running games with wine - gta3, 1nsane, quake3

ungua · 02-01-2005, 04:45 PM

though having nvidia-drivers installed correctly and the standard-version of wine, none of these games will work.
quake:

Quote:

cannot load default.cfg

1nsane:

Quote:

fatal: cannot initialize stringtable.
file missing error @ line 0.

gta3:

Quote:

unhandled exception

is there anybody who is able of giving me hints how to fix these things? shall i unpack the pak0.pk3 in quake? i've found some things in google, but none of these issues is displayed complete or i just don't get it. 1nsane is one of my favourite games, i just use games to shut off my brain.

best regards and many thanks

edit: p.s.: the 1nsane-screenshot shows a phenomenon that occurs rather often: even though i choose to make a screenshot of the whole screen, sometimes the thing i want to have a screenshot of won't appear on the actual file, while it is shown inside this screenshot-program.

Perhaps you should start by finding these apps here, http://appdb.winehq.org/

edit: i am talking about comments like this:

You can install Quake3 Natively on linux. You have been able to for a long time.

You need to install the linux point release and then copy across the pak files from the CD.

do i need to become a member at the linked site to be able to download?
