Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Forum

COG version: 7.2.2
OS: MAC OSX 10.5.7
Sytsem: Macbook unitbody 2.0Ghz. Nvidia 9400M.

Make an xp bottle via managed bottles.
Via managed bottles --> control panel --> winecfg --> graphic tab --> check virtual desktop 800*600 (you can change it later)
Uncheck those 2 selected window mangagement options.

Now install red alert 2 in that bottle.
Game should run now!

Because the gameplay is quite slow, the following can be done to make this great playable:

Run 'wine regedit', browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine. If there is no key (the stuff with folder icons) called AppDefaults, then create it
Right-click on that key and create a new key game.exe
Create a new subkey Direct3D. In that key create two string variables:
DirectDrawRenderer with value opengl
RenderTargetLockMode with value readtex

Have Fun!

Where do I find the XP bottle via managed bottles? then control panel, winecfg, etc.?

Thanks

Ok I tried installing with the settings you said (virtual desktop, uncheck management items, etc.) and it still just came up with the 'Install red alert 2' window and I clicked install and it just went away and said it was success full, yet it never installed and there is no application in my programs list.

Please help :(

I did that, but when I click 'Install Unsupported Software' and try to install it from the disc, the RA2 install screen comes up, I click 'Install' on the Red Alert 2 Set Up screen, then everything quits. After that, the RA2 installer quits out and CrossOver Games says the installation was successful and the log is located at something like unsupported-12.log or something. Also, nothing was actually installed or modified in my applications menu in CrossOver.

Did this happen to you? I'm using CrossOver Games 8.1.4 and I REALLY want to play RA2 in Mac OS X :(

Thanks for helping!

Is it a problem that I'm using CrossOver Games 8.1.4 instead of 7, like you are?
