Rayman 3 under Wine... it doesn't start

Post by Joshua822 »

Hello there ^^

I have some trouble getting Rayman 3 to work. If i start Rayman3.exe i get the splashscreen, but then it's gone, no program whatsoever. I started the *.exe directly from the CD. What can i do to make it work ?

Thanks in advance :D

Ps : i have Ubuntu 8.10

If you ran the installer under Wine, you installed it in Wine.

I'm not familiar with this game--in Windows, do you normally start the installed game from an .exe on the cd, or does the installer put an .exe on your hard drive?

Open a terminal, cd to the directory on your hard drive where the .exe is located, and run it with

Code: Select all

wine program.exe
substituting the actual name of the .exe for "program.exe." Post whatever messages appear.
