Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Forum

CnC 3: Tiberium Wars uses animated cursors right from the outset.

A few google searches reveal that these don't seem to be supported in the current stock version of Wine or cxgames.

Consequently, though the game installs well and runs well, I can't see the cursor, and so can't really play.

Hopefully proper support for animated cursors will be integrated into cxgames soon, and it'll be playable, but until then, we'll just have to wait.

edit:
The 'Tips & Tricks' say that you get your system cursor, but I think that was an older version of cxgames, now you just get nothing.

I've got an easy solution for the cursor problem:

Download this file and replace the containing .ani files with the ones in your Cursors folder. (/RetailExe/1.9/data/Cursors/)
(Tested on Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars v1.9 on Ubuntu v8.04, Wine v1.1.5)

These are pictures from the animated cursors (.ani) converted to normal cursor (.cur) files and then renamed back to the .ani files.
It works like a charm without changing your Wine version or patching and compiling. The only disadvantage is that the cursors don't animate

Did not work for me.
