Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works

Well, almost everything that I haven't listed in "what does not work" I suppose.

A list of what you might want to know:

Installation

Multiplayer

Microphone/Voice chat

Laser pointer (a lot of test datas said that laser pointer doesn't work so well, but it works without problems for me.)


What does not

Depth of field

Soften smoke edges

Couldn't choose game mode in fullscreen mode, I'll describe how to switch to windowed mode in extra comments.


What was not tested
Singleplayer


Additional Comments

Gold rating since it works very well right out of the box, gameplay is smooth and I'm not experiencing any problems in multiplayer at all. I'm very happy with this game. But since things like motion blur and night vision according to other tests doesn't work I'll give it a strong gold rating.

FPS isn't all that high, but it's pretty decent. I suppose you'd get a little bit better FPS with Windows or OSX.

Speccs on my 2 year old computer:
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E6850  @ 3.00GHz
4GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB
500GB HDD
11GB SWAP

Okay, so how I installed it:

First of all you need Wine if you haven't got it so just do this in terminal:

sudo apt-get install wine

After that you need to install gecko, corefonts, mfc42, d3dx9, dotnet2, ie6  via winetricks, so just do this in terminal:

sh winetricks gecko corefonts mfc42 d3dx9 dotnet20 ie6

Then do this in a terminal:

wine regedit 

in HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Wine create, if it's doesn't already exists, a new key named Direct3D
in Direct3D create the following strings with the following values:

string: DirectDrawRenderer          	value: opengl
string:	Nonpower2Mode 			value: repack 
string: OffscreenRenderingMode  	value: fbo
string: RenderTargetLockMode    	value: auto
string: UseGLSL                        	value: readtex
string: VideoMemorySize	            	value: memory_size_of_your_graphic_card

(Thanks to AJSB for this)

After that you'll need to install Steam.
Go to www.steampowered.com and download Steam by clicking the "Get steam now" button in the left menu bar.

Then browse to your setup-file and just run it in wine by right clicking it and then select "Run in Wine windows program loader" (or something like that) and then just follow the instructions and install Steam, this should work without any problems at all.

After that you'll need a Steam-account so just register one via steam.

Then you'll login. Now exit steam and start it again, login if you haven't chosen autologin on your computer.

Now run CoD Disk 1, wait a few seconds until "Disk_1" pops up on your desktop. Then right click it and browse.

Now you should see some files, choose Setup.exe and run it in Wine.

Okay, now you should get a menu, you won't see it all since it's resized but you should at least be able to see an "I" to the right, click it to begin the installation.

After that, just follow the instructions and let it install.

When the installer asks for Disk 2, open up a new terminal and type:

wine eject

After that you'll have to run Disk 2, wait a couple of seconds until "Disk_2" pops up on your desktop. Then click "OK" in the window that asks for Disk 2.

After that, just let the installation finish.

Do not run the game directly, I'd recommend you to close Steam and then start it again.

Now just start the game from the games-list in Steam, if you experience trouble with fullscreen like I did then you'll have to edit the configuration file to make the game windowed. (Nope, -windowed command in steam startup options won't work)

Okay, first of all browse to:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/call of duty modern warfare 2/players

There you should see a file named config_mp.cfg, open it with gedit or something.

Now you'll need to look for the line

seta r_fullscreen "1"
(You could just ctrl+f it)

For windowed mode, change that to:

seta r_fullscreen "0"

and then save the configuration file.

Now the game should be in windowed mode when you run it, for me the resolution for some reason changed to 640x400 and you can't play the game in a small window like that, but there's a simple fix, just go to the options in the game and change the resolution to whatever you want.

