Sudden Strike 2 is not working with wine ??
Dear all,
i have recently installed linux mint on my laptop as it gets older and older and i need a stable lightweight system. I use a IBM Thinkpad R60 and somehow my favourite game is not working with wine what makes me really sad.
The Game i would like to play is Suddenstrike 2 Resource war mod. Singleplayer is working fine but Multiplayer Games are not possible. When i try to create a game or try to join a multiplayer game i am getting a error message that says that the software could not initialize the network interface card.
Somehow an other user from the community uses wine and suddenstrike 2 resource war mod and it works fine on his system.
Is there anybody out there who can help me figure out the problem?
Kind regards

Make sure you're using the latest development release of Wine (2.15) or Wine Staging (2.14). See WineHQ Download: Ubuntu ...
Then try:
Using the native directplay.dll often fixes game multiplayer issues.

The easiest and quickest way to install most native Windows DLL's - is to use the winetricks helper script.
Rather than using some random Windows DLL Download site - which is not recommended!
Just make sure your copy of the winetricks script is up-to-date:
Then to install and override the native Windows directplay.dll:

Dear Bob,
i managed to install winetricks and the game is running in multiplayer mode now. great and thank you very much for your help.
now i a have another problem with the game. when i start the game it is not opening in fullscreen mode so that i can play only in a small window. The maximum game resolution is 1024x768 and i use a 15"TFT Screen with a resolution of 1400x1050 pixels.
Is it somehow possible to play the game in fullscreen mode ?
kind regards

The Internet appears to say no - about changing to higher resolutions...philippoinzagi wrote:Dear Bob,

What's the output from:
Code: Select all
xrandr
Are you sure you've not enabled a Wine Virtual Desktop - in winecfg.
Otherwise the game must support an option to switch between window / fullscreen modes (either in a configuration file or the main menus).
