Heyo, been a while. Been thinking about getting back into the game, but I've switched off of windows due to my rampant paranoia. I'm running debian, and was wondering if anyone has had any success getting the game to run with wine. I must have been gone for about a year, so I'm sure all the .exe's I've saved are outdated anyway. Thanks in advance.
If anyone has any other ideas, here's what I get when I try to run H2Launcher.exe from a 32 bit wine prefix:
Code:
fixme:wer:WerSetFlags (2) stub!
fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 stub
fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000380, 00000000): partial stub.
wine: Call from 0x7b43b97c to unimplemented function mscoree.dll.CorIsLatestSvc, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function mscoree.dll.CorIsLatestSvc called at address 0x7b43b97c (thread 001b), starting debugger...

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---Yeah, it runs on a 32 bit wine prefix. Disregard the code I posted above, I went ahead and scrapped that prefix and started a new one, did most of what I did before but with less mess, and now halo2.exe launches fine, but H2Launcher.exe only gives a dialogue box titled "H2Launcher.exe - .NET Framework Initialization" with the text: "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application." I think I've gotten .net 4.6.1 installed via a hack I found on WineHQ's appdb, but it's still saying that it can't find a runtime. Any thoughts?

Here are all the known bugs for installing .NET 4.5 (Isn't 4.6.1 i know, but still check this out.

)I'm at the point where I'm giving up. Still can't get cartographer to run, and after testing the campaign to see if the game is even playable, I found that it is not. There's a bunch of visual glitches, z fighting, artifacting, etc. The mouse look is totally fucked, it treats an arbitrary center placement of the mouse as like the center point of a joystick, and any movement away from that point is interpreted as movement in that direction.
Anyway, just wanted to vent some of my frustrations. Thanks for helping teddy, at least I got some other older games running in the process!

Glad i could help with the older games but yeah as to be expected:
Halo 2 for windows vista (not cartographer) wouldn't work very well with linux for reasons such as graphical artifacts.
Project Cartographer works well in WINE/Linux, but ultimately to get the best optimal experience windows is the best platform to play Halo 2 on (not the best thing to hear if Linux is your primary OS.)
If you can, Dual Boot!
