How To: Run Call of Duty 4 (COD4): Modern Combat in Linux
Games, Linux, Video February 21st, 2008
Here in the city I affectionately call Salt Lake Shitty, Utah – it’s about as cold as a witch wearing an iron cupped bra doing push ups in the snow.
To offset this chilly weather, my best friend in the entire world* Yahtzee, who does a little piece for Escapist Magazine every Wednesday called Zero Punctuation warmed up to Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat, calling it a “Pretty Excellent Gun Wank” which in my book means it’s a 5-star title, and worth playing – but only if it runs in Wine.
*I am not actually friends with Yahtzee.
The Wine Application DB website says the compatibility rating of the game is Silver, which means it works excellently for ‘normal’ use. In less generalized color coded terms, this means that it works near perfectly after recompiling Wine.
I can hear the groaning and murmurs in the background – stop it!!! All this requires is a little bit of brainless copy and paste from this page into a terminal.
I spent a significant amount of time getting this to work on my own, and apparently I *did not* quote the source of most of what I posted here, for which I apologize. As far as I can recall, I had gone though the process of recompiling Wine with the 3dmark patch, downloading the D3D DLL and found a guide on Ubuntu Forums by ahaslam that had all my work plus more already posted.
Getting COD4 to run in Wine is really no more complicated than say… my tutorial on running all the games in the Orange Box (TF2, Portal, HL2, etc). Getting COD4 up and running takes a little bit more time, since compiling Wine takes the better part of 15 minutes on a relatively fast computer.
On a side note, perhaps the Department of Homeland Security should take a hint from the Wine folks and change their color-coded terrorism threat level matrix, since Wine’s implementation works pretty damn well, if I say so myself.
The story of my life is that I’m ready to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of gum. ARE YOU WITH ME? Let’s go and kill our existing Wine installation, and install a couple tools since we’re going to be rolling our own. Yeehaw!
sudo apt-get remove wine
rm -r ~/.wine
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall rar
Next let’s download the source code for Wine, download and apply the “3dmark” diff patch, then recompile Wine. This guide has been updated to use Wine 0.9.56 and several changes have been made after usability testing. 
mkdir wine && cd wine
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine-0.9.56.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf wine-0.9.56.tar.bz2
wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8548
cp attachment.cgi\?id\=8548 wine-0.9.56/3dmark.diff && cd wine-0.9.56
patch -p1 < 3dmark.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-opengl --with-x
make depend && make
sudo checkinstall
wineprefixcreate
Now, we need to download and install a DirectX DLL file so that everything runs smoothly:
wget http://www.m3fe.com/files/d3dx9_34.zip
unzip d3dx9_34.zip -d ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
Change Wine to use Windows XP emulation mode, and ddd “d3dx9_34.dll” into the winecfg Library section as a Native dll:
winecfg
On the Application tab, change the Windows Version to Windows XP
Now goto the Library tab, type in d3dx9_34.dll and press the Add button.
Now, I bought the game from Direct2Drive, which means I have an electronic copy – No disc at all, so after extracting the archive of the installation files I opened setup.exe from the directory I extracted it to. If you have the DVD version, just open the setup.exe file from your DVD with Wine.
Installation is a fairly standard process, however I had an issue that cropped up the two times I attempted to test my method, where it failed during the first attempt, but on the second attempt to install the game, it went through flawlessly. I did NOT install PunkBuster because it is not compatible with Wine – yet.
I installed a No-CD patch from Game Copy World just for good measure, and if you’re installing from a CD, you definitely will want this to avoid needing the CD every time you want to play the game or if you get this error like I did:
To install the No-DVD patch, download the iw3sp.exe file from Game Copy World, extract it to your Desktop, then run the following commands which will backup your existing game executable and copy the No-DVD patched one in its’ place:
mv ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Activision/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4\ -\ Modern\ Warfare/iw3sp.exe iw3sp.exe.backup
cp ~/Desktop/iw3sp.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Activision/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4\ -\ Modern\ Warfare/
Finally, we’re ready to actually run the game.
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Activision/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4\ -\ Modern\ Warfare/
wine iw3sp.exe
Unfortunately, a Silver rated game means that some things don’t work, and some configuration changes are needed to make the game run smoothly. Turn off the following options for optimal performance:
Anti-aliasing
Sync Every Frame
Shadows
Specular Map
Depth of Field
Glow
Number of Dynamic Lights
Soften Smoke Edges
Soften Smoke Edges is the most important – Make SURE you turn this off, otherwise the game will not be playable at all.
Here’s a video of the game in action, enjoy!
The video doesn’t really capture the absolutely beautiful graphics COD4 has, it’s a really fantastic game engine. The maps are sweet, and the fact that it’s playable in Wine after a couple tweaks lets me easily recommend
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
to all you Linux gamers out there.

