COD-UO buffer overrun

[dirtcrew51m]

OS-Linux Mint, latest version, Game starts to load, get the message "buffer overrun", crashes, the screen goes to a larger resolution, I swapped between ATI and Nvidia video cards, read that might be an issue, I am now using an ATI radeon hd4760. I asked other forums and they sent me here. COD-UO is the only reason I use windows. Mint is on its own hard drive and dont want to keep switching drives to use linux and play cod-uo.

it's one of my pet hates - vague statements like "I'm running the latest version"... As are pointless abreviations for game names!!
Linux Mint 18.1 - please!!

The ATI Radeon HD4760 was a great card... under Windows. Under Linux it is a complete turkey. The radeon r600 driver for this card is probably still in an awful state...
On my Radeon 4560 I could play Crysis or medium settings - on Windows. On Linux - I couldn't even play UT3 games - via Wine - due to the awful GL support of the AMD driver.

AMD are slowly (read: very slowly) "turning the titanic around" - but only for much newer AMD graphics cards / drivers...
What Nvidia card have you got? That generally will give better gaming performance/stability - even as far back as the 8000 series.

See the base version WineHQ AppDB page: Call of Duty 1 for some required gameplay fixes...

I'd recommend getting the latest version (currently 2.5) of Wine Staging...
So install the winehq-staging package - see WineHQ Download: Ubuntu ...

Ok its Mint 17.3. One of my pet hates is wanting so bad to get away from windows, use linux, and get COD-UO to work and not dual boot. I have been asking for a while, literally years on and off, tried Ubuntu, Suse, and now Mint, which I like the best, but nobody can give an answer.

I put my nvidia gforce gts 450 back in, the game in windows likes it better. I will look at the links you gave and see if I can make it work. I will see what version of wine and upgrade if needed.

Thanks for the info.

The opengl extension sting is too long. That is why it is crashing.

Using the closed nVidia drivers, you need to prepend an environment variable prior to
evoking wine.

env __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 wine CoDUOSP.exe
