The forum

Hi all,

I'm coming from the French team of PlayOnLinux (already contributed by the script FallOut II).

Today I'm playing BattleField 2 patched to version 1.41 without nocd (don't find one that work) installed with PlayOnLinux 3.7.3.
The game was working good, with a crappy mouse's cursor, and must set video parameters to lower to be able to play a full game.

I have first change the Wine version to 1.1.41, then the cursor was now perfect, and I could set video parameters to medium and play a game without problems, but I had a black sky very difficult to play...

Finaly I have switch to Wine 1.1.35, and then the game work completely !!
Full video options, big screen size [1600x1200], with 30 FPS.
The only problem still here is some black artefacts on the land.

Here are my screen shots :

Does the ground disappears after respawn? What graphic card have you?

No, no gfx problems ( only black artifacts ).

I have a nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX and I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04

Thanks for the answer. I will check that by my self at weekend and if it's as you say then I will change default Wine version in script.

Good news ! :)

There is something that I will check is the network game. ( requested from the french forum ).
So I will let you informed of the result ;)

I've just try with wine 1.1.36, and It's impossible to start the game with full video options.

Here are new screen shots with renderer.drawfps enabled !! :)



And here a printscreen with artefacts:

I have try the online gaming. It work well, but the server where I was trying to play have too much people.. so you are alive, walk a while and then you die... so :)

Here are screens with drawfts:

Ho and finally, one thing I discover, is that when you have all video options enabled, you will have the loading screen that switch from normal to green and back normal many times during loading like here :

A very nice network party this evening and 3 printscreens :

Did you succed to install the 1.5 patch??? if yes how do you do it???

Here again, some new screens as I am so happy about that game !





@Burn2: Nop, I wasn't able to install the patch... But since Ubuntu give me the new Wine, I have to try it again :)

@Burn2: Yep it work with the last wine version !

Edited by zedtux

Thanks! So the script should be updated to the last version of wine no???

It is wine 1.1.42 on my play on linux.
Is it the last version of wine?

(ps: i am french too :D)


EDIT: it is the last version on my repository so in fact it use the last version of wine so i will try to install the 1.5 if al is good for you on it. :)

Edited by Burn2

No !

The PlayOnLinux must use Wine 1.1.35 to run the game !
This is the only version where BF2 Work with full options !

It's only when you want to install the patch 1.5 that you need Wine 1.1.42. :)

Have good game ! :)

Since I have installed the 1.5 patch ... I can't find a server that's not kick me...

And the servers where I was playing before are not listed.

All server runing Bf2 1.5 have a Punkbuster version that kick me on ALL servers !

You must not install patch 1.5, only 1.41 !

In fact i do not play online so it's not a problem.

In my play on linux it is 1.1.42 that i use. The script use this version! And all works fine in fullscreen mode and with FSA!

Could you confirm that with this patch you could play on solo mode?


EDIT: if you look the script it is 1.1.42 in it...

EDIT3: in fact it works! i am on the map