Have fun playing! :)

Co-OP Mode Works
HI, I yesterday tested Singleplayer and Multiplayer CO-OP Mode in Ubuntu 10.04 Beta2 x64 and this game mode works correctly. NOTE: There are some lag

 
How To run the game correctly
1. Turn off Compiz Fusion if it's enabled 2. Download winetricks and exec them with command sh into console and install Directx, corefonts,visual basic,codecs and all the requisites what appear in the box. 3. Start Steam and install game 4. Set resolution to: 800*600 or 1024*768 for a correctly work 5. Enjoy

Input-Error (stub) Slows down Performance
by Gerrit Addiks on Wednesday December 1st 2010, 10:57
hi,

when playing CoD MW2, the game itself runs, it is playable,
but extremely slower then it should be.
By that i mean the the FPS drops down to 2-5 when being in a battle.
That is REALY annoying!

After i have turned on debug, i am getting the following when pressing or holding a key and sometimes when moving the mouse.

...
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DVolumeImpl_LockBox (0xef595c0) : pBox=(nil) stub
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DVolumeImpl_LockBox (0xef595c0) : pBox=(nil) stub
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DVolumeImpl_LockBox (0xef595c0) : pBox=(nil) stub
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DVolumeImpl_LockBox (0xaf096c8) : pBox=(nil) stub
...

And by "getting" them, i mean the console pumpes them out as if there where no tomorrow, thousands of lines in just seconds.
I am sure this is why the game is so damn slow.

Is there a way to fix it?
Otherwise there are no errors or glitches,
but that is going to make me mad.

Thanks for any Help,
Gerrit Addiks

MW2 closes on completion of loading.
by Ethan on Tuesday October 26th 2010, 18:11
Here's what I did. Installed d3dx9/d3dx10 dlls and vcrun2005sp1 via winetricks > Launched steam from my Windows installation > Turned off the steam in-game overlay > Launched MW2 Multiplayer (WinXP config in wine) > (At this point everything runs sooooo smooth ^^) Selected Hardcore TDM to play > It finds a game and begins to load > as soon as loading completes it just closes?

I have 4gb RAM DDR3, i5 quad core, NVidia GTX 275(nvidia-current driver on Ubuntu), and I'm running wine1.3-dev on Ubuntu 10.10.

Game settings all at high and running in windowed mode at 1920x1080 Resolution.

Anyway to open a debug console for this?

Thanks ^^

Bad FPS

Graphic Slow Down
by Monkness on Tuesday May 25th 2010, 23:29
Quick overview:

Just updated Wine to 1.2-rc1
Running Ubuntu 10.04
Intel i7-860
4 gig ram
nVidia GTS 250 195.36.15
Compiz Fusion Full Quality

Now, the previous version on Wine was giving me a lot of graphical errors/bugs. But, this 1.2 rc1 isn't. The game runs beautifully! High frame rates with no problems from Steam or the online matching service. But I do run into a problem when I play through a whole round online. After the round is over, things slow down. I was wondering if this was due to something I might be doing. Let me know if there is something I should do differently or how I can help out.

A lot of "Steam connect failed"
by LBM on Sunday May 16th 2010, 19:22
Hey, just wanted to check if anyone else is experiencing my problem while playing MW2 online using Wine.

The thing is that I'm usually able to play a match, or at lest half a match without problems, but then I'm always "kicked" (?) with the message "Steam connect failed".

I've been searching the web for answers and the recommendations are, 1) not to use a pirated copy of the game and 2) to check network/router settings. The thing is though, that my copy of the game is legit and my router seems to be as "open" as it can possibly be, so I'm starting to think the problem might be Wine.

Anyways, I'm not that happy about filing a bug for this problem since I'm not entirely sure the problem is Wine (tested with everything from v. 1.1.37 - 1.1.44), and since the "kick" doesn't seem to provide much output in logs, etc.

So, as for now I'm just curious, am I the only one here experiencing this?

Unhandled Exception
by nicholas on Tuesday May 11th 2010, 19:27
Hey everyone, thanks for all of your work so far.

Anyway, I've got Steam installed fine (Steam actually seems to work MUCH MUCH better than the last time I tried with wine -- about 2 years ago.)

