FIND SOUTION SEE THE LAST POST

 

Hi Guys,

 

Using BF2 on playonlinux for a while, i try to reinstall it recently, but it's a fail!

I try on Ubuntu and Debian and all the installation goes well, BF2, patch 1.41, 1.5, BF2hub.... all is ok and at the end it is impossible to launch it.

My last working installation was with this thread last february:

 

http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/battlefield-2-patches-guide.158/page-2

 

I try it with lot of differents wine version, but now it seems that i can't use old wine version(unable to open correct windows while installing)

And try it with my two differents CDRom (yes i have two CDkeys ;-)

 

That is the report of the bug, but i don't really know what to search? Is any one have an idea?

 

PS: I have still a working game on my laptop, i try to move it with vault but it fails to.

Nice for the feedback.  Perhaps this may help a bit: How to Read Debug Logs .

Thanks Dadu042!

 

Hi everyone,

Find the solution damn idiot!

Often switching from ubuntu to debian to other linux. Maybe ubuntu is more automated.

On my laptop for example, on debian, i install playonlinux, but i've just find out that only playonlinux is installed and all wine libraries are missing!

So i copied all my .playonlinux directory from my PC to my Laptop for example, next i install playonlinux by a wrong way, and in the settings of a game from my old directory i see wine 3.2 is installed, but it is not!

And it is quite difficult to understand because playonlinux open a window when you launch your game and say wine or playonlinux has crashed and can't launch your app

So the write way:

- install your graphic drivers

- install wine and playonlinux

-install your game by your CD or DVD

- or replace your .playonlinux directory by the one you have copied on your other computer

 

enjoy!

Nice!  Glad you got it working.

I would like to add the following...

 

Install in this order:

  1. Stable Wine
  2. Xterm
  3. ia32-libs
  4. PlayOnLinux 4.3.4
  5. Overrides:  corefonts, d3dx9, tahoma
  6. Copy all files and cab files from CD/DVD ROMS into a folder
  7. Install from the folder with setup.exe
  8. only install patch 1.5 (includes no CD executable)

 

There is also a shader fix for those black squares that appear on the ground.

  1. Sign up on the battlefieldsingleplayer.com Forum
  2. Download a new "shaders_client.zip" (attached at the bottom of the post)
  3. Navigate to the mods directory C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\
  4. Rename shaders_client.zip (or delete at your own risk)
  5. Copy new shaders_client.zip to the same directory
  6. Delete the Battlefield 2 cache folder: Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2
  7. Launch Battlefield 2 and run a simple singleplayer level to recompile shaders

I hope you don't mind attaching myself here. it's the most current BF2 on linux post i could find. I managed to install it well, however i have controls issue and i tried all sorts of things i could find online and could not resolve it.

install went fine as did the patching to 1.5. i then ran it and added mod that loads 64bit maps to single player (BF2ALL64). the mod switching runs fine and all. but the issue is that mouse on tank gun and anti air is super slow. so the tank turret turns only a little bit and then stops. it looks like the game thinks i am using that special controller they added support for in 1.5.

so i tried reseting controls to default, but it didn't help. mouse overried and virtual deskotp solved mouse issue on sleection screen but again it doesn't work on tank turret. i also tried to reset profiles. i tried increasing speed, increasing sensitivity, changing DPI on mouse, increasing controller sensitivity in game, disabling joystic in registry... nothing works. any ideas? i assume none of you had this issue since i can't find any post detailing it? i checked wineappdb, issues (similar) reported on windows etc. i just can't find any solution for this.

btw thanks for the shader fix. i think if you set terrain to low, it also resolves it.

Yeah, this is a common issue.  It ight still be related the the virtual desktop.

  • Make sure your game is in Fullscreen
  • Make sure Virtual Desktop is enabled
  • Make sure "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" is checked in the Graphics tab in Wine Configuration.

That may fix the issue.  Really sounds like the mouse is leaving the window while playing.  I noticed the tank cannon is definite slower, but you can also adjust the mouse controls for vehicles in-game too.

Maybe try a newer version of Wine:  6.0 64-bit or 6.3

Even staging versions might have a fix for it.

in graphics tab settings all options have boxes checked.

staging has worse performance.

i went back to system and i tried cleaning all directx libraries. i made sure to run the game in same resolution and in full screen (and i am launching mod):

+modPath mods/bf2all64 +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

i removed the profies and recreated them.
 

the game runs really well and i seems that mouse settings for player (so oursite of any vehicle) are now taken into acocunt.

but tank turret and APC turret are still super slow or hardly moving. the funny thing is because the machinegun on tank (the one outside) is working well. also other MG like th eone in chopper, on boat all work. anti air allied is moving slow, but MEC and china is normal.

to me this look liek spearate setting is sued for specific turrets and i don't know wher eto find it. the .con files are a bit confiusing as you can see duplicated settings in various files. so it is hard to say which one is master. and also what they are actually setting. for example in game folder (not the one in documents) there are mod fodlers and in default game there is a special settings file (land.com) that has two lines added for mouse setting
rem *** Additional variables***
game.setLandSeaKeyboardSensitivity 0.500000
game.setLandSeaMouseSensitivity 0.250000
game.setLandSeaMouseInvert 0

how is landsea suddeenly the same and what do these affect. the game is rather strange as it has so many copies of settings. if you ask me there should be onyl two - master setting (defaults) and user setting

more tests - i reinstalled (fresh install) with lower patch only (so only 1.41). same issue on single player, but:

 

- no issue on multiplayer (LAN)

- no issue on single player if resolution is set to 800x600.

indecision

anything i am missing here in the settings? i tunred off virtualdesktop as it showed better result. no mouse warping ovverid or simialr. i do have mouse acceleration in KDE settings. mostly i would switch to raw input when in games.

 

i moved the installed virtual disk to Kubuntu 20.04 but with AMD GPU chip. resolutuion was not stretched to fullscreen and the game crashed when loading. so i will do a fresh install over there as well when i have the time. just to see what's up. it would be good to have 1.5 patch working well as it has more maps.

Have you just tried Battlefield 2 vanilla and tank turret movement?

I wonder if its the All64 mod that is causing the issue?

Fresh install is always a good idea, specially with wineprefixes and Wine.

so we did some more testing over the weekend and vanilla or modded is acting this way. as soon as i move to non native resolution i get the propper movement. so i gues i can lower the resolution and feel like a pro gamer doing it. :-D movement is also not an issue if i connect to local server. i think we ened to try the 1.5. patch again.

 

we also did some lan games with bots and i got huge ping spikes and network lag. this would cause movement of units back and forth and jeeps diving into ground or units standing while being reported killed. could this be something connected to direct play or something like that that could be missing? i checked and some people did have thi ssisue but on multiplayer servers.

i wonder it if would help if we ran dedicated server?

also (offtopic form Play on linux) shouldn't bots be joining coop lan game?

That is a good question, must be something with 64 players and syncing over the network.

I've never actually tried a 64 player map with a mod that adds bots in Linux.

Not sure the limitations of Wine in this scenario... but I'm sure there is going to be some kind of bottleneck.

But yes, the bots should be joining if it is considered a co-op map by Battlefield 2

Hopefully they all retain their paths
