Call of duty 4 3D/OpenGL issue

[phasee]

Does Cod4 run ok online? With punkbuster and the 1.5 patch etc?

[ahaslam]

It runs perfectly on line. Punkbuster doesn't run from within Wine, but there are plenty of servers that don't require it. All of the game patches apply cleanly & run well, though the newer the revision the fewer the servers. So just disable PB & make the choice between # of servers & updates.

@ algoe: have you found success with a newer/alternate vga driver? If so share for others in the red team

It didn't work with 0.9.54 with or without the patch.

[ahaslam]

0.9.55 no? Thanks for testing it. It's not surprising that 5 releases down the line the patch no longer applies. However, they should have applied this by now. As it can't really be reported as a bug or a regression (unless the patch applied), please report your findings on the application database (it's back up now).

To get it running though, follow my guide. It took some time you know

I have made .deb package of wine 0.9.55 version with 3DMark patch. If someone need it, I can upload it on rapidshare.
I made it with checkinstall, so I hope it will work on other computers.

[ahaslam]

So .55 works well with COD4 for you?
PS. I wouldn't recommend sharing checkinstalls, personal use only IMO.

[Milos_SD]

Yes, it is working for me with .55. Why wouldn't you recommend sharing checkinstalls?

[Sockerdrickan]

I'd like instructions how to patch the vanilla 0.9.55 code Milos_SD

[ahaslam]

Standards, control & compatibility.

Download patch from here:
http://bellegueulle.damien.neuf.fr/progs/3dmark.diff

And copy that file to wine source folder. Then cd to wine source folder in terminal and do this:

patch -p1 < 3dmark.diff

Than just do ./configure
make depend && make
and sudo checkinstall (or sudo make install if you don't want to make .deb)
