Hi I have tried all the guides I can find on the internet to run COD4 in Wine but everytime I fell short somewhere. I new to Linux and am running the latest version of Ubuntu (Hardy). I have an Nvidia 9800gt installed and running on my machine and can't wait to play COD4. I have the latest release of wine => 1.0-rc4. If anyone could help me out I would much appreciate it. I know there are guides but some assistance in the process when I come to errors would be great and much appreciated.
Could you maybe elaborate more on what the problem was? Maybe include details as to what went wrong or maybe the output at console when you ran it? -Zac kayfes wrote:> Hi I have tried all the guides I can find on the internet to run COD4 in Wine but everytime I fell short somewhere.

Well I ran into problems a couple of times. I usually run into problems at the checkinstall steps. I have basically started from the beggining uninstalled the version of wine I had read from a number of guides for installing COD4 because none of them worked for me (don't think it was Wine itself) but I felt that was the best way to go. To be more specific (sorry im a noob here with linux) I want to use the latest version of Wine which I do have. How do I get the patch that I need to run COD4. And how would I enter that into the terminal? I am not completely blind when using the terminal but I just learned my ABC's with it if that makes sense. Didn't mean to post that in the main forum section.
How do I run it from the terminal so I can list any errors that may occur?