WOW. That is amazing! Any idea if the wine devs plan on implementing this patch into the main install of wine? Or is this something they are working to implement natively on their own?
The patch has been floating around for quite some time now, I’m not sure if it will be integrated into the main branch.
That looks good, but I don’t want to ruin my wine install
But is it possible to run hl2 etc faster with this 3dmark patch?
Woo, you get what looks like a nice framerate! How powerful is your system?
I hope this may help you about running PB in Linux.
Please make tutorial about this:
http://shiven.net/forum/thread/4/10810/punkbuster-on-linux/
k00pa: You can always “upgrade” this version to the latest version without much trouble.
I’m not sure on the HL2 performance/3dmark patch relation, I’ll test it out later.
Oli: 3.2GHz Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, 7800GT, Raptor
Gil: Nice find! I’ll look into that, I haven’t even attempted to run PB after it failed the first time around, I’ll have to take a look at what errors it gives when it fails.
Hi there! Good work!
Since you’ve already got it running in wine, could you please take the time to run it on windows as well, on the same machine and benchmark it? It would be awesome to see how many fps you loose using wine. Almost looks too good to be true
Jon:
Thanks for visiting the site, and thanks for the comment, they are much appreciated.
Instead of installing Windows and then the game which would take a couple hours away from other things like … oh… writing new articles, which you apparently enjoy, I’ll just give you a rough guesstimate:
Running a game in Wine in a real-world scenario around a 10-20% reduction in FPS.
It sounds like a lot, but it’s not much in reality when you do the math.
I’m getting 50-60 FPS in Wine, that’d mean windows would be running at 60-72 FPS if my 20% guesstimate is correct – not bad, eh?
Also, I’m running a LCD, so anything over 60FPS is just wasted since the hardware is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate.
I try to respond to everybody… unless there’s hundreds of comments on an article then it’s mostly people responding to each other.
Yeah, it did seem too good to be true, but that’s why I made a video to prove it works. Haha! On an unrelated note, I’m VERY excited about the new nVidia 9000 series video cards.
Awesome work again wayne!
Cod4 was one of the last things that keeps me dual booting on my main desktop, so I’ll give this a go
Wayne is the process the same with 0.9.56 that just came out? Or would the patch break that?
And I might be being thick (having never used checkinstall before) but do you pass it any special config?
I’m trying to install using the 0.9.56 source, I’ve patched, go through all the checkinstall stuff using pretty default config but when I “wine –version” I get 0.9.55 come up (the last manually installed version).
My bad, I had to remove (eg: sudo make uninstall) my previous build of Wine. –version now reckons I’m on 0.9.56 =)
What´s your hardware configuration?
Question: Why did you end up using the 9.50 version of wine?
I used 0.9.50 since the patch works with that version — I’m not sure if it works with later versions.
checkinstall makes a .deb file so apt-get remove works.
By the way, I can confirm this (3dmark patch included) works on the latest Wine version, 0.9.56.
Exactly the same instructions, just use “wine-0.9.56″ where you see “wine-0.9.50″.
i did everything u told here, but when i run the game, i get an error: floating point support problem ? something with the visual c++ libary?
roxxe: Use another crack. The firts sp crack I tried did the same. I found another and now it works fine!
Can apply this 3dmark path with wine 0.56??
masch: Yes. Thought that’s what I just said =)
Sorry…:D…
Another question, i have GTA San Andres with wine .56(not the compiled version) and with wine in some parts becomes slow, not in windows, so i compile this version and there was no difference, can i do something else to make it better?
I’m going to recompile 0.9.56 and attempt applying the patch to confirm.
No idea on GTA – although that’s a game I’d like to play… it’s rated Platinum on the Wine AppDB so there shouldn’t be any problems – what video card and driver are you using?
This guide has been updated to use Wine 0.9.56 and several changes have been made after usability testing.
i have GeForce 7950 GT in Fedora 8 with nvidia proprietary driver. is it right?
El Wine se esta volviendo cada ves mas groso! Increible lo que se puede hacer en unos pasos usando tan pocas librerias propietarias, estaria lindo que compremos el Dx9 y lo liberemos, no? Teniendo en cuenta que Micro$oft esta a full con el Dx10 ahora…
[...] Artículo completo en fsckin w/ linux. [...]
When i made checkinstall in Fedora 8 i got this error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jack/Download/wine/wine-0.9.56/include’
../tools/mkinstalldirs -m 755 /usr/include/wine/windows/ddk

