I tried to install Call of Duty 1 (through Steam from the Steam PlayOnLinux script), but every time I try to run it I get an error message about a buffer overrun.
I'm under openSUSE 13.1 64 bit with Intel Graphics 4000 and KDE 4.11.

Thank you for posting! You have confirmed that the "buffer underrun" problem isn't just Debian distros.
There is not permanent fix yet because PlayOnLinux and Wine do not support Pulseaudio.

Actually it says "buffer overrun", not "buffer underrun"
Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Full text:
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Call of Duty\CoDSP.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.

Oh, that was unexpected. Hmm... In that case I have a few questions: 1. Can you play any other games in Linux? 2. Do you need to install 32-bit libraries in openSUSE to play 32-bit games? 3. Did you install the Intel proprietary graphics drivers?

Intel has no proprietery Linux driver, the open source driver is the official one. Also I get the same error when trying to run it with nvidia graphics vith bumblebee. And "other games" in general does work. But i suppose it could be some missing libraries.

ah, so your laptop is one of those dual GPU setups. Those have been difficult to troubleshoot for games. Its hard to enable one and not the other, which is what Bumblebee is for, but I've read a lot of posts about people having problems with them. You can also post the debug from PlayOnLinux and it may give us a clue about what is going on.

Well, as long as you use the Intel IGP, which the screen is connected to, it shouldn't matter that there is another graphics card in there.
As for the PlayOnLinux Debugger, it only seems to give me messages about steam, not the game.

Thats fine... open WinSteam and then launch Call of Duty. When it crashes with the "Buffer Overrun" error, copy everything in the debug an post. It may even tell us missing libraries.
Then install the libraries that Call of Duty requires. Probably d3dx9, vcrun2005, corefonts, tahoma, etc
Don't forget you can cut-n-paste the Call Of Duty game folder and paste it to your desktop. Its in home/.PlayOnLinux/Steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common
Then after you do the manual installation cut-n-paste it back to the same Common folder and you won't have to download the entire game again.
This way you can also try different versions of Wine as well. Steam only works with Wine 1.6.2 & 1.7.8 or newer

I saw this on WineHQ
Looks like the overflow may be caused by a (surmising) too-lengthy list of OpenGL extensions supported in the most recent NVIDIA drivers. There is an environment variable that can be set to limit the list of extensions to those present in a given driver version. Editing the application launch code to include this environment variable cures the buffer overflow on launch, here. Workaround: In codsp and codmp, change the line $WINE_EXEC $GAME_BINARY "$@" && to __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 $WINE_EXEC $GAME_BINARY "$@" && to limit the extension list to those present in an older (177.00) version of the NVIDIA graphics driver. Works for me.
also this
The simplest way is to go to your game folder (it should contain CoDSP.exe), open a terminal there and instead of starting the game with wine CoDSP.exe start it with: __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 wine CoDSP.exe (That first character is a double underscore.) |

Ok, that way the game at least starts (at least when using Nvidia graphics). After I installed "d3dx9" (and "vcrun2005", not sure if that was necessary) i could also watch the intro movie, however when it gets to the main menu it either crashes or the graphics gets corrupted and I am forced to kill it. I would try "tahoma", but I am on a very slow Internet connection right now.

With "MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2010" the game worked with Intel graphics (though I also had to enable s3tc with "force_s3tc_enable=true"). Now the game seems to work fine.

That figures it came down to a driver issue. I'll never fully understand why laptops need to video chips? Glad you got it working. Don't forget to mark this thread as "solved" Thanks
