punkbuster error on soldier of fortune 2


I have successfully installed winex from cvs. After much tweaking with the config file and downloading some dll from the net, I was able to install Warcraft RoC and TFT successfully also. Both of them worked great and I was able to play on battle.net. Then I installed Sof2 fine. I was able to play the game online the first time without a probelm except there was no sound. I went in the wine config file and enabled full duplex mode and that fixed the sound issue, however when i play online now i get kicked from punkbuster enabled servers saying that it couldn't load the opengl32.dll file. I don't think it is the sound fix that is doing this. I believe when I went online first time with sof2, it updated pb which I read while googling said that it kicks ppl using winex to play sof2. I was wondering if anyone knows a workaround to this or am i just stuck with this error in sof2. Thanx for any help in advance. I really would like to get this game working under linux because I love it so much and I get about 30 more fps than in wndows . I am able to play online for about a min, and then it kicks me.

Punkbuster doesnt work with wine.

But if you delete and disable pb u can play on servers without pb (if u can find any).

So is there any way at all to play on punkbuster servers? It seems like there would be a way to trick PB into thinking its on a xp machine. Maybe they could add into wine something that would respond whenever PB wants info from the system, and to reply with what PB is looking for. I have many friends that play on SOF and on PB servers, so i'd like to get it working as well.
