Trouble getting game to run

Post by dracothered »

Hi all, I'm new to using Wine and I want to play one of the games I play on Windows. It is a game from this website http://www.agegames.com/mw/ . The game uses a program called Diploware which lets you plan your moves and send them in for the next turn. Nothing fancy here just some simple graphics.

I am trying to do it on one of those Asus EeePC that runs Xandros linux.

i tried from the given downloadlink "medieval.exe"; is that the app you try to run? It looks like it needs some stuff from windows media player.

Try this:

'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks wmp10'

Then at least the app starts for me, though it still pops up some error message boxes every now and then about an access violation, but i could just click them away. Dunno if that's enough to make the app usable. Maybe you could write back if it's enough to get it going

Yes that is the app I want to install and run. I will try what you said when I get off work.
