wine users - Sep 2008 - Only 1 more thing to switch to linux - Trackmania

Is there a way to make this game work under Wine, becouse it doesn't wok
(TMNF) and it is one of the last things that stops me from moving to linux 100%
Well, I install it normally (double click) and everything, but when I press
Start game it crashes and nothing works.
My computer:
- Up-to date Ubuntu
- Core2Quad Q6600
- ATI/AMD radeon 3870 - restricted drivers
- 4G of RAM
- I've tried with CompizFusion On/Off but same resolt.

That is probably because of the Starforce copy protection.

the game work perfectly under wine
have a look to the AppDB
And welcome on GNU/Linux

Depends on what version she's talking about. There are several Trackmanias
listed on the AppDB, some run, some don't. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackmania#TrackMania_Nations , some versions use
Starforce, some don't.

ok you speak about UNITED forever (TMUF and not the free TMNF) [Idea] 
Never tried  [Embarassed]

Sorry for being late on response but here I am.
Thanks for answers, but still doesn't work, I have also tried with those 4
of 5 dlls (i can't find ThumbGbx.dll) but still,...
second: I have downloaded preinstalled version of Yu-gi-oh games for my little
brother, and they, all 3 works 100% with wine - i am so grateful.
So I am asking myself if there exist a version of TMNF that comes in a folder
that I just run (let's say) TmNations.exe and it directly in game. I called
this stuff preinstalled versions.
If you have any more ideas on howto please post here.
