[SOLVED] Colin McRae Rally

[Rytron]

Has anyone got Colin McRae Rally 4 to work in wine?

If so, how?

Its gold, so should be fairly easy to get running.

I checked out that link. For Ubuntu 7.04 was tested and the result was 'garbage'. For other Linux distros like Gentoo is was platinum.

I will stay with using Colin McRae Rally on Windows XP.

Hello,

back then the things might have been more hard to install, yet today things have advanced a little.

Since this thread is popping up a lot about how someone can install and play colin mcrae rally on ubuntu, I would give my thoughts.

There are successful attempts both on wine and crossover linux. I guess that the best would be the crossover one, as it can simulate windows reboot, which is needed for a successful installation of the game. Also windows media player 9 is needed as well for that game.

Since some jerky graphics and deterioration of your screen might arise, the option of resizing windows via wine (inside crossover 9.x) might solve any remaining problems which impediment your viewing of the game on your ubu box, which is mentioned here:

Thanks Claus7. I tried Colin McRae Rally 04 a while back on PlayonLinux and it was near perfect, the audio was a bit bad and the graphics were not completely smooth. I may try POL again.
