Additional Comments

Two things are necessary to get the game to play right. First the keyboard controls (Kate moves bit forward and stops): This is fixed by running "xset -r" which turns off the keyboard repeat. Do this by executing "xset -r" from an xterm prior to running the game. The second is the cut-off dialog and cut scenes. This is fixed by setting Vsync in OpenGL. Do this (Nvidia) running "nvidia-settings" from a terminal, then clicking on "OpenGL Settings" then by checking the box next to "Sync to VBlank". On ATI, from an xterm, execute amdccle then click the "+" next to 3D and click on "More Settings". Move the "Performance" slider all the way to the right (for VSync always on.) Finally, launch the game with: wine lithtech.exe -windowtitle "No One Lives Forever" -rez NOLF.rez -rez NOLF2.rez -rez NOLFdll.rez -rez NOLFl.rez

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
  • To get NOLF running on newer versions than Wine 1.5.1, run:
    winetricks dsound directmusic
    Afterwards, open up winecfg, go to the "Libraries" tab and set dsound to Builtin.
    You can also disable the music if you really want to play without it.

  • If you are stuck on the loading screen, disable animated loading screens in the launcher, too.

  • If the launcher fails to find your CD, start the game with lithtech.exe and all rez-files as parameters.
    ­$ wine lithtech.exe -rez rezfile1.rez -rez rezfile2.rez ...
    This script should w­ork with all version of NOLF:
    $ wine lithtech.exe $(for f in $(ls|grep -i rez$); do echo "-rez $f"; done)
  • For widescreen, you can pass more options to the command line:
    ++screenwidth "1920" ++screenheight "1080" ++screendepth "32"
    However, this stretches the game. A better widescreen fix is available here, but you can't play online with it.

  • To be able to play online, edit your /etc/hosts.