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jack/Download/wine/wine-0.9.56/include’
make: *** [include/__install__] Error 2
**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.
Cleaning up…OK
Bye.
Do you know what is wrong?
thanks. It works really good. But how do i update the game to patch 1.5. I tried install to the game folder. But when run the game it was still ver 1.0 I am new to wine so this is my first time using it.
Many thanks for this tutorial.
/Nash
In fedora: First I would double check you’re running that as root, then try using “make install” instead, see if you get different errors.
nash: running updates shouldn’t require anything special to work properly, other than finding a new executable from GCW.
masch: Yep that’s correct.
Jack: seems to me like a bug in checkinstall, had the same. it says “mkdir bla” but it didn’t really create the dir.
I just ran the
mkdir /usr/include/wine
manually, checkinstalled again, got the next dir not created, mkdir’ed it manually, and so on, until it worked.
It seems the performance is quite lower than on windows.
I copied the installation folder from winxp to linux,
and already set everything to low quality and 800×600.
On winXP it was 90fps avg, on linux it’s like 40fps…
And the ranks&challenges in multiplayer were not transferred, how do i copy them?
From 90 to 40fps… that’s really bad performance.
Well honestly, what do you guys expect? CoD is built on DX, not openGL. It won’t nearly as well as it could on Windows.
if u do all this recompiling wine stuff, will it affect other games?
Wayne,
First thanks for the HOWTO. COD4 is the only reason I boot Winblows these days and would love it if I could get this too work.
So followed it and everything seemed to go like it was suppose but when I go to actually run the game I get the following errors…
err:advapi:service_control_dispatcher pipe connect failed
err:wgl:get_render_type_from_fbconfig Unknown render_type: 0
err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can’t find a suitable iPixelFormat
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Direct3D9 is not available without opengl
I’m running Ubuntu 7.10, nvidia 7600 GT with the latest proprietary drivers.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
I can confirm that this works (as is) with version 0.9.57 (just released) with no (noticeable) issues – just swap out wine-0.9.56 for wine-0.9.57 in the instructions.
However, I’m getting a sound issue with ALSA on .57, so I’ve had to go back to OSS and ESD for wine sound. If you can hold off for the next release, I would suggest doing so.
Hey, thx for all the help, but i came to the last step, which is
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Activision/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4\ -\ Modern\ Warfare/
wine iw3sp.exe
(running COD4), but then theres a window that tells me that i need to insert the dvd in (i bought the game, and it was inside my dvd drive
Do u know any solutions to this?
Sounds like you may have gotten the wrong file from gamecopyworld.
I compiled it with 0.9.56 version, now there is the 0.9.57 version, what should i do to compile the new version?
Salu2…

