Call of Duty: Black Ops Forum

Hello when I attempt to install Black Ops I get a installing script error when installing the game I can't install steam either which is odd from the programs install menu. Should I download steam then install it that way? Btw I am installing straight from the CD which I just bought.

Jeff

Figured issue out I have installed steam for Mac users then I put my code for black ops then I installed it on my Crossover Games.

Jeff

Hi,

You should be installing Steam by using the biultin install target.
It's available in the 'Supported Applications' section of the Crossover
installer GUI....

Cheers!

Okay new issue I have black ops running both multiplayer and Single Player but now I can't even load a Game On singleplayer i get through the introduction of where he goes back to Cuba but then after the Castro part it black screens and I am forced to quit the whole app. Now in single player I load a game with just practice map and I load all the way till the charcters part at the end and the little loading screen at the bottom right that turns is frozen and once again I have to quit the whole app. including crossover games.

Help me, Jeff

Hi,

Not sure about the problem you have there, other than to mention that
there was a Steam client update on Jan 11th which may have changed things.

Btw, can you tell us a bit more about your Mac...ie; model, OSX version,
video card/chipset fitted (and how much video ram you have)...

Cheers!

OSX 10.6.6
ATI Radeon HD 5670

I just had a read over at winehq wrt this release;

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21910&iTestingId=59019

That's mostly linuxcentric and what Mac entries are there
suggest OSX has troubles with the Steam release - I also
get the impression that the Steam version doesn't really
appreciate Ati videocards (an if this is so, it likely to
be somewhat worse in OSX due to driver difference).

This doesn't explain why it was working and now does not.

The only thing I could think you trying, is running the
game in windowed mode (or enable emulate a virtual desktop
in the Wine Configurator), and you could also experiment
with the Direc3D registry keys (although you might want
to leave UseGLSL=enabled with the Ati);

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="auto"
"UseGLSL"="enable"

The various settings for these keys are documented he;

There is no ''magic' answer - experimentation is the only
way you'll be able to discover if any key (or combination
of keys) will work for you....good luck!

Cheers!

Okay so i got a good windowed format but now i am getting directx3d program error or the same error as before where goes black screen after loading video.
