Hi I have tried all the guides I can find on the internet to run COD4 in Wine but everytime I fell short somewhere. I new to Linux and am running the latest version of Ubuntu (Hardy). I have an Nvidia 9800gt installed and running on my machine and can't wait to play COD4. I have the latest release of wine => 1.0-rc4.
Also I know I am going to run into a sound issue because I got Quake 4 running natively (Graphics were killer) but there was no sound.
If anyone could help me out I would much appreciate it. I know there are guides but some assistance in the process when I come to errors would be great and much appreciated.

Could you maybe elaborate more on what the problem was? Maybe include details as
to what went wrong or maybe the output at console when you ran it?

Ok
Well I ran into problems a couple of times.
I usually run into problems at the checkinstall steps.
I have basically started from the beggining uninstalled the version of wine I had read from a number of guides for installing COD4 because none of them worked for me (don't think it was Wine itself) but I felt that was the best way to go.
To be more specific (sorry im a noob here with linux) I want to use the latest version of Wine which I do have. How do I get the patch that I need to run COD4. And how would I enter that into the terminal? I am not completely blind when using the terminal but I just learned my ABC's with it if that makes sense.

Re: Ok
What patch are you talking about? Why do you need some patch? When you just run COD4 with regular Wine what are the problems?kayfes wrote:How do I get the patch that I need to run COD4.

Ok installed using newest wine
How do I run it from the terminal so I can list any errors that may occur?

Re: First 2 errors
There are number of howtos on AppDB. For example: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=10429kayfes wrote:Cannot run from cd/dvd rom please insert cd/dvd

Read and follow the instructions. To patch Wine you will need Wine's source code of course. To compile it you will need to install all the required dependencies: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
