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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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