When you get the confirmation screen that it has installed, do not launch it yet.Ĥ) Download the official Lucasarts patch and install it: cdĮnv WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.battlefront1 wine "Z:/home/mike/Battlefront1_2_Eng.exe" When you swap disks, wait for the next disk to mount before you click continue. (You can of course export the WINEPREFIX environmental variable to your environment, but for clarity I will specify it each time here with env.)ģ) Enter the CD key and let the installer begin. This will make the wine configuration window come up, and before you dismiss it, check the drive letter that the battlefront CD has been symlinked to (usually D:).Ģ) Start the install (assuming the wine drive is D:): env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.battlefront1 wine "D:/GameData/setup.exe" If you don't fancy all the barrage of terminal commands below, you can use playonlinux to install, but see my important note further below about securom errors.ġ) Locate your legal copy of the game and its 3 cds (you will need the CD key as well) and place the first disk in the drive and make sure it mounts correctly.Ģ) Create your new WINEPREFIX with: WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.battlefront1 winecfg Note: Playonlinux can be used to install it as well, but here's how I did it manually. I usually recommend using a fresh WINEPREFIX for every new application installed with wine, as that very often eliminates problems that using the default ~/.wine folder with everything can cause.
Nevertheless, so we can get an answer for this question, here's how I installed it on Ubuntu 12.04, which was largely a similar process to that very briefly mentioned on the information page at WineHQ. It may well be available on Steam in the near future, but that is just surmise. Star Wars Battlefront 1 can sometimes work on wine, but often there are problems or glitches with the graphics, so it depends on your particular setup and version of wine as to if or how well it will run.
