I'm fairly new to Linux and Wine. I bought IL-2/1946 because it was rated as "platinum", but it won't run. I got it to load, and made sure all the .exe files were marked as executable. It won't run. I go to the main exe file (il2fb.exe) and click on it with Nautilus open as administrator (or normal), and I've tried launching from the menu and wine icons on my desktop. All I get is a busy pointer then nothing. No errors or anything. I'm running Mint 10 (Ubuntu 10.10 based) on a quad core AMD with 4GB or ram. I've updated Il-2 to the 4.08 version with the available patch (seemed to patch okay -- ran the patch through Nautilus in Admin mode). This is the command under properties for the icon: env WINEPREFIX="/home/swygert/.wine" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\Ubisoft\\IL-2\ Sturmovik\ 1946\\il2fb.exe. I just got the bright idea to try running the command in terminal (I did say I was new to linux...). This is the result: An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
