    You dont need to copy files, just install the directx version which is included in the game dvd. In your case its directx 9 i think. Just run the setup and it will play fine

    so, whats the date of your purchase? :p



    hmm... try this...

    "Locate the file: "mssmp3.asi"

    Rename it: "mssmp3.bak""

    if not solved, try this ==> How to Fix:: Call of Duty World at War - "Fasfile for zone... (code 107)" error | CompuParadise

    if reinstalling the game doesnt fix the problem it may be the corrupt setup files. try installing from other source.

    360 method: play game for 1 min... continuously move... and
    Turn with your mouse 360° round and round as more possible few times in 1 min.

    then see min max avg

    Linux may run a lot of background services, some of which aren't always necessary. This can cause unnecessary drain on a laptop battery as well as higher cpu usage and hence more temperature. Just Kill the unnecessary services running in background and it'll low the temperature, there may be some softwares available for the same, for ex there's a tool called 'powertop' used for reducing the battery drain and for stopping unwanted services, but its command line based...
