Mac: PR with Wine ".NET startup error"

Post by Japub »

Hi! I played PR a lot back in the day and have felt the urge to start playing again. PR works fine when running with Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro but the built-in mic malfunctions and makes me sound like a robot. Playing without a mic is pretty boring. That's why I'm trying to get PR work through Wine on the Mac OS instead of through Windows.

With Wine I've successfully installed BF2, patch 1.41 and 1.5 and also PR 1.0 BETA. However, when I start it up I receive the following message:

To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:
v4.0.30319


I found the file on the internet but it said I already had that version, or a newer one so couldn't install it. When looking in the Wine File Manager I even saw the particular version of .NET already there.

Any ideas? Is it a dead end? Could there possibly be a problem with the 1.0 BETA in particular?

PR:BF2 only supports Windows. Sorry.

Ok, thanks! I found a driver update for the built-in mic that could make it work also in Windows. I'll have to try that then.
