I'm new to Wine and trying to get some things running. I've tried a couple of different games attempting to follow the directions in the database. Both say that after installing the game, I need to patch it. Installation works great. I can't patch anything. The patch installers always say that the particular game is not installed. When I try to run the patch installers at the command line, I get this error for both of them: fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. I've searched around for what this is, but Google is failing me. I was using Wine 1.2.2 I updated to 1.3.15 to see if that worked any better. However, I got the same error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

However, I got the same error.You should be trying to use 1.3.25, not 1.3.15, there are many fixes for problems in the ten releases between them. Can you provide the following: The game or games you are trying to install/patch. Linux distribution and version. The command line you used to run the patcher. Thank you. James
I was trying to install Civ4 complete. I updated to Wine 1.3.25 and I got the game running. Trying to install a downloaded patch still showed the same error though. The command I ran was "wine filename.exe" Since the game was running, I was able to use the in-game patcher and that worked perfectly. So all is good. I assume that I'm doing something wrong generally though with installing patches? If so, can you point it out for next time? Thanks again.
