I have installed Battlefield 2, patch 1.41 and then 1.50. I can only get to the splash screen before it crashes. i have tried the newest wine, the older working one on the wine app page wine 1.3 and 1.36. I have also tried Cagea and play on linux, all the same result, the splash screen and the a crash. I have installed the ATI drivers in wine. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 Any help will be greatly appreciated,

What ATI GPU/graphics card model do you have? Also I presume you mean Wine 1.3.6 (Wine 1.36 is some ways off...) Can you perchance post some console output? That would help pin down the startup problem most quickly. I feel your pain as it took me weeks to get BF2 working on my system. It still has some graphical glitches and that's with an Nvidia 8800 GTX w/ latest blob drivers!! Also I presume you are aware that multiplayer on Punk Buster enabled servers is still a no go... Bob
I used wine to install the catalyst, which I d/l the latest from the ati website the latest 10.11, my card is ati radeon 9600, I tried the latest line 1.3.6 and the wine posted on the status page wine 1.3.1 using both play on linux and wine and Cadega. what do I put in the terminal for the output needed? Thanks a bunch!

Thanks a bunch!First, you are going to have to start ALL OVER. POL is supported by themselves and may or may not make code changes to Wine base code. Cedega IS NOT SUPPORTED by the Wine Project as they DO MAKE code changes. Second, please read the Applications Database entry for Battlefield2. It is NOT easy to install/configure to work with Wine. Third, we do NOT support low-level Windows drivers for video cards. AMD/ATI supplies a Linux video driver for your card, use it. There is also the radeon driver, which may or may not be a better solution for your problem. James McKenzie
