Hi, I’ve tried this but I can’t seem to get it to work properly. It will only run once after the installation.

If I install it again it works again, for 1 time …
Also the menu didn’t come up like it supposed to. A bit like Dusan said.

This game theoreticaly should work in WINE, there must be some workaround to get this to work realy nicely!!

you can email me if u know more…

Hi everything works but I see blurred rectangles instead of interface boxes, and in gameplay the car and som other elements are not visible..

I’ve been wanting to try this out for a while… not sure it’ll run on my old laptop, though.

Thanks for the guide - love WINE… I use it to play Dwarf Fortress - have you tried it?

Lasse: OMG this game is addictive!

Missing or corrupted sound is not a general problem, the previous DirectX game I installed on my dad’s Ubuntu box had perfect sound. You might even get it to work - for all I know there’s a setting in there I’ve overlooked, or maybe it’s a driver thing. You know how it is with Windows…

Mmm - looks nice. Got to try this weekend!

The problem with missing sound, is that global to all applications that runs in Wine, or is it specific to TMNf?
