Call of Duty 4 in Wine not working

Asked by minyaloth

I have just installed Call of Duty 4 in Wine on Ubuntu 7.10 and that went fine but during installation of DirectX it said, "An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine problem." And that the installation had failed.

Then When I try to run the game, it says, "Error during initialization: Video card or driver doesn't support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code path"

Please tell me what is wrong and how to fix it.

I am using Wine 1.0.

Thanks,

wine is not perfect, i gets no funding from microsoft and no documentation from microsoft, thus providing a windows interface for your windows programs is not a perfect science and thus not everything works.

you might want to consult the wine application database on getting certain applications to use: the call of duty 4 one is here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5934

you also might want to ask the people who made call of duty why they don't support your opperating system.

Getting apps running with wine is best done on Wine's own User forum

http://forum.winehq.org/

Also search its AppDB for information about Call of Duty 4

http://appdb.winehq.org/

There is also a specific Ubuntu Forum for Wine
