Civilization III doesn't work

[Akronix]

Hello!

I've installed civilization III (1.16f is the version which appears in my main menu under windows 7) in my desktop computer with wine but when I run the game, it crashes and show me the follow:

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x7cb61000 in 32-bit code (0xf757cff7).

You can see the complete log here.
I'm using wine version: 1.5.18 under Fuduntu 2013.1 x86_64
This my hardware: intel i3 3225 3.3 GHz with intel HD Graphics 4000, ASROCK B75 Pro3, 8 GB RAM.

I haven't got installed directX 9.0 in wine but I don't know if that's the problem.

Code: Select all

Wine build: wine-1.5.18
Platform: i386 (WOW64)

Install it to a 32 bit wineprefix. Create one with

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg

(use the actual path), then install to that.

You have to change "/path/to/wineprefix" to the actual path on your filesystem (as suggested by dimesio). I have many wineprefixes on multiple partitions for example:

env WINEPREFIX="/media/Gry/.wine-FarCry3/"
env WINEPREFIX="/media/Gry/.wine-Hydorah/"
env WINEPREFIX="/media/Dane/.wine-Limbo/"
env WINEPREFIX="/media/Ubuntu/.wine-TheWitcher2/"

You see four wineprefixes on three different partitions. Now all you have to do is run the command with actual path. Note the thing below is only example which is valid for my case you have to change the path to your filesystem.

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/media/Gry/.wine-FarCry3/" winecfg

[Akronix]

Ok, let's to see if I'm doing fine:
first I created a new wineprefix with:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/akronix/Wine/.wine-Civilization winecfg

later, I used export command and I installed civilization from the cd disk:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="/home/Wine/-.wine-Civilization"
wine /media/CIV3/Setup.exe

after It's installed, I execute it from the shell with:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Wine/.wine-Civilization" wine start /Unix "/home/akronix/Wine/.wine-Civilization/drive_c/Program Files/Infogrames/Civilization III/Civilization3.exe"

And, finally it shows me a read error and request the civilization disk (obv, I've the disk in the reader).
This the shell answer:

Code: Select all

$ fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 0.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg2: Permission denied
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 1.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg0: Permission denied
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 2.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg1: Permission denied

Solutions? I feel I'm so close...

[Akronix]

The read error refers to the situation that cd can't be accessed. To get that wine recognize the CD drive or a image cd (iso) should be enough.

[Akronix]

Ok, I've already see how to add a driver for wine and I've added the cd-rom of the game.
Now, It doesn't show me a read error, but there is something bad yet.
In first, it tells me:

fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 0.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg2: Permission denied
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 1.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg0: Permission denied
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 2.
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg1: Permission denied

I added write and read permission for sg0,sg1 & sg0 files and again I enter this:

Code: Select all

$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Wine/.wine-Civilization" wine start /Unix "/media/CIV3/Civilization3.exe"

and it returns this:

Error starting program

$ fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 0.
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 1.
fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 2.

I've copied binkw32.dll to the .wineCivilization system folder and the game has tried to run but it crashes with this:

$ fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 0.

I searched for AppDB entry for that game and I've found out that the version 1.16f has a Garbage rating (known not to work). Looking at all the entries in AppDB it seems that you are trying to run old version of that game. Maybe you should look for a patch (or I will look for it).

I have spanish version of the game which doesn't have patch for all I know. Anyway I've downloaded and installed the patch 1.29f and when I've tried to run the game it tells me that there isn't cd. I've put a no-cd patch and now the game change the screen resolution, open a black screen and sometimes keep blank forever or sometimes it crashes with a program error.
This is shell log:

Reinstall your graphics drivers, and make sure you have the necessary 32 bit parts. If you're not sure which packages to install, ask on your distro's support forum; package-naming conventions vary by distro.

It wasn't necessary reinstall drivers, It was enough with the follow command:

Code: Select all

beesu yum install mesa-dri-drivers-8.0.4-1.fu2012.i686 mesa-libGL-8.0.4-1.fu2012.i686 mesa-libGLU-8.0.4-1.fu2012.i686

After, the game boots up but I haven't be able to play, the game crashes when I try to start a new game.
Anyway, I think I won't trying to play this game under linux, It's looking too complex and I don't have much time to play.

Thank you for your help!! I hope to have more luck with civilization IV

[[I WANT TO RESURRECT THREAD!!]]

Hi, I'm having problems running Civ III, I have the correct versions of conquests and play the world and 'vanilla' civ 3 that are supposed to work, but i get an unhandled excepption.

Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x0dd3efc8 in 32-bit code (0x01540d12).

I thought I created a 32-bit prefix for it but I'm not sure why it didn't work, everyone else has it working fine, one thing I notice at the end (for both my prefixs is that it says WOW64 at the bottom, idk if that has anything to do with it).

I'd really like to play this game, I think it is one of the all time greats and the new ones suck.

If it says WOW64, you don't have a 32 bit wineprefix.

ok I finally got it into win32, yet it stiiilllll doesn't work, you can start it, play it for 5 minutes then you get "unhandled exception", I've tried pretty much every version, from cd versions to steam versions, same error, everytime, 32bit or 64bit emulation, I get to play for some random time of around 5 minutes then its "unhandled exception".

Hey guys,I'm new here
I've manged to install it and run it using PlayOnLinux and wine 1.7
Intro works fine and then it changes resolution and it looks like this



I've tried adding "KeepRes=1" in the .ini file and it didn't help
i could use some help with it
