Hello, I'm trying to get Caesar 3 running on my linux machine, but it always
hangs while loading. I installed Caesar 3 on my windows machine and them copied
the files to the linux box, and updated the registry so it points to the right
drives, etc. Wine works fine on other apps. When I try to run "wine
c3.exe:" it starts up fine, and begins to load. It goes through several
load screens until the "loading sounds" it seems to load the sounds,
(it will prompt for the CD if it's not in), but then hangs. The only thing
visible is the picture of a roman soldier pointing to the right and a blank
white rectangle in the center of the screen. Two messages are printed on the
terminal:
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel
(0x403d37ac)->(0000138,00000013)
fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403d5238,00000138,2):stub
I compiled wine-20010326 from source with no errors. I do not have a windows
installation or windows partition, but just use /ust/local/lib/win ( to which i
have full privilages) as my C drive. My ~/.wine/config is exactly the same as
wineinstall generated, except /cdrom is changed to /mnt/cdrom to work. I'm
running Redhat 7.0. If you need more information just ask.
Thanks for the help,
James R

I have the exact same problem as you. I'm sorry that I don't have a solution for it. I would just like to ask a question. When C3 stops at the soldier picture, what do you do? I mean how do you get out of it? The only solution I've come up with is to press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

I run it in with desktop=800x600 and use ctr-c to kill it. Has anybody had this error and fixed it? ------------------------------------------------------------ Many Bothans died to bring you this email...from http://www.echostation.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - advertisement - - - - - - Limited Time Offer: FREE Products!

>Has anybody had this error and fixed it?I don't really know whether I've fixed it or not, but now it's working in my computer. What I did was very simple. I put the C3 CD-ROM in the cd-rom-drive and the pressed wine c3.exe and it ran beautyfully. (Just insert the CD-ROM BEFORE you start C3). If that doesn't work then try it again in another Window Manager. Try both GNOME and KDE. (The Ctrl-C thing doesn't work for me) Mikkel _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
