I have a copy of City Life Deluxe Edition that I would Like to play but I have been windows free for over a year now and I understand the rating is garbage for this game. Are the game reports pretty up to date? I am trying to figure out why the installer is hanging. I am also getting ready to install it from a friends computer and copying the installed folder over to my linux box to see if that works. Has anyone else tried this yet? Thanks for any help and info you can provide.

If you're not using the latest development release of Wine, upgrade. If it still doesn't work, post terminal output, including the command you use to run it. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal
Sorry I meant City Life World Edition. I am running an Athlon X2 4800+ Dual core. 3 gigs of ram and a Nvidia Geforce 6800 XT PCIE and my OS is Ubuntu Ultimate 2.8 with wine 1.2.1. I have also tried installing on Gentoo and Arch with the same specs and get the same results. So I was wondering if there has been any new development or if anyone has tried coping game folder from windows program files folder.
Well I Did what I said by copying the game folder to my wine folder and when I run from terminal it gives me the following output: fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx stub: 0x110fa8 0 fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111da8, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x1111e0, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x1111e0, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111da8, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:rpc:handle_bind_error unexpected status value 1765 When I run it from the gui it gives me a missing dll error si assume I need to install DX.
Ok....I figured out the main issue I was having. I was trying to play the game with the original exe. So as soon as I replaced that it worked fine in 1600x1200 resolution. The only thing I did see was when I quit the game and it went back to the desktop it gave an error which is below: Wine Program Crash Internal Errors - invalid parameters received I then reran the exe and it still work pretty good. My next question is can I update the game playability status or is that up to a game developer or admin.
