Issues running WIne Need for speed underground 2

[TECH198]

When installing Need for speed underground 2 with WINE 1.9.16, i have issues running the game..

Upon launching the game i get "insert disc" ... Although this is the typical "safe disc" protection... *except* the game in patched (1.2).

When installed the same game in Windows,, I can run it fine with *no disc*...

So its clearly been patched for use without the disc needed...

So why can i run under Windows, but on Mac in WINE, i need disc ?

According to the log, you are missing not only several of Wine's dependencies, you are also missing parts of Wine itself. Since Wineskin is not supported here, ask for help on their forum.
