I got this running on Crossover 15.0.1 without issues. For anyone that wants to know.

I have been able to get it to run in wine as well.

I used Wine ver 1.7.50, make sure you install dotnet or else the game will not boot. I installed dotnet40 and dxfullsetup.

Did you have any other dependencies installed in CrossOver? What platform are you running on and what hardware are you using?


I found that I had to install msxml3 (or .NET 2.0), and .NET 4.0, in addition to XNA 4 for the game to even start.

I haven't gotten the game to work though; the game keeps telling me, "No suitable graphics card found, Could not find a Direct3D device that supports the XNA Framework HiDef Profile."

I spent an hour or two tweaking wine to make it work, but I succeeded. I had your error as well!

The short answer: you should upgrade your Wine to be at least version 1.7.something. I made it work with Wine 1.9.4, from the WineHQ-devel packages from Ubuntu.

Long answer: I made it run on Ubuntu 15.10 with Wine 1.9.4. I had to install Wine from WineHQ-devel as described here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Then, I installed the following Windows packages using winetricks (an executable that gets installed with the wine setup):

msxml3
dotnet45
directx9
xna40

Hope this helps!

Thanks. I tried, and tried and tried and it was still a no go. For some reason, the dotnet45 entry in winetricks bundled with Wineskin on OS X seems to go all wonky; it installed .NET 2, then halted and asked to download the installer for .NET 3, and then halted because it said that it didn't need to install .NET 4.5 because .NET 2 was already present. When I ran msxml3 first, it also didn't want to install .NET 4.5.

dotnet4 did work in Wintricks though, and after installing everything I still get the error message.

As I mention on the game's release thread, the long and the short of it is that the for this in WINE seems to be only solved for a certain few games, as the information in [url=https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38648]this bug report on WineHQ suggests. Now, other people have been reporting the same bug in Windows, and there's even been a fix that's been suggested, but I haven't tried it yet.

Two things that I remember I did at some point, but I have no idea if they affect you too:

1) I had to get rid of the old (ubuntu) wine and also removed wine-mono, because it ships a "sort of .NET" library that just makes installing the real .NET troublesome.

2) I also got stuck on installing .NET 3. The reason was that the installation was complete, but it was minimized in the system tray. If you cancel the installation at that point (by terminating winetricks), you will stop the process and you will make it impossible to install .NET 4.5.

What I had to do instead is (after a refresh of the .wine directory) to right-click on the system tray on the .NET install icon, and select "Finish installation" (or something to that effect) without terminating winetricks. After that, winetricks continued and installed .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5 one by one. I understand. After installing everything "the right way", I got the "No suitable graphics card found error" in my setup and I solved it by removing stock Ubuntu Wine and installing the WineHQ version. I understand your problem may be unrelated.

PS: I also spent quite a bit of time setting this up, don't be discouraged!

This may or may not help those.

Crossover 15 is based on wine 1.8.
I setup a bottle with Windows 7 as the OS, Installed .Net 4.5.1 and 2.0, XNA 4.0, and dx9.

I also run Gentoo.

I had no errors or issues getting ti working so it is most likely the version of wine that causes problems. I believe that .net 4.0 and 4.5 weren't well supported until close to the release of 1.8. I also don't believe that .net 4.5 will install on anything less than a Vista or 7 Windows OS.

I also used Crossover 15 but based on Windows XP.

Setup a bottle with Net 4, Net 2, and XNA.

Installed program. Then reran with /nogui option.

In case you didn't see it, there seems to be some progress running it on OS X.

Thank you so much. I've downloaded DandoCalrissian's Wineskin wrapper, and installed directx9, dotnet4 and XNA4 in Winetricks; the game finally works, the only issue being the menu staying visible in fullscreen.

Thanks to you and everyone on the SV forums for all of the hard work they did!

Great job! Thanks for sharing!
