What works
Game installs but fails to start. Game was working on Mesa drivers but slow. (Gallium)
NOTE: I have tested Quake based games with old version of wine and they work. They even worked in Gallium drivers.
Game stopped working when i installed
amd-driver-installer-12.6-legacy-x86.x86_64
But I can play "Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy" smoothly. And many other games.

Installation on Ubuntu
by sacha on Saturday August 16th 2008, 19:22
Here's how I installed the Platinum Edition (2-disc install) on Ubuntu Hardy Heron under Wine 1.0 (the one that apt-get installs). AMD64, NVidia graphics.
I had just installed Ubuntu, so I had to:
1. Install NVidia drivers:
System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
Click the little checkbox next to the NVIDIA item
Reboot
2. Install wine:
sudo apt-get install wine
winecfg (to initialise wine; I made no further changes)
I installed the Linux native client, but used Wine to install the Windows version too, in order to get the .pk3 files required by the Linux client.
3. Download the latest Linux native client installer:
(In the installer, I chose to install it to ~/games/rtcw rather than /usr/local.)
All the files were owned by root, so I chmoded them to me:
chmod -R sacha:sacha .
5. Read the INSTALL file it installs.
Next, I installed the Windows version with wine.
6. Insert disc 1, and wait for Linux to mount it.
7. Run the Windows installer:
wine d:/Setup/rsrc/AUTORUN.EXE
A graphical dialog appears with some buttons; click through
to INSTALL.
On my machine, at this point I just got a black screen with some mis-rendered text at the top left. I thought it was bust, but actually it's the CD key dialog. (If you hit Esc a quit dialog appears, giving some clues.)
8. Enter the CD key (sticker on the inside of the DVD case, on mine at least) and hit Enter twice.
9. Click through the Windows installer, accepting the defaults.
10. At a certain point it asks for disc 2. You can't just eject the CD; in your terminal, type
wine eject
Stick in disc 2 and wait for Linux to mount the CD before clicking OK in the Windows installer, or you'll get an error.
Do the same when it asks you for disc 1 again.
Towards the end of the install the Windows installer reported some I/O errors; I don't know if this was a real problem with my discs. In any case, it had installed the files I needed, so I just bailed out (without accepting the Rollback option the installer offers).
11. Copy the files you need:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Return*/Main
cp -p pak0.pk3 sp_pak1.pk3 mp_pak0.pk3 ~/games/rtcw/main/
12. Run it!
cd ~/games/rtcw
./winesp
One last thing: I have a widescreen monitor (1680x1050). Wolf doesn't list this in its System options. To set it as the default resolution, create or edit the file
