Hey Bassir. I am in need of assistance.

[Kingoftherings]

I'm trying to get Far Cry to work in Wine (0.9.43) using Ubuntu 7.04, and I got Far Cry installed but when I run FarCry.exe from the terminal I get a 'Segmentation Fault (Core Dumped)' error, and thats all it says.

Am I screwed?  I guess it doesn't really matter since I have Far Cry on my main gaming rig, I just wanted to try this for fun.

Bassir is the smartest computer person we got. He can do it.

Are you saying you're trying to emulate a Windows video game? What the hell were you thinking? I really don't believe you can successfully emulate a video game made for Windows through something like Wine.

Its supposed to work.  Wine translates DirectX to OpenGL.

It even got a gold rating on WineHQ's AppDB

Maybe there's something wrong with your copy of FarCry?

It works in Windows.  O_o

You're trying to emulate it in a completely different OS with software still in the 0.'s.

Wine
Is
Not an
Emulator

And it's been done with WoW.

Wine is worthless.

It's been done with FarCry, too... but It's not working now, is it?

Not really. It's a great piece of software, but it still has so many flaws. The farthest I got with it, was running Trillian--but even then, it was awfully slow.

I've gotten it to run WinZip before.   flower;

And Ad-Aware.  :P

Both of which you don't need. Forget about the stuff on your Windows box, and focus on the software and shit on Linux.

I know I didn't need them, I was just playing with Wine.  :P
