similar to: Sid Meier´s Alpha Centauri

Where SMAC(X) stands for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Alien Crossfire) I've been running a copy of SMACX installed in Windows on my C:/ partition from linux (Ubuntu 10.10). After mounting the windows partition I only had to make the following changes to Alpha Centauri.ini to play the game: Code: eax=0 ds3d=0 ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 I haven't tested it much at all, but it seems

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. Latest problem; AC keeps crashing. All the time. If I save at a certain point and, say make a specific series of moves next turn and it crashes, re-loading and repeating will cause it to crash again. Below is the

Alpha Centauri is a very old game and hasn't received any love from the developers in a long time. The rights for the game are disputed as well, meaning future support is doubly unlikely. So I don't think the unofficial patch will age any more than an official patch would. I still haven't done any meaningful tests of the game running in wine (started one game, played a multiplayer

Looks like I can't edit posts. Also of possible interest, I was using v1.0 of the unofficial patch by scient, available here (http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=240). However, I don't suspect that made a difference. If I get round to more thorough testing I'll add a version and some more notes to the appDB. Comments welcome.

Hey, i finally figured out how to install Civ4 in wine, and it worked perfektly yesterday for like 10h when i tried to save my game it randomly crashed (i did save a couple times bevore) and told me it has a "bad memory access err". Today when I tried starting Civ4 it freezes upon opening the window with the following output: Code: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented

when i run: wine ./Civilization4.exe (in the correct dir) i get this output: ###################### fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 55 (SPI_SETMOUSEKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS) fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_CreateIconFromANI Loading all frames for .ani cursors not implemented. err:ole:CoGetClassObject class

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

Hello, I'm trying to get Civ IV running on my 64 bit version of Ubuntu 7.10 using the latest Wine version using these directions: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/06/10/special-civilization-iv-playable-on-linux/ (the winehq appDB points to this guide as well) I'm having problems getting CivIV to run though. Firstly, looking at the wine settings here:

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. If I run setup.exe, I am allowed to choose my install language whereupon I recieve this error: Error Code: -5005 : 0x8007000d Error Information: >Kernel\KernelMedia.cpp (95)

I have a problem running the game... I've tried installing it twice now and it still doesn't run. The Icon briefly opens on the Dock and the disappears in a few seconds. Also, when I try running the command "civilization4.exe" it doesn't run and no error appears on the screen. It simply reads: ' Command results The command "/Users/adrianfurlan/Library/Application

I'm running the latest version of Wine (currently 1.1.28 ) on Xubuntu 9.04 and I kept getting the error "The program Pirates!.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It was occurring regularly a short time after I started playing. Some helpful folks posted suggestions to help get it working reliably, but nothing made a

Hello, We had a strange thing happen today - we shut down our system (virtual machines) so that some work could be done in the server closet and everything was shut down gracefully but when everything was started back up I can no longer access my file server from windows. I get the following message in windows: \\fs1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network

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

Hi, I just tried to install Civ4 1.74 according to the notes on its appdb page (using the new 1.1.10 Debian 5.0 packages), but whenever I try to run the game, I get this: matt at hayashi:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4$ wine Civilization4.exe fixme:service:QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x141140 4 0x141828 0 0x32ef30 - semi-stub

I am trying to get alpha centrauri to work under wine. I know it exists on linux version also, but I already have bought the windows version some time ago (stupid me) so I would like to at least TRY to get it working.. so, my problem is, that I can start it, but I am missing some colors, I think, and graphics perhaps.. the first menu that comes, where you select the game type etc, looks OK

If you have a fake windows installation try deleting all the files in c:\windows\fonts.

what is necessary to get it to work?

Hi, recently I did update my system to xorg 1.6.3 mesa 7.5 and intel driver 2.8.0 and glew , prior to this update I had this game working ... now it gives me this error : > There may be more fonts available - try increasing the value of MAX_FONTS > There may be more fonts available - try increasing the value of MAX_FONTS > fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 55

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. In fact, I submitted test results to the AppDB about it here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12753&iTestingId=34283 However, at the moment, Civ4 will crash after only minutes of play, with an out of
