Fedora Core 2
Winex 3.3.2
Prefetching is off.
Call of Duty 1.4 (but does it with any version)

I used the installers from here: http://liflg.sourceforge.net/

I get this message after the Call of Duty splash screens opens, then the game goes fullscreen then straight back to the desktop with the quake console and this error.

"Your version of Microsoft Windows(tm) does not support Call of Duty"

I've tried various entries in my wine config where Windows = "win2k" but doesnt make a difference.

Here is the terminal output in case.


# sh /home/nexx/cod/codmp
fixme:heap:GlobalMemoryStatusEx we should emulate the 4GB bug here, as per MSDN

Sorry meant to post this in the Linux Games forum

If somebody could move it please

I had been looking at your question for a few days. With the installer that you linked, did they install a DX* package, or emulator?
I know transgaming uses a DX* emulator, and if the LOKI installer uses a DX emulator that would be your problem. My suggestion is to delete the game installation. try to install with WINEX. then try and run the game again. If this doesn't work, uninstall WINEX - reinstall WINEX, then install the game with WINEX.

1: You can install from the CD using WINEX cd mnt/cdrom -or- cd /cdrom
winex setup.exe
some games will require you to change CDs to continue the install

Open a XTERM window and issue these commands-
unmount mnt/cdrom -or- unmount /cdrom
<-- please consult your documentation, for the mount point of the CDROM file system under your distribution of LINUX.

While installing it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to reject any requests from the installer to install 'new' versions of Microsoft's DirectX multimedia system. WineX cannot properly coexist with Microsoft's DirectX implementation.

2: cd TransGaming_Drive/Program Files/Game/
winex Game.exe

I've taken this from the Transgaming installation FAQ. Since both TRANSGAMING and LOKI were two different solutions to get Windows based games running on LINUX, it wouldn't be advisable to use both. Loki systems is obsolete or out of business aren't they?


BTW have you been able to play other games since installing COD?

Did you uncomment the windows= line?

Hmmm - are you sure you are using WineX? That GlobalMemoryStatusEx message should not be in WineX: if it is it means they have been stealing code from WineHQ (i wrote that message and never gave them permission to use that patch)

hehe seems you're right.
Because i had both wine and winex installed, the script was using wine.
I edited the script to use winex3 instead and all is good

Thanks guys!
