Tropico 3 on Mac OS X

Post by uberduck13 »

Hi guys,
I bought Tropico 3 and am trying to run this.
Everytime i run it, it shows a loading screen for about 5 seconds and then closes and says either A serious error has occurred or "internal errors, invalid parameters"

Does anyone know how to fix this and get this running.
It would be really appreciated.

Can you try running this from a terminal session?

BTW, where did you get your Wine from?

eh... people give it gold and platinum, but I haven't been able to do more than just get it hung at the loading screen forever trying something thats failing and timing out over and over... I tried several Wine versions, so not sure whats going on.

Is this program available as a demo somewhere?

Doh123: Can you run the 'normal' tests to see why this is hanging on
MacOSX? I don't think this is Gold/Plat on MacOSX, but runs just fine
on Linux due to the known issues with Apple/XQuartz's missing X11
functionality.

yeah, I just downloaded the demo off their website
http://www.tropico3.com/?p=downloads
I don't recall the error messages... I'll have to reinstall it later and see, I only tested it because the OP was trying to get it to work. The install runs great. I don't think there is anything missing in Xquartz that should prevent the game from running in a virtual desktop.

I was getting the same problem so I un-installed it and than re installed it but still it appears. I am trying to run it always from my terminal session but can't resolve my problem.

Can you provide what happens in the terminal session?

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

has instructions on how to generate a log file. Post it to a site like
pastebin.com and post the URL here so we can go out and look at it.

This saves space and some folks still pay high prices to receive the
Internet. Let's be considerate to them.

For mac emulation in Wine, I suggest switching to CXZ. It's based on the Crossover Engine used by codeweavers and generally has better results on the mac platform. I personally ported Tropico 3 to mac a few months ago and placed it on Demonoid (so you might wanna look there) and if you wanna check out other ports for games - I'd look into portingteam.com

Good luck!

I don't think illegally hacked software (like CXZ) is a good topic for this forum... if you want Crossover, please pay for it....

is CXZ an illegal hack? yes because its based off something I personally made in testing out some stuff and never really intended it to be used to get free Crossover... so I stopped, but others took it up and have modified it highly and done all kindsa stuff with it.
