HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

­Currently the C&C4 Beta cannot be installed in Wine as it requires .NET 3.5.  However, it is possible to get a working installation by copying an install from a Windows PC and using winetricks.

  1. Copy the C&C4 Beta­ install from a Windows PC
  2. Install d3dx9 from winetricks (./winetricks d3dx9)
  3. Install the MS VC++ 2005 Runtime (./winetricks vcrun2005)
  4. Configure the game executable, rts-final.exe, to use a virtual desktop of any size using 'winecfg'.
  5. Launch the game skipping the launcher (which uses .NET 3.5):
    wine "C:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Command & Conquer 4 Beta\\Data\\rts-final.exe" -config "C:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Command & Conquer 4 Beta\\CNC4Beta_english.SkuDef" ­

Making it run without Windows
by Lr5 on Saturday February 20th 2010, 13:34
1) Run CNC4Beta_v14.exe (The installer)
2) Wait until it has finished extracting, and complains that extraction failed - don't click to close it, let it run
3) Run the following commands, assuming a default Ubuntu installation (check the paths if not):


cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
mv temp/RarSFX0/ CNC4


4) Now you can close the installer message
5) To unpack the .cabs and make the game work, run the following commands:


cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/CNC4
mkdir Data/Data
mkdir Data/Data/Cursors
cabextract *.cab

6) To run the program:

Notes:
-The renaming commands should be written exactly as given, the names of the files you get from cabextract are NOT what they should be, they have additional uppercase letters and have no dots in them
-The default wine on Ubuntu 9.10 seems to be 1.0.1, and the game won't work on it. Install the latest wine to play (wine-1.1.39 when this was written)
-Trying to run from the CNC4 folder seems not to work, cd to the Data folder and try the given command
-The given commands place the game in a folder in the windows folder, you might want to move it somewhere else
