.
