--- Comment #10 from mardini amardini14@yahoo.com 2010-11-02 22:52:52 CDT --- I found a workaround (this also works for another problematic Unreal Engine game.......... Borderlands): use a crack from gamecopyworld.com I find the 1.2 european crack works well, but then it's the only crack I've tried.
Somewhat off topic, but I think something is just generally wrong with Epic and their Unreal Engines. This game is using the Unreal Engine 2, Borderlands is using Unreal Engine 3, and yet both exhibit similar issues. I wonder if with further testing, we might if more Unreal Engine based games delivered on Steam have issues on wine. With that said though, I realize it's more likely that this particular bug with launching the game through Steam is related to the form of copy protection used.
