Hi

I run wine 1.2 and I'm having trouble with this game, as it all loads great, but when im in region view, if I click on a spot to start a new city, the game crashes, and my linux screen gets all messy and small

Has somebody had this error before?

I assume you mean 1.3.31.

Have you tried the tweaks mentioned in the AppDB? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=7500

I've always found it necessary to bind Sim City to one core when playing, or it will crash randomly. It's not a Wine issue; it's an old game that wasn't meant for multi-core systems, and it crashes on Windows, too, unless you set the affinity. I also recommend running it in an emulated virtual desktop, as it does tend to mess up the whole desktop when it crashes.

how do you bind it to one core plz?

I use taskset; you put it before the command to run your app, e.g.,

Code: Select all

taskset -c 0 wine '/path/to/program.exe'

Substitute the actual path to the exe in the command line. The 0 binds it to the first core; you can specify any core.
