Problem with "Star Wars Empire at War", on Linux Mint 18.1

[mdw2]

Hello,

I am having problems with the Demo for "Star Wars Empire at War" on Linux Mint 18.1 (64bit).
I got it here:
https://star-wars-empire-at-war-forces- ... tonic.com/

I followed https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
and tried each of stable, development and staging.

When I start "EAWXLauncher.exe", then the start screen with a menu selection appears. Sound works
as well.
I can click through the menu items without problems.

But when I select "Start Game", then I get the backtrace below.
That was the same for stable, development and staging.

Any help is appreciated!
Just let me know what I should try next.

Note: I initially tried with the wine version coming with Linux Mint 18.1, but that one had different
problems (no mouse clicks in start menu, when circumventing the starter then the graphics looked pretty broken).
So I deinstalled that version again, cleaned .wine and started from scratch with the downloads from winehq.

I saw https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... n&iId=3164
so I thought it should actually work.

[Bob Wya]

I tried out the demo of Star Wars: Empire at War with Wine Staging 2.10.
I used a Wine Virtual Desktop (setup with the winecfg utility - Graphics tab) - otherwise I have Nvidia "randr issues" with my dual-monitor setup!

I'd recommend using a 32-bit WINEPREFIX, set to Windows XP compatiblity (this is an old Windows XP era game - after all!!)
See WineHQ FAQ: 6.5.3 How do I create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system?

Setup WINEPREFIX

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="~/star_wars_empire_at_war_demo_32" # just an example location for you WINEPREFIX - change as required!
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot -u ; winetricks sandbox ; winetricks -q winxp ; winetricks -q d3dx9 # Override the DirectX 9.0c extension libraries - as the game makes DirectX API calls to functions not supported by the Wine native versions...

Game Installation

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="~/star_wars_empire_at_war_demo_32"
cd "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c"
cp ~/Downloads/empireatwardemo.exe .
wine start empireatwardemo.exe

Launching Game

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="~/star_wars_empire_at_war_demo_32"
wine start 'C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Demo\LaunchEAW.exe'

That works fine for me here! The Star Wars Empire at War demo launches and appears to work fine (with a short test of game play).

Thanks a lot!
It worked perfectly thanks to your guide.
