QuakeLive in Wine 1.1.15

[Filmorependrgn]

QuakeLive works now fullscreen, but disconnects after a few mins...

Be sure to set your game to play in fullscreen. It disconnects me before the practice match can end.

Well, I managed to get 95% of QuakeLive working.

Here's the brief rundown:

I grabbed a bunch of winetricks
(EDIT: It now works without DX9)

 $sh winetricks msxml3 dotnet20 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1

And copied the following from a windows XP installation of mine (EDIT: no longer needed?):

* secur32.dll
* dnsapi.dll
* rpcrt4.dll

and stuck them in my .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 directory. You also have to go into winecfg and set library overrides for secur32, dnsapi, and rpcrt4 (`native then builtin' will do)


Then I installed Firefox 3.0.6 and Flash Player 10. Then installed the QuakeLiveNP.msi with the following command:

wine msiexec.exe /i QuakeLiveNP.msi

I also had to nab an update for PunkBuster.

Viola!


The game grabs the mouse, and the sound works (you can hear mouse-over effects)... but the video isn't coming through yet...

[binbash]

I have same problem.Video is not coming

Edit: I think I mis-read. IGNORE ME.

That's a good attempt there. Thank you for this information. You can follow vanilla wine developments concerning quake live here:

Seems to work now if you use Fullscreen. But I keep getting disconnected before the practice match can end.

that whole disconnecting before the match is over was fixed with an update to there site.

Still happens for me (May 2009, Wine 1.1.20). I cannot finish the training game because it interrupts.

I followed the instructions here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...sion&iId=15796
