playing botf with wine on linux

Post by rd_dr »

Hi there,

this is my first post here and english isn't my native language, but i think it will work.

A few days ago i downloaded the main multiinstaller from your downloads section. Everything worked fine, but i had some problems with the right wine version. The game finally worked with wine 1.1.30, but i've still some issues.
Playing with the Cardassian Union or the Federation wasn't a problem, but with the Klingon Empire the game crashed with something like this:

~/.wine/drive_c/botf $ wine trek.exe

Anyway thanks for answers,
