Description
I cannot for the life of me get Call of Duty: Black Ops to launch. I have tried most every workaround I can find online, using winetricks to install d3dx9, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, disable GLSL, create two DLL overrides for both dsound & d3dx9_43 (in an effort to use the wine-builtin one I installed as opposed to the Black Ops native versions). I even went so far as to try the compatdata from Call of Duty: World At War (10090), because it works fine. Nothing, just briefly "Running", and a silent death, maybe sometimes syncing.
Has there been any meaningful progress by anybody else getting the game to launch, or any further ideas? I have all my logs on Google Docs (for "Find..." searchability), and an example on Pastebin as well, if you think that'll help.
