Installing Microsoft games on Linux

[hawkcl]

Hi All,

I am trying to install Microsoft games on FC3. I have only installed WINE, is there anything else I can use.

Games: Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Jedi Outcast......

Nope, I think the CVS server is outdated...
Follow this link
However, it didn´t work for me. There are some people that say paying for transgaming is the best way to go

Sorry, I am a newbie.

How does this work. Am I suppose to download the CVS code? Where should I begin?

PBHarris provided a link for a tutorial. Try that.

Also, check this other thread.

I mange to get the WineCVS.sh it does not do anything for me. I am confused. So without this Cedega, does that mean I cannot paly any Microsoft games? :-\

When you say it does not do anything for you, can you be more specific? How are you running the script? Are you getting any uotputs? Errors?

I download WineCVS.sh into my home folder. I double click on the ICON and the script ran. Then after that, nothing I am not sure if it is working.

I left it along after that. Waiting to see if anyone has a solution for me.

Scripts are not run by clicking on it. You have to run it from the command line.
Open a command shell, change directories to the place where you saved the script, and run

sh WineCVS.sh

Then follow the instructions.
