TNM in Wine
I'm currently using linux for various reasons, but I soon realized that, although deus ex is fully compatible with wine, the way that TNM calls it's files makes it difficult to use in Wine. Does anyone know a way to play TNM using Wine?
Re: TNM in Wine
Worked out of the box for me. I did have to use winetricks to get the VC++ runtimes to install, since their normal installer wouldn't work.
Oh, and I disabled the alternative openGL renderer; it performs very badly for some reason I don't want to bother finding out.

Re: TNM in Wine
Start the mod with:
taskset -c 1 /usr/bin/wine "C:\DeusEx\System\TNM.exe" -hax0r INI="C:\DeusEx\TNM\System\TNM.ini" USERINI="C:\DeusEx\TNM\System\TNMUser.ini" log=TNM.log
The "taskset" part limits wine to 1 CPU, stopping Deus Ex from running too quickly during cutscenes. The "-hax0r INI..." is specified in the Windows desktop link that Wine creates.

Ironic that directx should be the better choice under windowsPleegWat wrote:I disabled the alternative openGL renderer; it performs very badly for some reason
Re: TNM in Wine
IIRC both the improved openGL and the directx drivers perform badly, providing a very low framerate. I'm using the original directx driver, which doesn't give any problems.
Possibly related, the openGL driver is still accessing the direct3d subsystems (sevaral wine debug messages show this).

Re: TNM in Wine
PleegWat, if you want to be constructive, then provide DETAIL - which of the hundreds of video cards, do you have, and which wine version are you using.
Re: TNM in Wine
Sry, should've clarified that. I was replying to that guy's comments. I'm not playing TNM or DX at the moment, so I'm not really interested in solving the problem.
But FYI, a geforce 8800 GTS on official binary drivers, Pentium D 3.00 ghz, ubuntu 9.10, wine 1.1.24-8-g01e3823 (self-compiled from sources, with a modification in the keyboard module that shouldn't affect DX.)
I will try the cpu affinity trick you described next time I play TNM, since I am also getting weird timing issues with the cinematics.
