Call of Duty: Black Ops

how am i supposed to se dsound=native in wine 1.5.22 i dont see the option anywhere

Has anyone gotten Black Ops to run using wine on a laptop with Intel HD 3000 graphics? I can get it running in Win7 on another laptop with HD 3000, but not with wine on Ubuntu.

I'm using wine 1.3.19 and Black Ops works fine except for when I play Call of the Dead. Whenever I go into the level and go in the water, my screen becomes covered in frost (just the sites, this is normal), but the middle of my screen becomes all gray and blurry making it impossible to see anything at all (yes, I've tried it under windows, this doesn't happen under windows, the screen burrs but it is still visible), it goes away after a time but makes the level virtually unplayable.

Tested with wine 1.3.8, same problem

Hi you guys!

I've got lenovo v570 323A-3

Intel core i3 2310
NVIDIA GT 525M 1GB
RAM 3GB

Made Black Ops working just setting in regedit:

Direct3D section
VideoMemorySize = "512"
UseGLSL = "disabled"

Set windows version to "Windows 7" in winecfg

Installed DirectX and vcrun from Games directory.

I got working game, but very very slow fps on max settings, I can play a game, but that's 50% worse performance than I got on native Windows 7 env.

That suppose to be wine's fault or whom ?

and yeah, I'm using the latest unstable release of wine

Change

VideoMemorySize = "512"
UseGLSL = "disabled"

to

VideoMemorySize = "1024"
UseGLSL = "enabled"

Tried that before too, same thing: I've got unbelievably nice graphics, still very low fps.

And, yeah, forgot to tell that I got Optimus "damn technology" on my lenovo, using bumblebee (through VirtualGL) to make my NVIDIA discrete card to work

Try desabling shadows.

maybe a bit better performance, still not much luck, I think that's because of using VirtualGL, maybe its causing worse performance, not sure though

Even if i set dsound-native and Windows version to XP no sound in game. Tested it on two deferent PCs, same.

No need of dsound set to builtin, you should set the windows version to "windows 7", and that's all

The offical patch. Or the SKIDROW patch seems to work on Legal copies.

Download the patch to fix lag

Which patch fixes the lag?

Sound now works here too, OSSv4 (custom kernel without ALSA). I just installed the game, no updates/patches with the default DX/VCrun.

To anyone who reads the UseGLSL, it's enabled by default on every wine as of 29/10/2007 or Wine 0.9.49, said so by the wiki.

It doesn't lag or stutter here either, I'm going to see if I can get performance better but it isn't that bad.

With Linux kernel version 2.6.32 and nVidia drivers version 195.36.31 this game works flawlessly for me.

If I update my kernel to version 2.6.36 I also have to upgrade my nVidia drivers, as 195.36.31 will not build with this new kernel. When I then upgrade my nVidia drivers to version 260.19.29 I get a strange result. This game will then segfault every single time it is loaded. It segfaults immediately and does not even try to get to the title screen. It does not even open a new window on the screen.

The next-highest nVidia driver version after 195.36.31 offered by my distro (Gentoo) is 256.44. I have also tested nVidia driver versions 256.44, 256.52, 256.53, 260.19.21, and 260.19.26. I get the same result -- instant segfault.

The strange thing is that it only happens for this game. I can upgrade the kernel and nvidia drivers (any version listed above) and other games like Fallout: New Vegas work fine. Only this one gives me the insta-segfault.

Is this a bug in Wine?

I used PlayOnLinux official installer for this game, worked like a charm, with sound !!!

Thx PlayOnLinux Team :)

There is also no sound when running on windows except the cutscenes so it seems like it's a bug in the game. From what I read it lowers or even mutes the volume.

I did two things that made sound work flawlessly for me.

One, I installed the DirectX that comes with the game. If you didn't do that at initial installation, you can look in the game's directory (probably under Program Files) and you'll find it under a "Redist" subdirectory. This is unusual since in my experience, I am usually much better off using winetricks to install either "d3dx9" or "directx9".

Then I used winetricks to enable the dsound workaround. Just run the winetricks script with the argument "dsoundbug9612".

After that I had no problems at all with in-game sound. I use straight ALSA as enabled by the "winecfg" tool and didn't need to resort to OSS or any other system.

This not "silver", this is "garbage"... Very low FPS.

RAM 4gb

"Bronze

Application works, but it has some issues, even for normal use; a game may not redraw properly or display fonts in wrong colors, *be much slower than it should* etc."

I was able to get this game to work on OS X 10.6.5 but yeah the FPS is really low. I am hoping a patch will fix this. It seems to be a problem with the game not WINE. Also for OS X change audio in wincfg to emulation and sounds works everywhere for me.

Works flawlessly (as far as it can on P4 3GHz and GT 9500) out of the box on 1.3.7 with vcrun2005sp1 and dx9, debian lenny. It's painfully slow, but works.
Only problem – no sound, except in cutscenes, with both – OSS and ALSA.
On adequate system might run pretty well, if no-sound bug is fixed

p.s. "winetricks dsoundbug9612" as suggested bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25173 didn't work either

I got sound working after switching to OSS4 using this tutorial help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound.

TIP to get better performances :

In the game's graphic menu lower the refesh rate (mine was 110Hz, I set it to my screen refresh rate (60Hz)).

In my case this setting is not saved and I need to change it each time I start the game.

Sound works here out of the box (1.3.7 from playonlinux) on Debian squeeze AMD64 + alsa.