HI ne!
Maybe yo should install Xext library and try again.
Salu2…
Wayne, Great guide thanks for your work. I have wine, patched, compiled and running on Ubuntu Hardy 64 system. I install wine 9.57. COD4 works fine.
Ne: be sure to follow the sym link instructions here http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit Put the mkdir -p `pwd`/lib32 folder in the extracted wine 9.5x folder. Once I did this I compiled without the same erros you are posting above.
Gr8 how to there m8.
I guess I’m slowly edging towards loosing the Windows box for gaming, and for me thats a good thing.
Top marks on the single player campaign working, just a shame Punk Buster wont work for multi player, this basically means your playing against cheats (who have been found out and banned from every PB server) or Other Linux users, which would be fine if only there were another tab in the filter selection giving to option for Linux only
Like I said, getting closer
[...] a video I found. (Part of another guide) [...]
Wow, shit ton of effort to get something running on Linux. Odd, hmm, just installed it on my Windows box, and proceeded to rock cock.
So lame.
Finlandia: It’s not that much work, I’ve already done the hard part for everyone.
You got owned by a hacker using a program called “aimboting” because you can’t access Punk Buster servers. There’s no point in playing online without that unless you plan to hack the game yourself…
I haven’t been having a problem with aimbotters, wallhackers, or anything similiar. Calling them “hackers” is a compliment.
They’re script kiddies, get it right. There are HUNDREDS of non-punkbuster servers, if you think someone is hacking you can always goto another one.
Also, punkbuster is a false sense of security – if you think PB is the end of online cheating, you’re simply fooling yourself.
Again, this works just fine with the latest version. Download, patch and install as before, just with 0.9.58 instead of 0.9.56
I’ve was able to manage the installation of COD, however when running wine iw3sp.exe I got the following error:
Attempting 44 kHz 16 bit [Windows default] sound
ERROR: Couldn’t initialize digital driver: DirectSoundCreate() failed in get_system_speaker_configuration()
Error during initialization:
Miles sound system initialization failed.
Make sure you have your sound card’s latest drivers and DirectX installed.
I was search over internet but there was not sucessfull.
I have Creative Audidy4 pci sound card and all modules are installed (snd_emu10k1)
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

HI!
I’ve followed this guide, but when I run

and after some splash screens, I get this errors:

And I don’t know what to do now…
The new WINE 0.9.59 came out today. I downloaded the source and tried to apply the usual patch to the source code so that I could play CoD4, but now the patch fails. Hopefully a new patch will be out to fix this
anony mouse: CoD4 works with .59 without the patch. I’ve not tried it without the patch for a long time so I’m not sure if that’s a new thing or not.
Hi ..
excellent work, do you think in this same way one could run the COD4 modtools ?? you know to build your own levels !! that would be really cool
the modtools can be downloaded from
cod4hq.com after signing up.
cheers
Hi wayne. Great tutorial, I did everything right,
installation went fine, but when I try to run
the game, I get this error:
Error during initialization:
Video card doesn´t support enough textures

I have a nvidia 8800gts 512mb graphics card with

any help would be appreciated. thanks
Nice rip of my guide
Jack: I had the same problem as you in Ubuntu Hardy RC 1, pixelbrei way works. Hope they fix this annoying thing fast

Excellent tutorial, flawless even. If only my Ubuntu Hardy Heron was a 32 bit release.
I’ve been messing around trying to get the 3dmark patch to work for wine for a while. You’d think I’d have learnt my lesson after hitting a wall after the 64 bit Fedora 8.
So, I’ve been trying to use these instructions:
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
Just like jack talks about above. I’m still getting errors and I know I must be painfully close. (Namely things like “configure: WARNING: No OpenGL library found on this system. OpenGL and Direct3D won’t be supported.”)

I now have COD 4 up and running! Thank you ahaslam! I will sing your name in praise from this day forward!
No probs
today i ve installed cod 4.The game(the first video) ran very smoothly but after pressing the esc button(to escape the videos and go directly to the main menu)it encourage a problem and closes soon after.At present i m using windows xp.i ve seen my friend running cod 4 frm my dvd very smoothly in windows vista.It does not send any error message.So i think cod 4 is mainly built for windows vista,if i m not mistaken.If this is the case then how will i run it in windows xp?Or is there any patch file released to fix this problem?please do send me the answer of my question,i will be waiting…
We are running under Linux. I for one have no Windows & can’t advise. Sorry.
why cant i run call of duty 4 in xp?why does it send error report?
What errors do you get kafee? Does it say anything? Make sure your direct x is good to go. I have XP and Ubuntu on dual boot, I played CoD4 on XP for the past 7 months flawlessly.

This is what I get when i try to run the game.
Why?!?!?!?!
ok well i did everything like you said but the only thing is, is that when i go to load the game it tells me that
“Error during initialization:
Video card or driver doesn’t support UBYTE4N vertex data.”
i know that this graphics card is supported because i can run it great in windows XP & Vista im just not sure why it wont run in ubuntu. i like ubuntu alot but the only thing is i wish more games would be supported on any linux system.
when i get to the point of running sudo checkinstall this is what i get
make[1]: *** [/usr/share/man/de.UTF-8/man1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ron/wine/wine-0.9.56/loader’

