Age of Empires II

Post by PaoloEmilio »

I have been trying to install Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (I have the CD) on my Wine software, to no avail. Setup works well and installs the game, but when I try to run it, the game closes, leaving this code.

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception: privileged instruction in 32-bit code (0x0040e413).

    Platform: i386 (WOW64)
    Host system: Linux
    Host version: 3.13.0-83-lowlatency
Is there any hope to run the game? Do I need to provide additional information? Thanks for any help.

You need to start by upgrading to a supported release of Wine. It is OK to run the development release (in fact I generally track the Wine Git tree - using a live build of Wine Staging). You should upgrade to a wine version >=1.8.

Note: Wine Staging is now officially supported. This is a suite of patches, applied on top of 'vanilla Wine' that aims to increase functionality and/ or Windows compatibility further.

You may be being hit by (one of the notorious) CD drm protection schemes...!! See Bug 31279: Age of Empires II SafeDisc v1.x driver crashes in IDT check (INT1/3 hooks) ... Although that is specified as a Mac specific bug...

Please run this ProtectionID tool to determine the exact SafeDisc version (if present) on your CD and paste the output of the tool. Please run this tool in a 32-bit Wineprefix.

A stack trace is great!! But ideally I'd also need a dump of the console output (in any) up to that point and the original launch instruction to start the game...

Ta,

If you are using the original AOE 2 CD, you need to change the Windows version to 2000 since the Safedisc driver shipped with the game doesn't support more recent Windows versions (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21147 or https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34363 for AOE2). You will need to reinstall the software into a 32 bit prefix (WINEARCH=win32) to select Windows 2000 as Windows versions.
