Disk Version will not install

tried to install the disk version, but it wont let me enter all the serial numbers for some reason. FRUSTRATING! i am on ubuntu 10.04 using crossover games 9.2.0

what do you mean all the serial numbers?
if you mean this '[FIXED]Can't Install Supreme Commander because the cd key wont fit'
then have a look here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7038 (scroll down a bit)

thanks, ill try that

ok, now i am having issues with it just showing a black screen when i launch the game. the cursor comes up with the standard supreme commander one, but the background is black. i can hear the audio of the intro videos as well. ive used the game on this computer in windows in the past with no issue (not using windows at all now) so i know i meet the minimum requirements. i can also hear the menu music. I have also set it to run in a window via the wine config setup. oh yeah, ive updated it to 1.1.3280

EDIT: ok now it wont even get that far. im getting an error message telling me to verify my system meets minimum requirements.(unable to start. please ensure video hardware meets minimum spesifications. please ensure your system has current videocard drivers.) I have an intel core2quad, nvidia gforce GT 240, and 4 gb of ram. way more then i need to run this game. i have the official nvidia drivers installed as well (ubuntu 10.04), also seems safe mode works the same as before though, with the black screen. i got this message after setting the virtual desktop to 1024x768.

no use :/
i think i will try a fresh install and patch to a different version instead of the latest one.

thanks for the help so far by the way. I really appreciate it.

EDIT: fresh install and patched to the suggested version, and it still no use unfortunately.

Anyone found solution to this ?
I got SC installaton OK, then on start it tells me that i have to verify my system reqs also....

What now ?

Try reinstalling directX 9 into the same bottle as the application. I'm trying it right now, so we'll see if it works. Also, another thing that might work is going to the manage bottles window, select the bottle, go to control panel and choose wine configuration. Choose the "graphics" tab and select "emulate a virtual desktop". I know this works for LOTRO, so it's at least worth a shot.
