1. You will not be able to install the game from within Linux/Mac OSX. Put the DVD in a windows machine and share the drive to avoid errors about "Data3.cab".

2. The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software in this program
   prevents it from running in CrossOver. If you are in a legal jurisdiction
   which allows removal of such software, you may have luck running this
   program. Unfortunately, CodeWeavers, because they are subject to the
   Digital Millennium Copyright Act, will be unable to support you.

3. Download the original Microsoft "dxdiagn.dll" from
   http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/D/dxdiagn.dll/5.03.2600.2180/download.html and replace the one in "drive_c/windows/system32" on you wine bottle.

4. Click Configure->Manage Bottles->Your Bottle->Control Panel/winecfg.

5. Click the Libraries tab, type in d3d10 under "New override for library" and click "Add". You'll now see "d3d10 (native,builtin)", hit "Edit" and select "Disabled" and hit "OK".

6. Then again under "New override for library", type in dxdiagn and click "Add". You'll now see "dxdiagn (native,builtin)" added to the list, so hit "Apply" and then "OK" to exit.

7. The game should now run, albeit quite slowly. (±10 FPS on a 2.1Ghz MacBook Pro with a 128MB ATI Radeon X1600).

8. Increase performance by creating the following registry key in windows:
   "HKEY_CURRENT_USER => Software => Wine => Direct3D"
   Enter the following:
   "DirectDrawRenderer => opengl"
   "OffscreenRenderingMode => backbuffer"
   "RenderTargetLockMode => readdraw"
   "UseGLSL => disabled"
   "VideoMemorySize => 128"

where "VideoMemorySize" should be set to the amount of video card RAM your display card has.

10. You can further increase performance by reducing the sound quality. Create a 'DirectSound' key and add the following:
    DefaultBitsPerSample => 8
    DefaultSampleRate => 22050
    EmulDriver => Y

Hi,

Thanks for the info, quick question in steps 9 and 10 where do i go in my mac and make these changes?

Thanks,

Z

From CrossOver's Programs menu, select Run Command. In the Run Command dialog, select the bottle and use "regedit" as the command. Steps 9 and 10 are done in the Registry Editor that comes up.

I belive that with CodeWeavers' new policy, this hint has to go away unfortunately.

Agreed. Apologies for the edit.

I have got this working under Leopard with Crossover Games 7.x.x. However, currently, game starts briefly and the crashes (Snow Leopard 10.6.2, Crossover Games 8.0.0) with the following message:

fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33de5c) using GetSystemInfo()
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl unsupported WS_IOCTL cmd (9800000c)
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl ignoring keepalive interval and timeout

err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x9ec7e0

Any ideas about this?
