What does not

Additional Comments

Need to install d3dx9 using winetricks. Need to obtain and install a no CD crack otherwise you can't run the game. When installing, you need to have created iso's for both disks so they can both be simultaneously mounted while installing.

Bumblebee: Nvidia vs Intel
by Jason Champion on Thursday August 15th 2013, 15:38
On an Ubuntu 13.04 system with Wine 1.6 and a Bumblebee-enabled system, this game works flawlessly when using the Nvidia hardware (via optirun)

It does not work using Intel integrated graphics - there is a diagonal line across the screen with the image reflected across it, and though the game does actually load, the menus and screens are illegible/unusable.

An old trick used to be to copy all the disks to the same location on your hard drive and run the install that way, before the Steam version came out thats what we had to do.

Also, you should be able to alt-tab to a terminal and eject the cd, and mount the next one without wine complaining. Wine shouldn't lock the cd anymore.

hope this helps.

Graphics glitch in menu
by Simon Speck on Tuesday September 4th 2012, 6:47
I'm running 1.4-rc1. Installing did not work at first. After deselecting the add-ons in installer everything went just fine.

But when I start the game I just see a blue-silver screen with flickering stripes.

Could anyone help me please?