So, I thought I'd give MW2 a whirl.

No dice. When I try to launch the game, I get this output in the console:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x7f0e5a4c at address 0x7ec84570 (thread 0016), starting debugger...

Black Screen
by Christian on Saturday May 8th 2010, 5:12
Installation seemed fine.
Then I got the dxdllreg.exe crash, so I altered the file path in the registry to prevent execution.
But with and without dxdllreg.exe I only get a black desktop in the game resolution (1024x768 I guess) and the MW2 icon showing, but nothing else. Did anyone encounter this problem or has a solution / tips for me?

Mouse not working
by Philippe Casgrain on Friday March 5th 2010, 10:51
The game installs fine through steam, but when I launch the game, even when wine is patched (1.1.39), the mouse seems to have no effect on the game; it simply disappears whenever I mouse over the window and try to click. In full-screen mode, I'm experiencing similar problems as well.

Well, after a lot of days playing it w/o problems, i took somedays w/o playing it and today i tryed again....Steam updated itself and also MW2...and since then i have no sound at all in MW2SP, MW2MP, TF2 and HL2 series :(

I'm starting to get p****d with Steam...

FWIW, other games not using Steam like COD2 and MXvsATV Unleashed (w/NoCD crack) play just fine...

Resolutions problems
by Nicholas Cuthbertson on Thursday January 14th 2010, 11:29
Ok, I have gotten past the freezing problems (just uninstalled and reinstalled the game with AJSB's instructions) but now there is another problem. At 1280x1024 (aspect ratio 5:4) resolution (I change the resolution in the config.cfg config_mp.cfg) and minimum graphics the game works fine but the fps is low, as mentioned by many people. To remedy this I decreased the res to 640x480 (4:3) but when i got into a game I could only see the background and my sights, everything else, including enemy players was invisible. I think this was mentioned earlier but he didn't mention the resolution. The same graphical problem occurs with 1024x768 (4:3) and 640x512 (5:4) and i thinks all the other ones but these are the ones I have tried.
One thing I don't get though, is that when I am using a 4:3 resolution I can see the bars at the top and bottom of the desktop (Ubuntu 8.10) and when I am using 1280x1024 I can't see either of the bars but when I use 640x512 (the same aspect ratio as 1280x1024, so it should also work) I can see the bar at the top but not the one at the bottom.

If anyone else has had this problem or has found a way to fix it please say something.

In the meantime I will be trying other

by kostas on Wednesday January 13th 2010, 10:26
OK, so today i upgraded to the new version of wine, 1.1.36.
Once again, like the previous version, it solves nothing when it comes to this game but instead of that, causes more problems. After the mouse bug that was introduced in 1.1.35 version of wine, now is the keyboard's turn to stop working when launching the game with wine 1.1.36. Pressing any keys in game will do nothing, however they will do whatever they were supposed to do, outside of the game, for example: I was pressing F1 to get the game summary and it did not work, but when i exited the game i saw that i had loaded several times the help contents of Ubuntu (which use F1 as the shortcut key).
The Mouse bug is fixed but every other problem persists: Low fps, sound stattering periodically or at times there's no sound at all, and garbage graphics. If anyone of you is saying that they haven't got low fps or good graphics, apparently haven't played this game in windows yet, to see how it is really supposed to be.

I've had it with wine and i'll downgrade to 1.1.34 if i won't find any workaround for the keyboard to work tonight even. I will post it here if i find it and see that more people have this problem or else back to 1.1.34 and no more upgrades. It's getting worse as it goes.

It seems from a little test tonight that it works flawlessly on a macbook pro mid '09 with snow leopard. Had low fps but only tried with 9400.
Tomorrow i ll do some more tests and apply the data ofc i didn't check for high graphics :)
Only problem was installing the game... Had to download from steam to install it :P :)

People , People !!!
by AJSB on Tuesday January 5th 2010, 19:41
There is nothing wrong with the game !!!

