Hi Dimesio
I did as you suggested and started with a clean wineprefix, but no improvements so far. This is really strange, because on the previous computer, with the same OS, the game was worth its Platinum label from the AppDB.
It ran fine on AMD Opteron 185 @ 2.6Ghz with 4GB and a Geforce 8600GT 512MB.
Now it's Intel G1610 2.6Ghz with 16GB and a R9 280X 3GB (cpu will be replaced very soon by an i7 as it came from my altcoin mining rig)
So here's all the command and outputs I get:
hoshimaru@linux-ygih:~> WINEPREFIX=~/.citiesxl winecfg
Code: Select all
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/hoshimaru/.citiesxl'

And I installed Gecko as suggested:

fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet
fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet
I then set winver to Windows 7 and the virtual desktop to 1280x1024 and exit winecfg
Next, I install the game:
Code: Select all

And don't select any of the additional software to be installed.
Time to copy the nodvd patch and start the game for the first time:
Code: Select all
hoshimaru@linux-ygih:~> cp /mnt/nodvd/*.exe ~/.citiesxl/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Focus\ Home\ Interactive/Cities\ XL\ Platinum/ -v
‘/mnt/nodvd/CitiesXL_2011.exe’ -> ‘/home/hoshimaru/.citiesxl/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Focus Home Interactive/Cities XL Platinum/CitiesXL_2011.exe’
‘/mnt/nodvd/CitiesXL_2012.exe’ -> ‘/home/hoshimaru/.citiesxl/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Focus Home Interactive/Cities XL Platinum/CitiesXL_2012.exe’
‘/mnt/nodvd/CitiesXL_Platinum.exe’ -> ‘/home/hoshimaru/.citiesxl/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Focus Home Interactive/Cities XL Platinum/CitiesXL_Platinum.exe’
hoshimaru@linux-ygih:~> cd .citiesxl/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Focus\ Home\ Interactive/Cities\ XL\ Platinum/
hoshimaru@linux-ygih:~/.citiesxl/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Focus Home Interactive/Cities XL Platinum> WINEPREFIX=~/.citiesxl wine CitiesXL_Platinum.exe

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32d558,0x00000000), stub!
That didn't do much except showing the splash screen and 100% CPU load for one core:
The line
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.6195) is because I did not install vcredist_x86.exe. I disappears after that's done:

Still no luck. Maybe add DirectX from the DVD. In the previous attempts, the winetricks installation of directx9 didn't solve anything.

Than worked. Now I try to launch the game again:
Code: Select all

Same problem persists.
When I try to strart it from my ~/ ?

fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
Now that's different. I get an error message:
On Windows, you get this when .Net is not installed.
This also generates a backtrace, which I didn't get by starting the games from inside its installation directory:
http://pastebin.com/NwKNEbDP
But since this prefix is for x86_64, it won't get installed anyway, as it's not supported for 64-bits.
When I repeat the whole operation again, in a 32-bits wineprefix, it's the exact same issues one after the other
, except for dotnet20.exe, which is reported to be part of wine already and won't install.
Honestly, I'm confused to what's causing a game that worked on the previous computer to be such a a$$ to install on a new one. I didn't do anything different the last time to install it. Or am I overseeing something?
