So the game will require functioning 3D acceleration from your Linux OS. Do you have a graphics card capable of playing this game? Do you have propriety drivers installed for the card? The following command will show your graphics card model (if you are not sure): Code: lspci | grep -i vga Also what distro (and version) are you currently using? Bob
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]. AMD/ATI proprietary FGLXR graphics driver is what i am using. I am on Ubuntu 10.10 and using Wine 1.2
Just tried running in virtual desktop, and i get an error says thegame.exe has encountered serious problems and needs to close.

Looks like something is mucked up either with your setup or Wine. James McKenzie
