Unhappy Testing GameTree Linux with BF-Vietnamn but no CD found.


Anyone here tried GameTree Linux?
I got an old game, Battefield Vietnamn, that I want to test in GameTree Linux but it seems that it can't find the CD/DVD player.

Running F16x64 and just installed GameTree without flaws.
As I'm trying to install BFV it can either search for a setup file or I can point it out
but if it searches it can't seem to find the CD even though the OS both popsup and a sound is heard when the unit is OK,
and if I point to the location of the file /media/BFV_1/Setup.exe and click the button 'Install' it just goes back to the previous page and no action happens on the D drive.

What a I doing wrong?
or isn't GameTree Linux working at all nowadays.

Game Tree apparently hadn't been watered or gotten any fertilizer in a while...

not SOLVED as the name says but....


btw, is there another "project" that has BFV working?


btw2, Thinking of buying CrossOver, it ain't that expensive and with even though I don't want upgrades, it can handle the games I got now so...

Did you look to see whether it is able to run under the stock Wine?!?! You have the options of using your Distros's version from the repos, or getting it from the Wine project's website...

Check that out first.

I tried wine,playonlinux etc etc yes but no luck
This is a wierd problem and it might be a local problem here on just this machine, so forget this.
If I can't get it to work....... that's that