Follow my instructions in my review EXACTLY , except , use wine 1.1.34 (no need for patch) or use wine 1.1.35 with the patch for the mouse and it weill work fine AS LONG AS YOU DON-T FORGET TO DO IN THE END OF EVERYTHING INSTALLED:

sudo apt-get purge alsa-oss
sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

It sounds ridiculous BUT YOU NEED TO DO THAT.

and don't forget to edit the launcher to put "aoss" in the proper place.

I also now OC my PC with a e2610 at 1.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz and no longer have low fps :D

Freezes and other problems.
by Nicholas Cuthbertson on Sunday January 3rd 2010, 8:11
I have successfully installed Modern Warfare 2 with wine 1.1.35 but it seems to alternate between a few problems. Sometimes the game doesn't start at all and sometimes it freezes while it starts and I can move the mouse but can't click or right click on anything on the desktop. Singleplayer quits immediately after the game starts when it does start and multiplayer does start on occasion but freezes when I get into a game with enough people and it is about to start.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi!

I'm getting the following error after trying to run the game, I'm trying to run it through the steam I've got installed on PlayOnLinux.

Please turn off 'compatibility mode'
-right click steam.exe
-select Properties
-go to the 'Compatibility' tab
-un-check 'Run this application in compatibility mode...'

Of course I can't do this, anyone know what to do?

Thanks,
Daniel

Sound Initialisation Problems
by Dan on Wednesday December 30th 2009, 4:31
Hi All,

I believe I have followed these instruction which seemed very clear thank you! The installation went fine however when I launch the game I get the following error.

----- Client Initialization Complete -----
Attempting 44 kHz 16 bit [Windows default] sound
ERROR: Couldn't initialize digital driver: DirectSoundCreate() failed in get_system_speaker_configuration()


Error during initialization:
Miles sound system initialization failed.
Make sure you have your sound card's latest drivers and DirectX installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

unhanded exception
by SSK on Tuesday December 22nd 2009, 8:24
After some time playing MP or SP I have wine errors with unhanded exceptions and the game just stalls. Killing the process can only help, so when the game fails while playing a match the progress isn't saved. I'm running Debian Squeeze 64 bit. Wine 1.1.34.
Any ideas how to solve it?

Probably it's ever since Wine upgraded to 1.1.35. Whenever i launch MW2 i still get my desktop's cursor instead of the game's cursor. I can only scroll the cursor but can't click on anything so i can't play the game because of it.

Any clues why is this happening and how can i fix it?

"as mentioned the game works, i.e. i hear sounds and see the display text (ammo, compass, in game map etc.) - however the screen stays black and the on-screen text "smears" into the black screen as you move."


I had the same thing until I went to Advanced Video settings (in the game itself) and disabled shadows, spec/glow, depth of field, and wall marks, and possibly more. Then the game appeared properly (I didn't narrow down if it was one setting in particular that "fixed" the issue, but I remember hearing somewhere that it might be shadows that's causing it).

That said, I had an issue with the input from my mouse (Logitech G5) just causing all kinds of random spastic movements (if you've ever seen aimbotters whip around back and forth in seemingly random directions to get kill after kill, that's what it felt like). I basically kept spinning around in a circle, so I didn't get very far. This was in X11's fullscreen mode at 1600 x 1200 (well, 1200 - 22, which is the height of the Mac menu bar). I will keep experimenting.

Oh, I almost forgot to add that I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.2.

low fps & garbage text issues
by Mahmoud Abdul Jawad on Saturday December 5th 2009, 7:18
hi all,,

i installed the game nicely & easily on my Fedora 11 box, what i did is that i copied the two DVD's contents to a folder i ran Setup.exe & everything went clearly..
after the finish of installing, i ran the game, it worked without issues, except the low fps & garbage text issues.

i don't know, what is the reason, but there's a lot of GPU idle while running the game, no errors, but some fixme warnings.

is this a bug or it's the wine limit??

the text isn't a big issue, but the low fps is the ULTIMATE DISASTER --another Mr. Bean..

any such issues or solutions??

