Hi, have recently bought MI5 (Tales of Monkey Island), and I am currently trying to run it under wine in Ubuntu 9.04 and I am running the latest development version 1.1.25. I am running this over the latest stable version due to less graphical errors when trying to run the game. To get the game running I followed this guide posted on the telltale's ( the creators of the game) forum > > I pulled out a laptop where I had some old wine (1.1.1) on Debian and it works pretty ok so far (I have not properly setup audion in that comp so I can't tell about sound), mouse controls ok, keyboard ok, quality maxed (9) > > All I had to do was: > > - run the installer in wine > - uncheck 'check for DX updates' > - get a copy of the file D3DX9_41.dll (you have one in any windows install of the game in the game's folde) and copy into wine's game's folder > - (I didn't launch game nor made a Desktop shortcut in the end) > - run the game in wine (MonkeyIsland101) > - when launcher pops up may be messed up (it was for me, all blank but an edit box to type the serial number in) > - type the serial number (from TT's your games page) (you need a working internet connection set up in Linux for it to work) > - wait some seconds, if launcher is blank (as it happened to me) kill/close the window > - run the game again in wine > - instead of the serial number input edit box you will get an hypertext link to start the game, click it and game will run > > happy gaming > The game starts fine but when text starts to be displayed I one get white blocks where text should be. Here you can see what I mean: [Image: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9409/monkeykpa.jpg ] [Image: http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9244/monkey2k.jpg ] I think these graphical errors probably have something to do with my graphics card because I have had similar problems in windows before and they were fixed by upgrading or changing by graphic card drivers. I have a dell Inspiron 6400 with a ATI Mobility Readon X1400. Any tips how I can solve this problem would be appreciated.
