I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

I've downloaded wine and wine Q4 and I've made sure that i have all the components for wine. I'm trying to play battlefront 2 (it's an exe file which I downloaded online). I have the original cd but I can't play in on my laptop as my disk drive is broken.

When I try to open the file with wine it acts as if it's about to open but then closes down and changes my screen resolution. I know the file works because I've used it before on windows 7.

The file also has .dll and .bink.32 which I think it needs to run.

How can I get it working?

According to Star Wars - Battlefront II WineHQ page only the "Steam 1.1" version really works (Platinum).

Keep this in mind for future reference: Anything below "Gold" is probably a waste of time. Software may install but then don't run or run partially and may have several other issues and limitations.

In conclusion, an Wine emulated Star Wars - Battleship II is doable if, and only if, it's running through Steam (for Windows). Any other installer gives mixed results and should be expected not to work.

Go to folder containing the game. There is a folder GameData. And inside is BattlefrontII.exe. Open it.
