Civ4 on MacBookPro OSX Lion 10.7.3

Post by dirtybob »

Hey guys,

first I have to say, this is the first time I am using Wine (1.4.1). I have a Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 and a MacBookPro (Graphic:NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, CPU:2,53Ghz Intel Core2Duo, RAM:4GB 1067Mhz DDR3) and want to play Civilization 4. I installed Wine with no problems and the setup from Civ4 DVD was fine afterwards.

I didn't update Civ4 because I got the complete edition (you cannot update with the BTS Patch, it says sth. like no BTS found).

Then I used winetricks to grab the direct3dx9 and msxml3 dlls into system32 folder.

Every time I try to start Civ4 it doesn't even launch, there comes directly that dialogue:

I also added the app in wine as you can see here:

and some libraries (I read somewhere that this is necessary, but it had no effect) as seen here:

I would love to run this game via wine, but I just don't know how :/
Hoping for your help!

Best regards,
Ben

Might be easier to just buy the native Mac version of the game instead.
