    C&C Generals - Help

    I've been trying to get C&C generals working on Ubuntu. At first I had wine 0.9.29, and the game loaded but some textures were missing. Then something happened and now, the splash screen comes up, but I get the following output and then the game closes. I rolled wine back to 0.9.28, but the same thing still happens.

    Code:
    tnunamak@tnunamak:~$ wine '/home/tnunamak/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/Command & Conquer The First Decade/Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour/generals.exe'
    fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hi you might try the loki installer. It worked for me though with cedega but it might work with wine to http://liflg.org/?catid=7&gameid=21

    Thanks, I ran across that earlier but I can't use it because I'm installing from the C&C: The First Decade, which is a collection of all of the games. It can't find the correct path to install from.

    i've been tryin to install generals too, no luck. i always get stuck at 60% then error. i think this only works on cedega. is there a list of popular pc games that work on wine, or crossover, i'd buy that if i could play Generals

    Guys, I've had success with this working by ripping the cd to the drive and installing from there with wine version .9.33 (the latest as of this writing). i did need to add a msvicrt.dll to the folder - you may or may not. see if it complains
