I don't understand what your problem is. What is arch?

Arch: I mean arch linux

Hopefully, some Linux users can assist you here. I'll ping @Pangaea to see if he is around soon. I know he uses Linux, but I've never heard of Arch.

I recommend describing your issue more specifically. Is it a graphical or text issue?

Ha...You're much more likely to get attention and the appropriate assistance here.

Morę description of the problem: after updating the wines in all games (civ4) started to appear errors, e.g. yellow fields, as in the attached picture. in addition, they started to destroy fonts in mods. As I checked, the errors of the yellow leek appear, for example, in the menu of files to be loaded or on the ok and cancel buttons.

Sheer coincidence I dropped by just now. However, I don't see any images, they don't show up for me, and when I open them in a new tab, I get a message about not having permission to do that, presumably view it. So it's hard to know what is going on. I don't use Arch, though, and I've heard it's more difficult, so may not be able to help anyhow

Edit: After seeing the above post, if you recently updated Wine, you can try to go back to another Wine version for Civ4 and see if it works like before then. Assuming Civ4 worked properly before the recent Wine update?

Probably good idea to know the version of Civ IV that you have. (.i.e. where'dya get it)

Wow, that looks super weird. Have never seen stuff like that before. Looks like a font issue at least, probably amongst others. Did the game function properly before you upgraded Wine? In that case I'd try to run Civ4 with the older well-functioning version of Wine. This can be done manually with Wine "bottles", or more automatically/easier with programs such as Lutris. You can try to install the basic Windows fonts into that "bottle", just in case it helps. And as usual, you need MSXML3 added for the game to function properly. No idea if lacking that can cause those issues, but it can (or will) cause problems with the map at times.

I have no experience with Arch sadly, so if it does anything special with Wine or whatever, you can try to look for solutions on more Arch-related sites I suppose.

Also, make sure the graphics card drivers are updated. You never know, it may impact stuff like this too.
