[solved] Trying to start myth 2 w. wine - missing GLU32.dll

[Propagandhi]

Greetings, this is maybe the wrong place to ask but I'm totally out of ideas.

I get the following error trying to run myth 2 via wine:

err:module:import_dll Library GLU32.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\dan\\games\\myth2\\Myth II.exe") not found

Google is proving useless. The dll is located in /usr/lib64/wine/ and is being copied into /root/.wine/drive_C/windows/system32/glu32.dll

Anyone using the latest version of wine and myth successfully? I just upgraded to wine 1.3.17 but discovered the probelm 1.2.1.

What version of Myth2 are you trying?

[Propagandhi]

Hmm, not sure. definitely trying 1.7.2 public beta 2, but the other .exes are just called myth II and myth II old, looks like maybe version 1.7.1?

[Propagandhi]

So myth 2 old works, but it asks for a cd (which I no longer have, I left it at my parents years ago ). I'll poke around with different versions.

[Propagandhi]

Confirmed that it seems to stop working with the 1.7 versions, sticking with 1.6 for now.

Once I get into game it runs at like 1 fps. Not sure what hosed it. I've ran myth on this machine before.

Edit: restart fixed it, maybe it was using D3D or something.

So just to summarize: 1.7 versions don't work via wine for me. Can't find GLU32.dll.

[Propagandhi]

So I ended up just downloading glu32.dll and sticking it into the myth2 folder. Things seem to be working.
