Battlefield 2 Crash

[Tumpster]

Hey there, I'm loading battlefield 2 up on wine and when I run it it dies as soon as it clicks over. It shows the BF2 sign and kicks over to what would eventually lead me into the main menu and game but when it does it kicks right back to the desktop. What is causing this or how can I fix it? I have the current nvidia drivers loaded.

My Specs:
AMD Opteron 145 Dual COre
2gb PC3200 Ram
XFX 8600GT XXX
320GB HArd Drives (2)

I'm not sure if BF2 actually works in Wine. I've overheard that noone has been able to get it to work.

If that's false, please someone let me know. I wouldn't mind seeing it work either :)

I'm no expert, but it is depicted as working with Cedega, which I think is a Wine type app...

Found this in the Crossover forum...

Oh, and about compatibility. Battlefield 2 does not run in codeweavers nor does it run in the latest verison of wine. But for those of you that are interested in getting it working, it does work in Cedega 6.0.2. It installed and ran great just like in windows XP.

It appears to have a problem because of the copy protection. The cd check it runs at the very start of the game fails (hint... hint)

I attempted an install in cedega and it still crashed back to the desktop! Any ideas?

Have you tried using latest Wine and the AppDb? http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3438

[Tumpster]

Yes I've got latest wine loaded along with all updates. Any ideas?

Bump?! Anyone at all?

I saw it working in previous versions. But there are some nasty regressions that killed it.
