HOWTO Install and Play (for older versions of wine before 1.1.31)

(1) First off, pop in your CDs. Open a Terminal and launch the setup:

wine "D:\Autorun.exe"

(Replace D: with whatever you have your CD drive mapped to in winecfg)

You may run into CD ejecting problems. when the setup comes to a "Insert Next CD" prompt, switch back to terminal and open a new tab. Do a "wine eject" pop in the next CD, and continue.

(2) After installation (some errors may appear, normally it's fine, sometimes you will have to kill the installation but it should've finished fine). You should get "d3dx9_24.dll" and "d3dx9_25.dll" into the System32 folder from a Windows installation.


(3) If Battlefield doesn't start up, and gives you errors about Uknown DynamicOption, try this tip from Roosch

Edit the Video.con file in your $HOME/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Default folder. Change the resolution part to 1024x768@60Hz

(4) Battlefield should then start up fine.

Some extra tips taken from the demo entry:

 

  • Open the registry editor (run 'regedit') and create the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\bf2.exe\Direct3D'. Then, add a value of type string with name 'OffscreenRenderingMode' and value 'fbo'
  • When the game is run in fullscreen, the taskbar is not hidden, and the downmost part of the game window is missing. Run it in window mode with 'wine bf2.exe +fullscreen 0'
  • If you want to play in another resolution than 800x600 using windowed mode, you must specify this on the command line, otherwise the game will not be displayed in the entire window. Use 'wine bf2.exe +fullscreen 0 +szx 1024 +szy 768', substitute according to your wishes
  • Alternatively you can use Wine's Virtual Desktop mode which can be activated in winecfg.

Note that while the cursor is invisible on the main menu, the mouse can still be used.

Settings can be turned up high. I had to change in my "winecfg" the Audio settings to Hardware Acceleration: Standard and "Driver Emulation" on. So you may want to mess with those settings if your Battlefield freezes and the terminal spits out something about DirectSound.

 

I successfully played online, but a Punkbuster server will kick you with Window API errors. So only non-Punkbuster servers for now...

List of various command line options here http://bf2.fun-o-matic.org/index.php/Command_Line_Options

 
Refresh Rates
This game is a little broken and requires that you have 1024x768 @ 60hz available in XOrg else it wont start (also true under Windows). You can check its availability by running "xrandr" in a terminal which will tell you all your available screen-modes and resolutions. If it's not available then you either need to add it or run the game in windowed mode or a Virtual Desktop.

Good Instructions out of date
by Michael Gilbert on Sunday November 8th 2009, 22:11
BTW, installing battlefield 2 on a current version of wine (1.1.31 here) is actually a lot easier than currently described in the instructions (no need for d3d files from a windows install). Here is what I did:

1. Install the game from the disks
2. Install the 1.41 patch
3. Install the 1.5 patch
4. Add "fbo" to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/AppDefaults/bf2.exe/Direct3D/OffscreenRendering" key
4. Start the game with "wine bf2.exe +fullscreen 0 +szx 1024 +szy 768"

Fulscreen didn't quite work for some reason, but windowed mode runs great.

Also, from what I've seen so far punkbuster works. I've been playing on punkbuster servers without getting kicked!

Hope this is useful.

RE: Good Instructions out of date
by Warren Dumortier on Sunday November 15th 2009, 7:40
You don't even have to define fbo as ORM as it is the default since some time!

BF2 with 5.1 Surround Sound
by McMaster on Thursday April 25th 2013, 15:53
I have an Audigy 2 ZS that I'd like to use for surround sound. All channels are routed properly as confirmed by "speaker-test -c 6 -t wav". However, when I play BF2, all channels are ON but it's only "triple stereo" playing (i.e., the front pair, the rear pair, and the center are all playing the same stereo signal).

I think this game uses dsound. I'm using the builtin dll for dsound.

Anyone know how to get the proper discrete channels in BF2 surround sound?

