wine users - Aug 2010 - Company of Heroes crashes after short time of playing

Hi!

As the subject says: I can start a game (only tested with skirmish), but after
less than one minute it stops and crashes with the Relics crash dialog.

I tried with different wine versions (atm 1.1.42 and 1.2) under Debian lenny
32bit (Linux 2.6.32) and Ubuntu Lucid 64bit with different fglrx versions. My
graphics hardware is a Radeon HD 4200.

Via winetrix I installed d3dx9, gecko, ie6, ie7, vcrun2005, and vcrun2008 and
copied my CoH installation from Windows 7 RC 64bit (with/without using CoH
profile from Win7).

Any hints?

TIA

Martin

The issue is probably caused by all of the extras you have installed.

The redists you need to play the game should be in your installation
directory and from memory you need to run the redists in these
folders.

DX_Redist
VCRedist
MilesRedist (optional)

If you're planning on playing Tales of Valor you will also need to
install the redists from tovRedist.

You will need to use a fresh wine prefix to avoid all of the packages
you've already installed.

This extras where suggested in AppDB. Don't I need at least d3dx9?

Umm, the only redist there is MilesRedist.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm using ToV.

OK. Thanks for your help.

Now I wonder why there are no other redists and where to get them.
