* The game installer (and launcher) requires .NET 3.5 SP1, tricking the installer that .NET 3.5 is installed allows you to proceed.

I get the same "The entry point method could not be loaded" error no matter which way I launch CnC 4. NOTE: I'm using a new clean WINEPREFIX with the DotNet35 regfix plus the vcrun2005_sp1 and d3dx9_36.dll setup as advised ( I tried without the winetrick fixes first before puting them in) with the latest winetrick version.

I am guessing that it's bailing because you don't have the .NET Windows Presentation Framework. This package is not provided by Mono and I do not believe the version of .NET that has it is supported yet under Wine. See if you can find a "CNC4.game" file anywhere, maybe you can skip the part that needs .NET in a way similar to what I have in the instructions.

OK start installation as reccommended above and install the Dot Net reg fix. the only difference is is to start steam then start CnC4 with the following long winded command...
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\command and conquer 4 tiberian twilight\Data\CNC4.game"-config "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\command and conquer 4 tiberian twilight\CNC4_English.SkuDef"

If I install and activate the Game properly under Windows (I have no Windows...) Will I still be asked to login when I start the Game ?
Thanks in advance

I don't know any of you has come across this problem...
I did everything as instructed (.net 3.5 hack, vcrun libraries, native dx9 libraries - courtesy of winetricks) but the installer gets stuck spitting...
err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles compressed file wasn't extracted (L"C:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight\\Data\\Apt.big")
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFiles" returned 1603
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned 1603
Is there a workaround to this?

Are you possibly installing the "Direct Download" version rather than the DVD version? Did you start with a fresh Wine prefix? I originally setup the game just fine on a "dirty" prefix but it might help to try on a fresh prefix.

I've bypassed the problem of connecting with official EA authentification server using "EA authentification server emulator".
I'm not posting it here since I think it's not safe for WINE and community.
It's very simple in setup only note is that you need to add modification to /etc/hosts so that auth requests would go to "your" server rather then to EA's one and run this "EA authentification server emulator" before you start the game, all that covered in a readme.txt which goes with "EA authentification server emulator".
The name of file is "CnC4_NoDVD.rar" thou it doesn't have anything to do with DVD, the server file name is "CNC4SERVER.exe", but I'm in doubt that this file names will aid any one in searching for it.

find . -type f | while read FILE; do md5sum "$FILE" >> ~/Desktop/cnc4-broken.md5; done
Then compare it to the one I've posted to my website (www.compholio.com/misc/cnc4.md5):
diff -u cnc4.md5 cnc4-broken.md5

md5sum -c ~/Desktop/cnc4.md5 | grep -v "OK"
That should tell us if any files don't match.

./Data/VivoxLogs/vx-2010.03.21..txt: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1631 computed checksums did NOT match
Which doesn't seem bad in my books
Could the host system play a part here as I'm running AMD64 Ubuntu 9.10 using the official wine ppa 1.1.41 deb

That will be great if you could try the ppa for me, I'll compile myself a copy and test that tonight as well.

Note: To "unload" your compiled version you will need to run "sudo make uninstall" in the source code directory. You can test that you are using the PPA version by running "which wine" in a terminal. If the command responds "/usr/bin/wine" then it's the PPA version, if it responds "/usr/local/bin/wine" then it's the version you compiled.