MW2 performance
by kostas on Thursday December 3rd 2009, 7:50
Hey guys, i have managed to ran Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, on Ubuntu 9.10 with Wine 1.1.33 and the patch given by Max here.

All's good but the game's suffering from low fps, sound lagging and bad graphics due to having disabled depth of field and soften smoke edges.

I am getting owned at MP because of it and i really hate it.. Any ways to improve the game's general performance?

Before I got Ubuntu, i was playing this game with a slow poking 2 years old Windows Vista, and it ran sweet and perfectly, no problems at all, so i know my hardware is just fine.

I'm still a Linux illeterate so I'm looking for any tips that could help me improve the game's performance.

Main Menu Fonts/text issue
by Rob McCann on Tuesday December 1st 2009, 12:31
I've (finally) installed and got the program to load (i'll write a howto later)

The text on the main menu is garbled, possibly a font issue?

It isn't possible to read it but the game is navigable.

The game also has a random black flicker, that I would normally equate to a driver issue.

I'm running a self-compiled version of 1.1.33 with the Left4Dead 2 'Incomplete installation (#)' patch installed. I've also done the registry tweaks provided and set my video memory to 1000000000

Singleplayer FULLY working....MULTIPLAYER almost...NEED YOUR help !
by AJSB on Friday November 27th 2009, 11:06
OK, i mannged to put the SP fully working (details later), mainly thanks to 48khz, ALSA, 16bit and the patch....all this in XUBUNTU 9.10.

As for MP , i played online (AFAIK, in a VAC server !) today but i gived up for now, because a "small" problem....NO SOUND at all.

If i use same settings than for SP, MP crashes at start up....i have to change from ALSA to OSS to not crash but then i have no sound !!! :(

Notice that also in COD2 and COD4, i used under Slackware 12.2, ALSA for SP and OSS for MP to avoid also the start up crashes, but in both caserd i had sound !


Any ideas ?!?....Slackware 13 ?!? :P

TIA,
AJSB

[post new] [reply to this]

Almost there....
by AJSB on Thursday November 26th 2009, 19:20
OK, i dumped Slackware and installed XUBUNTU 9.10....installed everything including the pre-compiled patch and installed everything correctly....there is a final problem.

When MW2 SINGLEPLAYER starts, it gives an error about Miles sound not working:

Error During Initialization
Miles sound system initialization failed.

...and then, it will not continue to launch.

As for MW2 MULTIPLAYER, it fully launches w/o errors but there is no sound at all !!!

I remember that there was also another game with these same problems and that someone found a solution....don't recall however what game it was and , more important, what was solution....anyone knows ?

TIA,
AJSB

Thanks, it seems to work.
For lazy people: solution that worked for me is waiting for about 5-10minutes, then game unfreezes and works fine. Still some bugs with specific lightning (e.g. night vision), but it's acceptable

Find Solution
by Berillions on Tuesday November 24th 2009, 13:49
Thanks for the creator of this patch.
Left 4 Dead 2 has the same problem that CoD6, the error message :
(53) Incomplete Installation.
appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18408

So, i compiled wine 1.1.33 and i moved the file patched and it's works.
Solo + Multiplayer.

So, download this file :
hotfile.com/dl/18516885/0d1e877/PatchCod6.zip.html

And move the file in /usr/lib/wine in root.

Incomplete installation of CoD MW2 (53) Bug

I'm also having this issue :(
I installed the game today and no way it starts :((

However, it seems that might be related to Steam client itself because reading one of the bug reports here it says that Steam under Windows is being affect also !!!! There seems that Steam is trying to solve the problem ?!?
