Call of Duty

What works

Everything

What does not

A "buffer overrun detected error" is triggered when running the game using an Nvidia driver beyond 185.18.36. Ubuntu 10.04 ships with an Nvidia driver 195.36.24. To fix this issue, change your startup command. From this: "wine CoDSP.exe" To this: "__GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 wine CoDSP.exe" The __GL_ExtensionStringVersion is an environment variable that in this case is set to 17700. What this is doing it telling the NVIDIA driver to report the GL_ExtensionString as if the driver was from the 177.00 series. This eliminates the overrun error and allows the game to start. This fix also works on Call of Duty - United Offensive.
