Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[hype]

Hi there,
i'm starting this thread after following this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319196

So here is the issue:
i purchased COD: modern warfare 2 and downloaded it through steam using wine 1.1.32.

If i choose to start the game, i get a quite minimalist error message
"Installation incomplete", with the following url: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...-9932&l=french

I followed this guide, which provides infos about ports to open on your routeur in order to have steam network working properly: same error message.

Lastly, i tried to start steam in "offline" mode:
after stating the game, i dont get the error about "incomplete installation", some plugins or components are installed, and it then stucks at directX installation.

Anyhow, the game wont start.

Note: i've just finished COD4 modern warfare on this same wine installation a few days ago, and it works like a charm.

Good news !

After following these steps

from console run “wine regedit” and then:
- in HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Wine create, if it's doesn't already exists, a new key named Direct3D
- in Direct3D create the following strings with the following values:
string: DirectDrawRenderer value: opengl
string: OffscreenRenderingMode value: fbo
string: RenderTargetLockMode value: auto
string: UseGLSL value: readtex
string: VideoMemorySize value: (memory size of your graphic card)om winedb COD's page:

and installing latest wine 1.1.33 update through wine ppa team, the game works perfectly !

I play at 1680*1050 without issues.

Just small glitch i have noticed, sometimes i get a black screen while videos are playing background (i can hear the sound of the scene): just quickly press alt-tab and click on-screen, you'll get back to the game.

I didnt test multiplayer yet.

Good to know! I might have to pick this one up then... What is your frame rate like in game? Also be sure to add a post to the appdb if you haven't already.

create some registry files that are easy to add

I attempted all of these solutions without succcess, I am still unable to play this game due to the same error. Any additional insight would be wonderful. Running Ubuntu 9.10 and Wine 1.1.33.

I get this error when i try to install MW2 (Wine-1.1.33)

Runtime Error (at-1;o):
Cannot Import dll:C:\windows\temp\is-65JOQ.tmp\isskin.dll

Trying finding a "isskin.dll" from somewhere else and dropping it into your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 folder and then setting it to a native DLL override in the WineCFG

Going back to the OP, I also just completed an attempt to install the game on a Windows platform and transferred the game over the network with the same error as before.