HI!
I follow all the steps. But when I run COD4 I get this error:
=========================
Pixel shader version is 1.4
Vertex shader version is 1.1
Video card or driver doesn’t accelerate dynamic textures
Video card or driver doesn’t support separate alpha bend, glow will be disabled.
Error during initialization:
Video card or driver doesn’t support separate alpha bend, glow will be disabled.
==============
and it failed.
My system:
Ubuntu Hardy (version 32-bit)
Laptop Acer 4520
AMD 64 system
RAM: 2GBS
Chipset nFORCE 610i
GPU GeForce 7000M (on-board)
Anyone have a solution. Thanks for any help.
“Video card or driver doesn’t support separate alpha bend, glow will be disabled”.
That means that the 3dmark.diff has not been applied.
It is a little frustrating to have to redo everything after every kernel upgrade. Is there anyway around this issue?
It would be cool if somebody could create a .dev or something of this.
Hello!
I’ve got a problem with my video card. When I’m starting the game i get an error: “Error during initialization: Video card or driver doesn’t support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code path.”
I’ve got ASUS nVidia GeForce EN8800GTS and drivers automatically downloaded by Ubuntu. What’s wrong? Thanks for help!
i get same error with default wine install on ubuntu but with this help prowided here i got it working

I’ve was able to manage the installation of COD, however when running wine iw3sp.exe I got the following error:
Attempting 44 kHz 16 bit [Windows default] sound
ERROR: Couldn’t initialize digital driver: DirectSoundCreate() failed in get_system_speaker_configuration()
Error during initialization:

Make sure you have your sound card’s latest drivers and DirectX installed.
I was search over internet but there was not sucessfull.
I have Creative Audidy4 pci sound card and all modules are installed (snd_emu10k1)
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

does anyone have a idee what this means ?
I fixed my cod4 by downloading the ATI hyper memory on this site. Now my game runs fine no errors or blue screens. The ATI hyper memory was for my dell desktop xps 400.
Bottom Line:
Download something on this site that will make your driver BIGGER
because that sometimes the error
hope this helped

1.1.3+3dmarkPatch for ubuntu users.
With wine 1.0 “out the box” which could be the procedure?

ahasalam: “Please install the ‘flex’ package”
haha yeah, but I’ve already got flex installed… It’s ok, I got it in the end…
Now the trick is to install another game while getting COD4 to still work.
hi good job!
tried n tried with wine 1.1.2 : game didn’t start (error: dx9 code path..)
updated wine upon 1.1.8, implemented d3dx9_34.dll, configured wine, voila: game is playable with the known treatments.
note: i use playonlinux as gui-installer. in this case it’s tricky to divide the different wine-configurations AND: the games does not start with the created exe-link (from playonlinux) but with the desktop-link, the installer created…
nasty stuff….but it works
Impressive.
Flawless Victory.
Fatality!
What could this be?
Im try to install wine on ubuntu 8.10
I get it when I run sudo checkinstall:

A little german vocabulary:

just a side note..
if you already have a windows installation on the same computer and you have cod4 installed on that,
you could simple click on the exe file for that from linux and wine will ru it w/o installation
this is for those people who have a windows but dont want to continually reboot just to play a game
Great tutorial! The game is running fine for me and is 100% playable. Only minor issue is at loading a mission/map the sound cuts in and out. After that its fine though. Love to play good games with Linux and Open Source software. Too bad the game isn’t!

please and thank you
can you help me plzzz.
when i try to play the game call of duty 4 the write
(VIDEO CARD OR DRVER DOESEN’T SUPPORT ALPHA BLEND
Thank you for your helpful guide..Cod4 works very great in single player for me,do you know if to play in multiplayer is possible?
if i remove wine will i lose my previously installed games???
Vick,
I am wondering the same thing, This seems like an excellent patch. Would this patch make all games run better? (ie: WoW or BF2?)
Also, this has been a long time since this was published.. Can I do all of this with the newest wine version?

What should i do?
Thanks
Hey, I’m having difficulties getting this going..after running “./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc –enable-opengl –with-x”
I get:
configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built
without X support, which probably isn’t what you want. You will need to install
development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.
This is an error since –with-x was requested.
I’ve tried to find the Xfree86 package but it’s being a pain and I can’t find any coherent instructions on what to do..any advice?
Thanks a ton, would reallly like to get COD4 running in ubuntu, it’s my favorite game!
