Works in Linux/wine

Thanks! For some reason importing this didn't have any effect on the game's resolution. I was able to work it around, though:

1) I had to first downgrade Wine to 1.1.21, where resolution switching works,
2) I changed the resolution from the game settings to my screen's native resolution,
3) I upgraded Wine back to 1.1.25.

The registry keys are still the same as before, but now the game works in the desired resolution. Go figure.

I'll try to find some time to pin the regression in Wine's resolution changing code.

Thanks.
Amse.

I dont have the winecfg file, since everything in Wine is registered in the .reg files. If you want to see a specific piece of one of the .reg files or want more info on a specific setting, just ask.

did anyone manage to access the "treasure hunt" feature using wine? the treasure hunt menu item didn't appear in my installation and I was wondering if it was a wine issue or something else.

Ugh, this is driving me nuts. I have been trying to get Tales of Monkey Island to work under Wine but I have had zero luck, hopefully someone here can provide some assistance.

My problems are actually quite different than what anyone else has reported (both here and at appdb.winehq.org). My first problem is that if I install the game with a fresh .wine directory (basically consisting of absolutely nothing, including IE6), all I get is the typical white box with the spot to enter my serial number. I enter my serial number and get the same thing as a lot of people where it just keeps asking me for the number over and over again. No matter what though, even after killing wine and restarting the game, it keeps coming up to that screen. (and to answer everyone now, yes I have an active internet connection)

My other problem is that when I install IE6 and the ActiveX plugins, all I get is a grey box with the Telltale logo and it just sits there in an infinate loop. In my terminal it outputs:

fixme:seh:_abnormal_termination (void) stub
fixme:seh:_abnormal_termination (void) stub
fixme:seh:_abnormal_termination (void) stub
fixme:seh:_abnormal_termination (void) stub

and then a few lines of:

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object...

Has anybody ever had this happen to them?

Also, how is everyone entering their serial numbers? I tried entering the entire string into the box (with dashes and all). Is there a trick to entering it? Thanks a ton!

I got it to run under Crossover Games 7.1.2. I have an ATI 4850 HD graphics card, and got an annoying glitch: Many textures were invisible, so I had to run the game simultaneously on a windows-box and the linux-box to see the settings dialog, and shoot blind in the linux version until I got graphics quality down to 6, and the game turned from mostly black-on-black to normal. Then it seemed to run smoothly (except for font problems with the arrows and checkboxes in the settings dialog, but it seems fine elsewhere.)

Has anyone managed to get the treasure hunt to work under wine?

[Bigfoot77]

Wow, I finally got it working on my machine here. I had to back off my wine version to 1.1.9 in order to get the submit button to work. I probably could have used a newer version, but that was the first one that I tried to do it with. It plays just fine with 1.1.26, so from here on out, just know that you have to submit your serial number with an old version first.

Not yet, I noticed that it wasn't in there as well. That is the next thing that I am going to work on figuring out. I would much prefer to be able to play this game entirely under Linux on my desktop sitting upright in my nice chair as opposed to having to hunch over my laptop and play it on that always since that is the only machine that I have Windows on. I'll let you know what I find out!

Anyone checked out this thread? Lamentably, I haven't been able to play the treasure hunt either, yet...

Anyone got TOMI 2 working in wine? I install it, but when I launch it puts up a completely blank telltale games window (except for the black window bar across the top).

I played through all of TOMI 1 on wine, because I couldn't get it to work on VMware.

[jdimpson]

Answering my own question. I upgraded wine to version 1.1.9, and it works great.

Ubuntu users can get packages from here: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html

I had been using wine 1.0 for TOMI1, but for TOMI2 it works as described in my previous post. I originally upgraded to the current wine, 1.1.27, but it behaved as Bigfoot77 described (submit button wouldn't work).

I'm going to play it in 1.1.9 for now, but may upgrade to 1.1.27 if any other problems arise.

Running in window did not help. Submitted the bug to wine guys who marked it as invalid driver problem. Submitted the bug to Ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450086) and freedesktop (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24988) but not getting much attention. Wonder if they maybe a trick like the "disable glsl" one for me.

Dying to play! Bought the copy two months ago!!
