I've been successfully playing Civ IV in wine for some time, but recently I've been trying unsuccessfully to upgrade to the Warlords expansion. I tried various suggestions that I found through google, including those on wine's appdb. Basically, I've tried every combination of: setting Direct3d 9 to be native installing msxml3 via winetricks and making it native disabling

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone has seen this one before. I am trying to get Civ4 working in Wine 1.2 on my Mac and I get so far as the stage where it initializes Python and it fails. I've attached the log at the end of this transmission. It's relatively short as these things go. I can see at least one error: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback but I have no clue as to

Hi, After a devastating viral attack on in XP, I've moved to Ununtu- I love it. I also love Civilization 4, and I'm having a hard time getting it to run. 1. I can't get the installers to run.

Hi, I'm running into errors trying to launch Civilization IV (both basic and BtS). I followed the instructions from the thread below: http://osdir.com/ml/wine-users/2009-08/msg00427.html ...and changed OffscreenRenderingMode to "backbuffer". This solves the problem described there but runs into another. Setting it to "pbuffer" gives the same result: -------8<--------

I'm using wine 1.2-rc5 on Xubuntu 10.04. I've been trying to get Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire working for a few days now and running into nothing but annoyance so far.

I have Civ4 BTS 3.17 installed and running on Ubuntu 8.10 using Wine 1.1.13. The game seems to be OK but I have been playing the Fall from Heaven 2 mod recently and the data for the Great Library used within the game is corrupted (sages being given ridiculously large espionage bonuses). The xml files on disk are fine and there is no problem when running the same mod on Windows. I am using the

Hello everyone, Since a few weeks, Sid Meier's Civilization 4, Beyond the Sword 3.17 has become unstable on my system. I had no problems running it before.

So I did everything on this page: http://itezer.com/blog/ubuntu-linux/140-Civilization-IV-on-Linux-with-Wine-1-1-16.html Additionally, the Wine website (

It does actually run with the old .wine. An error box comes up saying explorer crashed, then I have to kill it with
