joshmay07 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 The reason the windows dlls wont work is because fm needs java installed there is a code on the internet to install java in ubuntu just google it and then using the latest Wine you should be okay worked me with fm07 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble1690-123 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I said I did install that and still no luck Hi Have you tried running the game via the console using opengl ? if not in console type env WINEPREFIX="/home/roddy/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2009\fm.exe" -opengl you will need to change /roddy/ to your folders name If above does not work, there is a linux driver on intel website, which you can download Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild_oscar Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Buy Windows. Or, as I did, don't buy the game The idea is quite simple: if the developers didn't make an effort to develop a game for my OS, I shouldn't make an effort to pay them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
