I too would like to get this game working, but the lack of support from the goddamned companies who manufacture these games in secret still kills me. You _Should_ specify the following in order to get help: Wine version OS version Game version When/How it/what fails >From my experiences it is somehow related to namedpipes, since that's where it fails. I also think that it might be related to the CD-Protection software, so I will be waiting for a crack/no-cd exe to try it out. It works fine in XP ofc. Jorl17
