Bad. Install it under Wine. Make sure you have one of latest Wine versions (0.9.60 or 0.9.61).

You can't just copy a Windows game over and expect it to work in Wine any more
than you would to another Windows system. You need to install it.

Wine starts the game, but in the moment when i choose the profile the game
get closed. no error, nothing.

I've noticed the same thing installing it from Steam. I'm only kind of
interested in it because I noticed someone on the Steam on Linux group
playing it and discovered it was a no-cost item on Steam and installed it.
Discovered it didn't work, and decided to just go back to TF2 for now...

Your problem might just be that trackmania may not keep everything in it's folder (I can't check right now) and so crash due to missing files.
So install the game under wine (it works) and your problem may be solved just by that.

Read the appdb to add the openal DLL linked on the appdb page. But don't install DirectX as written in the appdb, just add the missing DLL (there is a thread about this on this forum)

To make that game work, I have to start it from within the *nix directory it's installed in. In my case it means I have to go to /export/home/servo/.wine/drive_c/TMN and then run wine TmForeverLauncher.exe. Otherwise it plain fails to start.

Instead of running it from steam?

Same problem like before...

I installed the game with wine (with "wine TmNationsForever_Setup.exe")
then i copied the d3dx9_30.dll in the directory where tm was installed ("~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever")
after that i startet the game.

After choosing the profile the game end without a message.

any ideas?

Thx

Info from APPDB http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=23489

-Replace the OpenAL32.dll in the game folder with http://schmatzler.de/openal32.dll

It works here. Didn't have to install, I'm just running it from a FAT32 partition and it works.
Have you replaced OPENAL32.DLL?
Can you run the game from console and post the output?

Apparently not. Give it some real time.
