similar to: Baldur's Gate II can't find my CD

Howdy Folks, I'm trying to install Baldur's Gate II on a windowsless Wine configuration and not having much luck. When I run Setup.exe from /cdrom, I get the Baldur's Gate II splash screen, the progress bar indicating that InstallShield is preparing to install Baldur's Gate II - Shadow of Amn and a message box stating 'Error installing iKernel.exe: (0x1400)'. When I

I am using Fedora 8 with Wine 1.0 rc3. The game seemed to install ok. I did a full install. When I try to run baldur.exe from the wine menu in KDE I get a splash screen opening up with the options to install, exit , configure, update and demos. I also get a message box telling me that I have to install Baldur's Gate II before playing. As far as I can tell, it's installed. Can anyone help

Hello. When i upgraded wine from 0.9.46 to 0.9.53 i noticed a annoying thing. When i run Baldur's Gate II - Shadows of Amn (and Icewind Dale II) on normal fullscreen mode they work fine. If i enable the "emulate a virtual desktop" option so that it runs on a window, it works fine until another window gets on top of the wine window. For example, i run xterm and run wine. If i click

To come clean at the very beginning of all this, I'm a very new Linux user - my Windows XP computer decided to destroy itself and so Ubuntu was my only choice in lieu of buying another copy of an already shoddy operating system. Because the Baldur's Gate 2 CDs do not have copy-protection, I simply copied their contents into a single folder in c: within wine's invisible directory.

I'm running wine 1.1.2 on Gentoo Linux. When playing at least Baldur's Gate I and Baldur's Gate II with Linux 2.6.21 kernel it does run smoothly but changing the kernel to any newer version does the game to run slowly. I have been checking the config of both kernels, and I have tried to get the same in them. I have a GF 6600 GT and nvidia 173.14.09, but I don't think it's the

Well, Now that I've made it through the actual install, I figured I'ld take Baldur's Gate for a spin. The main screeen, where you select to play the game, change the configuration, etc, comes up fine. There's a slight pause after clicking 'Play' while BGMain.exe starts and X is set yo 640x480 (I'm guessing this has something to do with DETACH_PROCESS?), but

Hi all, I'm using wine 9.57 in ubuntu gutsy, I'm trying to install BGII but the installshield, when reaches about 78%, asks me for the cd2: I give the directory path and immediately it asks for cd 3,4,5. Naturally i can't provide cd 5 because BGII is a 4cds game. I've tried to upgrade installshield with no result. I've also tried to eject (wine eject) the directory with cd1 but

Give it a few minutes (Alt-Tabbing out and back into the game a few times). You'll find out that you just rested for 22 days at once. It seems random when it happens, but also seems save-specific.

I run Ubuntu 10.4 and Wine 1.2 Everything works fine, I had no problems with installation but during the tutorial (I haven't tried elsewhere) when learning about casting spells I am told to click 'rest' but this results in a blank, black screen. I have tried running with and without 3D acceleration as well as in 16bit and 32bit modes but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I am having the same problem. Did you work out a solution? Everything else works well for me.

When I downloaded Baldur's Gate II it wouldn't let me install it because it "was not marked as executable" So I ran it in the terminal and this debug thing came up WeiDU v 21700 Log Setup-BGT.exe ERROR: Unable to find CHITIN.KEY in: . .. ../.. ../../.. ../../../.. . . . . .

Hello everyone, First of all let me say I'm a linux newbie, having only used the OS for a few days. I'm currently experiencing a problem with trying to get Baldur's Gate 1 to run. The install went flawlessly (Ubuntu 8.10, Wine 1.1.8) however when the launcher pops up. No matter what I click it hangs. I've tried all of the windows types in the Wine configuration panel but the

has anyone had any success in baldur's gate? i cant even get to the the startup movies... Mark Sidarous --

Hi there, I've recently compiled Wine-20041201 and I'm trying to get Baldur's Gate II running. The installation sequence is fine, so is the main menu, character creation etc. The problem is, once inside the actual game, the application randomly crashes giving me: Runtime error c:\bg2\BGMain.exe abnormal program termination This happens often enough to render the gameplay quite

Hey! Hello, WineHQ. Signed up because I've hit the limits of my ability with CIDER. I'm using the CIDER version of Baldur's Gate 2 on my Macbook 10.5.8 and I've gotten the game to run fine in Single Player. Unfortunately, I'm unable to run it in multiplayer mode which is a favorite of mine. Normally one can run a multiplayer TCP/IP game in BG2 so they can import/export

I'm trying to make Baldurs Gate II multiplayer working. I've used DLLs from archive on http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames (and from my WinXP install). I've added DLL overrides (native,builtin) for: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast but the last: dpwsockx isn't on the list in winecfg. When I try to start a multiplayer game wine has a memory leak or something - goes to SWAP, everything is

Hi, I run into a consistent crash in the GOG.com version of ToTSC (latest patched version). Specifically when entering house 6 as shown on http://www.forgottenwars.com/bg1/maps/x_0700.jpg Config: Ubuntu 10.10 x64, nVidia driver 270.41.03 kernel 2.6.38, wine 1.3.18 Can someone please check if they're also affected (or not)? I can provide a save game if necessary. Thanks in advance, FD

Hi, at first I was getting the "your opengl drivers are not installed properly" error message and after upgrading to Debian Squeeze and reinstalling them that error message is gone. I can actually start the game and see the intro and the logos of the companies. Either I can try to click the screen with the Nietzsche screen away, then the game freezes up and clicking again exits the game

Hi NG, i tried to run baldurs gate. I saw the Intro and thats all. Wine was always printing the same message:"fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_CreateSurface App didn't request a valid surface type - assuming offscreenplain". Is this a missing feature in wine (when will it be implemented)? PS:I'm running the cvs version of today(4.May)
