Drakensang: The Dark Eye

Attention duelists ( 😉 ),

as you may know, Drakensang released a few weeks ago (at least in Germany). So I decided to install it on Linux. Therefore I submitted it to the CW app-DB and signed in as the first advocate. The installation was successful and without any error. But the game just won't start. I tried to start it via console (so I just putted the command from the desktopicon into the console), but nothing happens. There is an windowbar on the bottom but it disappears after a few seconds. All this happens without any comment or sign of the system.

Therefore I need your help, because I really don't have any idea what to do with CO in this situation.

best regards

Mo

My System:
->Dell Inspirion 9400
->Nvidia Geforce Go 7800
->Inter Centrino Duo (2* 1833 MHz)
->Kubuntu 8.04.1
->Kernel: 2.6.24.19

I know that this may be really bad news, but it will probably be a while before this game comes to working order. If you would like to pitch in and help or just read what others are doing to see some functionality, I would suggest visiting WineHQ:

Our apologies, it is a shame that doesn't just run out of box. Looks really cool and all. I tried the things I know to try to get it to run through CrossOver... no go.

Oh, thats very sad. But thanks for this hint anyway. At least, I really don't know any trick to get things run in CO, but maybe the time will get this game running.
