Additional Comments

MBD - Asus Z87PRO CPU - Intel i7 4770k RAM - 32 GB RAM SSD - Samsung 840 PRO VID - Nvidia 440 GT (310.xx) OS Mode - Windows 7 Prefix works better on 32-Bit, so for 64-Bit users please do the following: rm -fr ~/.wine export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wine" winecfg If it helps, this is my complete winetrick component list that applies for most applications. It saves the time and trouble of any issues or needed DLLs. d3dx10 d3dx9_26 d3dx9_28 d3dx9_31 d3dx9_35 d3dx9_36 d3dx9_39 d3dx9_42 d3dx9_43 d3dx9 directx9 dotnet20sp1 dotnet20 dotnet30sp1 dotnet35 dotnet40 gfw mfc40 mfc42 msxml3 msxml4 msxml6 physx quartz vb6run vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun6sp6 vcrun6 wmp10 wsh56vb wsh57 xact_jun2010 xact xinput xna40

HOWTO: Install for those with sound issues. 

1. Install using this ( liflg.httpdnet.com/files/wine/call.of.duty_1.5-english.run )
Please Note: You may install as root (it will give ALL users access to the same COD) or as user, giving it to only one user. Saves on multiple installs.
2. Chmod directory to 0777 (you need write permission for configs).
3. Run winecfg. Ensure "driver emulation" under sound is not checked. Runs on ALSA or OSS (depending on your setup, I prefer ALSA but has been reported to work on OSS).
4. It will run as "codmp" or "codsp."

The Loki installer was designed to give WINE last preference.  If you wish to edit this, do the following:

Substitute paths and editor as required/desired.  The path used is Gentoo but I am told works on other distrobutions as well.
a) nano -w /usr/local/bin/codmp
Line 5 says "WINE_NAMES". The list will be checked sequentially. Remove WINE from the end, add it to the front. Alternatively, if you use CVSWINE, add cvswine to the beginning and remove cvswine from its position.
b) nano -w /usr/local/bin/codsp
Same as above

 
Keep in mind if you do not edit this file it will try Cedega, CVSCedega, Winex3 and CVSWinex and finally Winex before attempting to use WINE.

Since Winex3 and Winex are older software I strongly recommend moving WINE ahead of all of them, with the exception of Cedega if you are that way inclined.

While the issue actually has NOTHING to do with Call of Duty itself, it should be posted.

Some users will get a 507 "insufficient O/S priviliges" error in game. This is generated by "PunkBuster" the software that is aimed at stopping cheats.

For those wondering the same error occurs in Cedega 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 (as well as previous versions). This problem is not isolated to WINE, the same issue appears to occur on 64bit Installations of Windows XP and Mac OS X systems.

Please note: Users with this problem can still play on servers without PunkBuster enabled.  It is not an issue with Call of Duty.  All errors should be referred to the EvenBalance.com team.