Punkbuster
by Jim on Sunday March 24th 2013, 15:13
I posted a comment on the Battlefield 2142 thread about fixing punkbuster, and it applies here as well.

-------

To fix punkbuster, download pbsetup.exe from the punkbuster site:

www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Run pbsetup.exe from your BF2 wineprefix, click "Add a Game" and select "Battlefield 2" from the list of games, then click "Check for Updates" and BF2's version of punkbuster will be updated.

Weird behavior on 1.3.21
by Linux_gamer on Thursday June 16th 2011, 9:30
So, I was having the same trouble as others with the resolution not configuring right and getting error messages on load. I used the terminal command with 1024X768 resolution, which seemed to work. But, what I additionally found is that if you say "emulate virtual desktop" and put the native res. of your monitor under "Default Settings", it works fine in fullscreen (at least for me). Change to the same settings for app. specific BF2.exe, and it fails again with the error message "has encountered a serious error and needs to close". For me, the config files to change to 1024X768@60Hz did nothing either. Seems like "Default Settings" graphics options and terminal commands are the only things that influence it.

I'm getting this error when I'm trying to launch BF2:
Text: Unknown DynamicOption value 800x600@60Hz

I started fresh and installed it like in the guide:
1. Install BF2
2. Install 1.41 patch
3. Install 1.50 patch

Then I started it like this:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/bf2-wine" wine bf2.exe +fullscreen 0 +szx 1024 +szy 768

I tried to install d3dx9 with winetricks afterwards without any effect. I also tried to change the VideoSettings.setResolution value from Video.con.

Annoying (well-known?) mouse warping bug
by Matt North on Thursday November 25th 2010, 4:40
Hi all,

I've successfully installed BF2 v1.5 under Wine 1.2.1 and can run it with that and Wine 1.3.7 with almost no problems.

The one problem I've got is that the mouse cursor seems constrained to the initial window size, e.g. I can only move the mouse to turn so far before it hits the window edge and I can no longer turn in that direction. From what I gather this is a well known bug and would require a lot of work to patch it - but has anyone been able to run BF2 with no mouse issues, or has anyone got a workaround handy?

Thanks in advance.

Battlefield 2 - Wine 1.3.7 - Fedora 14 x64
by Ryan on Monday November 22nd 2010, 17:58
I managed to get Battlefield 2 running on Fedora 14 x64 last night on Wine 1.3.7 in 800x600 with all settings on high (set manually). I was unable to get punkbuster to install/run properly but I could play punkbuster free servers. I was unable to change screen res without the game crashing. To get this running I just installed from disc, and updated with patch 1.41 and 1.5. I had wine config set to run in windows 7 compatibility. Prior to doing this, I had already set the VideoMemorySize key under HKCU\wine\Direct3D, and gecko had automatically downloaded and installed. I had attempted to use winetricks to install a few other dlls etc, however winetricks doesn't work in x64. Also I had previously installed the tahoma font from a backup copy I had of some $NTSPUninstall$ folders.

BF2 1.5 (Steam) WINE 1.3.5 Ubuntu 10.04
by Bob Wya on Sunday October 17th 2010, 17:49
Hi

I've finally got BF2 to play through the intro movies today (previously it would just crash immediately). I am able to log into my EA account fine. I can get into the menus (the mouse cursor is visible, etc.!!) The menus are all working fine (including the BFHQ with my player stats and the multiplayer server lists).

The problem is that when I try and connect to a server the game/WINE hangs (single or multiplayer). So I have to CTRL+ALT+F1 and kill the BF2.exe process to restore access to the OS.

Any thoughts?

Bob

I am getting no output at all when running:
$ wine ./BF2.exe
in a console. I've tried running:
$ WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid wine BF2.exe &> log.txt
But there is nothing very useful in the log file which ends with:

Modelines
by Dean Hamstead on Sunday April 4th 2010, 7:19
fyi modelines can be generated for you using the 'gtf' command
ie...

gtf 1024 768 60

# 1024x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 64.11 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync


also the +restart option when starting bf2 spares you enduring the movies
