Warning

The game does not run correctly on SMP PCs (more than one CPU core or HyperThreading enabled); HyperThreading can be disabled in the BIOS setup.

Another way to workaround this is to use a tool named schedtool to set the affinity of the wine process to one CPU only.

schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine RA95.exe




HOWTO

If setup complains about a wrong Windows version, start winecfg and set the global version to Windows 98, then change it back after the install.

Set the Windows version for 'ra95.exe' (can be done with winecfg) to win98 or update to the latest version.

You need to have the latest version of Red Alert in order to play network games. Use the UDP network patch to play LAN games. ­




Troubleshooting

If the i­nstaller c­an't find your installation files check that you have the CD-ROM drive set up correctly under winecfg and add this symlink:

­ln -s /dev/<cdrom_device> ~/.wine/dosdevices/<drive_letter>\:\:
­

Or if you use the .ISO download from EA:

ln -s /path/to/redalert_cd1.iso ~/.wine/dosdevices/<drive_letter>\:\:­

­

where <drive_letter> is the letter of the CD drive as it appears in winecfg
