I tried the above but my mp keeps crashing, after about 3 sec. just in case somebody doesn't know where to get it.Īctually, I already have Supermount enabled, I just didn't think about it while installing SoF2 as said, that way worked so I did it that way. Gentoo-sources 2.4.19-r10 has it patched in, all you have to do is enable it in the config stage. Nothing wrong with having 3 ways to accomplish the same task. What I meant by my post was that your way sounds like a low effort solution. Nor did I get the Install shield update to work. I never got supermount (which you are supposed to compile into the kernel) to work. Damn you bug fixers.Īcutally I say stick with the what works. Thought I'd help out the community and then this happens. Actually, the whole thing isn't needed anymore in that case. Well, seems like there's a fix for it then. I have always avoided the SOFII install, thanks Parena. Frankly this seems like a much easier solution. Other alternative to installing SOFII with winex that I have seen is to use SuperMount. WineX site says this was a problem with Install Shield and that a new version would fix it. Well, my Diablo 2 installation works that way. It's a common problem with multi-CD games under WineX I heard. Well, it seems that doesn't work, it doesn't see CD2 after changing it. Why not just umount the cdrom drive, and change the cd, and complete the installation as in windows? Last edited by PARENA on Fri 2:40 pm edited 1 time in total There, hope I covered everything and that you may all play this game. Oh, one more thing: if performance is no good, pull down the console and type "\pb_system 1" and that should fix it. I hope they fix this soon, though, 'coz all the kills still disappear quite fast. Just go to your console and type "\pb_msg" press tab and type The message now only appears if you pull down the console. The message is "PunkBuster Client: O/S Exception Notice" and it appears about 10 times/second. It also shows up at the top of the screen, where all console messages appear. If you did that update to PunkBuster, there's one little bad thingy: linux users get to see a message in their console (when playing on a server). Save the file to the ~/path/to/sof2/Pb directory and use winex to start it. It includes PunkBuster v0.995 and if you wish to upgrade to v1.016 (latest at time of writing) you can use the pbweb.exe utility ( to upgrade. Of course, you could just link to the capitalized PK3, but I like my files to look the same. For example:Īnd after that (assuming you're still in the base/mp dir): One of them (update101.PK3) had an extension written in caps. Afterwards, make sure you link the new pk3's again for MP usage. Once you've got it, just use winex to run it. Make sure you get the full version if you haven't patched it to 1.02 yet, not the lite Gold patch. I did get the game working with patch 1.02 earlier, but it seems there's some problems with that. That's it! Of course, I also installed the Gold Edition patch (1.03) of SoF2. Just go to the base/mp directory of your installation and link the pk3 files like this: Now it's time to make sure you get MultiPlayer going (assuming you want to). $ cd ~/.winex/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Soldier\ of\ Fortune\ II\ -\ Double\ Helix/base/ ( Update: read the next few posts for possible more neat / better solutions) Then, unmount your cdrom, replace CD1 with CD2 (mount it) and copy the files from CD2's base directory to wherever you're installing. When the setup program asks for CD2, kill winex (and wine). Installation starts, asks some questions and then you can sit back for a little while. You can choose any directory, of course, but I used /tmp Now, you go to /tmp, copy some files there and start the installation from that same directory. First, Insert CD1 and mount your cdrom. Just follow the instructions for this game. I tried it yesterday and Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix works great after a simple "emerge winex", starting winex to get your config file, put your cd-rom in the config file and done. I like to have Docs around instead of Googling everywhere, so here we go. Hope you all don't mind putting this post here (I had put it in another topic, but I thought it might come in handy in the Doc section).
