Call of Duty 2, Wine help

[keithwwalker]

I have been having a horrible time trying to get COD2 to run.

I am running 9.04, with Wine 1.1.26.

I could not get COD2 to install cleanly at all. I even tried installing it by going back to an old version of Wine but it hung up at the registration phase - if I canceled registration, it would just hang up, but if I chose registration, it would give a blank Gecko registration screen.

Anyway, I decided to be tricky and since I run a dual boot machine, thought I would just copy the relevant files from one partition to another.

Key question is: Which folders besides Activision do I copy over???

I copied the Activision and overwrote it, and I get as far as:

Winsock Initialized
Opening IP socket: localhost:28960
Hostname: keithwwalker-desktop
IP: 127.12.34.56
WARNING: IPX_Socket: bind: WSAEINVAL
----- Initializing Renderer ----
Mismatched REF_API_VERSION: expected 59, got 60
-------------------------------
Error during initialization:
Failed to initialize renderer: version mismatch.

Can anyone give advice? Or post a way to do a clean install???

Thanks
Keith Walker

Probably a stupid suggestion, but have you tried downloading the demo & seeing if that works?

You can get it here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_10902.shtml

[keithwwalker]

So what specifically would that prove?

I already know that the hardware will run COD2, as I have dual boot and it runs on XP...

It might help show if there was a graphics issue. I'm not questioning the hardware.

You can't just copy things to wine and expect them to work.

Delete your wine prefix (rm -rf ~/.wine) and try installing it again. Appdb suggests that it works fine.

[keithwwalker]

I said in my original post that I could not get COD2 to install when running through wine.

Copying the files over from the XP hard drive partition got me farther along.

Perhaps I will just delete the whole Activision folder and do a clean copy and paste.

You can't copy and paste. The program probably installs registry entries that it needs for startup. It can also install a host of other things that aren't copied over. You can usually do that in linux, but not in windows.

If you delete your wine prefix, there is a good chance it will install and run just fine.

But u can do that in Windows for COD2. You can copy and paste the install folder from say a backup drive to your main partittion and then just run the exe. When u play a game for the first time it "will" ask u to enter the product key, but otherwise it will run fine in XP and Win7.
