I bought RA3 today and started the Wine installer as usual, opened up the disc and did autorun with emulator, and it takes me to the license key stage, and then it installs, and hangs on the last little bit like normal. However, I can't start the game, nor can I start the EADM, because whenever I run RA3.exe with Wine, it gives me the splash screen, waits about 7 seconds, and then tells me "The Game cannot start. The licensing server cannot be detected, check connection blah blah blah."
Does anyone know if this is an issue with my EADM that I need to reinstall it, or is there something about the game that it doesn't run well with Linux?


Btw Slack 12.1, LAN, 8800GT w/drivers.

So... can I be helped or do I have to either install XP on my other 500GB HDD or go back to Vista which for some reason is prone to crashing and risk not being able to finish games?
