Halo Custom Edition gets an exception and cant be launched

Post by RisunEtsija »

I followed this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486986
I tried launching the shortcut and I get a window that states:
Exception!

Gathering Exception Data...

(This window changes to the following in one second)

Halo

Halo has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.

options shown: 1. Debug 2. Close

I did everything the tutorial asked.

What went wrong? How can I fix this?

Outside tutorials are not supported here, and the one you followed is over 5 years old; I wouldn't expect it to work for current Wine.

The AppDB has an entry for this game, but the results there are rather old, too. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=7906

What I would suggest is you try installing to a clean wineprefix (no winetricks or other tweaks) using current Wine, and if it doesn't work, post terminal output.
