Red Alert 3 + wine = magic

Update:  Since the latest wine version 1.1.9 (and newer of course), it’s no longer needed to use the hacks repository. The main wine repo now has the animated cursor patch included. Mind you, only the first frame of a animated cursor is displayed.

I’m glad to inform you all I managed to get red alert 3 started using the wine version hosted at http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git. You can easily use this repository using my adjusted wine ebuild for the wine git version.

The ebuild is packaged here: wine.tar.bz2

    Hi, I was wondering if you were also having problems with the mouse cursor not being visible with the git version? I tried every version from 1.1.2 till 1.1.7 with and without patches, and although all of them worked fine, I was unable to get it to display a mouse cursor.

    You should try the repository at http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git. These contain the needed patches for animated cursors, which is exactly what you need to get a cursor to show up. Good luck.
