Hello! I have installed Wine 0.9.55 (pretty sure of that) on my Mandriva 2008. I tried to install the game GUN from Neversoft. (It works fine on windows Vista). On the distribution it says that it is compatible on Windows 2000 and XP. But when I try to install it it seems to work, but when I try to run it I get an error in a popup. Right now I'm at office and do not exactly remember the message. But since I really would like it to work how do I find out what is wrong? Is there any logfiles or anything I can look into? Btw The game GUN is listed under Browse Apps > Games > Action Games, but there seems never have been any succsefull install? Best regards Fredrik

Hello! Thanks for your reply! But what do you mean with terminal output? Where do I find that? I just clicked the start-icon installed by the game. Is there any other way to start an app through wine? Best regards Fredrik
Hello! I tried at again at home and reinstalled the game. I run the setup.exe and the installer started fine. In the beginning I got this in the installer dialog: --START-INFO-- GUN (TM) PC DVD-ROM Minimum System Requirements - 3D hardware accelerator card required - 100% DirectX(R) 9.0c-compliant 32 MB Hardware T&L - capable video card and the latest drivers* - English version of Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000/XP - Pentium(R) III 1.8 GHz or Athlon(TM) XP 1800+ or higher processor - 256 MB of RAM - 2.8 GB of uncompressed hard disk space (plus 320 MB for the Windows swap file) - A 100% Windows 2000/XP-compatible computer system including: - DirectX 9.0c (Included) - 100% DirectX 9.0c-compliant true 16-bit sound card and drivers - 100% Windows 2000/XP- compatible mouse, keyboard and drivers - 100% Windows 2000/XP- compatible 2X speed DVD-ROM drive (2.77 MB/sec sustained transfer rate) and drivers - 100% Windows 2000/XP-compatible gamepad (optional) (Game controller with 10 or more buttons and dual analog thumb sticks required) *Supported Chipsets for Windows 2000/XP NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) 3/Ti series NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) 4/Ti series NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) FX 5700 and later series NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) 6800 and later ATI(R) Radeon(TM) 8500 ATI(R) Radeon(TM) 9000 ATI(R) Radeon(TM) 9600 ATI(R) Radeon(TM) 9800 and later *Important Note: Some 3D accelerator cards with the chipsets listed here may not be compatible with the 3D acceleration features utilized by GUN. Please refer to your hardware manufacturer for 100% DirectX 9.0c compatibility. --END-INFO-- The preselected installpath was: c:\Program Files\Activision\GUN I tried to change it to /home/fredrik/Wine_Applications (without creating the folders "Activision/GUN") But then the installer complained about: "Seleceted does not have 3112 MB free" ...even though I got 100 Gb free space. So I kept the original preselected installpath "c:\Program Files\Activision\GUN" At end of install I got the choice to install DirectX 9.0, I selected not to since it did not work last time. I restarted the computer. Put in the game-cd in cd-drive. Double clicked on the Gun-icon on my desktop, but as like yesterday I just got this popup: <A debugger has been detect> Unload the debugger and try again If any one got any clue of what to do please let me know! Best regards Fredrik

DO NOT create loops with symlinks. Wine ignores such links. And you will have all sorts of strange problems. Everything should be under one single directory. fredand44, you still have not produced the terminal output. Run your game from the terminal (don't forget to 'cd' into game's directory) and post output here.

Like I said DO NOT do that in the future especially when troubleshooting.
Hello! Thanks for all replies! I di not understand the "Run your game from the terminal ...." Correct me if I'm wrong when I say that you mean that I should start a cmd from wine (like in windows), then look for the something gun_start.exe. I'll try that at once I get home. Best regards Fredrik

Hello! Thanks for your reply. I guess you think the path to the cd is the problem? I guess there is no way in wine to tell wine where the cd player is? I will look for a no-cd-crack when I get home. Best regards Fredrik
Hello! Thanks for your reply mate, but I think you lost me there about "GIT"? Yesterday I installed Wine from "wine-1.0-0.rc1.mdv2008.1.i586". Is there an other version with GIT available? Best regards Fredrik
