GunMetal?

VladP12 · Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:28 pm Post subject: GunMetal?

I so wanna play Gunmetal, but don't own a windows PC, as my dad says only linux in the house. Is there ANY way to get GunMetal up and running without having to install and switch to a windows system?

Have you tried it in Cedega? (I actually have this game, because it came with my video card, but am too lazy to install it)

Tried it in Cedega..... It starts the loading screen on the desktop, waits a few moments, and returns me back to the console

And that statement about linux in the house ---- WORST THING FOR ME, being a major gamer and all, not being able to play most of the good games :evil:

Funny, I didnt find Gun metal to be all that great... The first hour is a blast to play, but then you realize that you have just done pretty much everything that is cool in the game.

Is gunmetal directx or opengl based? You could try normal wine.

WINE would probably work... it's an old game...

geez -- "All the BEST games", huh?

Tried it in wine... just crashes because it doesn't find a CD... and I don't think its such an old game... I got it a 2 years ago with GeForce 4 MX440 along with BigMuthaTruckers, which too doesn't work

As far as i remeber it used DirectX 9 or 8

Hope this helps

Maybe you should configure wine to recognise your cd drive then

If you got an up2 date wine..

It won't work with Wine, it needs DirectX9. (There are two GunMetal games, one old form 1998 and one from 2003. I guess we are talking about the 2003 version...)

Yeah the 2003 version... so No solution then?

Yeah, i just tried installing it. a black screen appears for a second, then wine crashes. looks like no support for it any time soon.

Stop by #wine @ irc.freenode.net and maybe there is someone that can help you. (Usually there is

If you need DirectX support in wine, emerge wine-2004-1019. It comes with DriectX installed as i can play Diablo II with it without having to install DirectX

.

Yeah but DirectX 9 is older than this version of wine
