Hey everyone.

So, the problem is that in order to launch Pro Rally 2001, you first need to launch the RallySetup.exe, so that the game would create a config file called ed3.ini. But I use Linux and am trying to run this game with Wine. And Wine seemingly can run the main executable, but not RallySetup.exe.

So, what I need is for someone who uses Windows to just install that game and then sned me that file ed3.ini. I don't think I can tell you where to download the game, but it's basically abandonware, so many websites have it.

So anyway, if you helped me, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Unfortunately, the game still doesn't work at the moment. I suppose I'll have to just run a virtual machine for it. But I wouldn't know if I didn't try.

ed3.ini contains the following (CRLF at the end of lines. No end of line at the end of the file)

; name of the card
card=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

; name of driver
driver=DirectX 7.0

; mode of the game (windowed or fullscreen)
mode=fullscreen

Ah shit, it's still not working. It doesn't give the error anymore, but now it just crashes. Well, it was worth a shot anyway, thanks again.
