Civ stalling when loading saves (linux/wine)

[shulgi]

So my system is sufficient for running civ but also old and a bit slow (1 X 2.5 GHz, 3 GB ram, enough video) and am playing the Steam version under WINE on openSUSE/RazorQt or KDE. Civ works fine maybe 1/2 of the time, but has been stalling when trying to load a save (over and over and over again), specifically getting stuck with "setting up map" or some such message while the save is loading. Ideas? The install was done using winestricks and wineprefixes for 32 bit.

Though I use Linux exclusively at home now, I'm not a super expert on it (nor was I in Windows, actually). I haven't updated to wine 1.5 yet though I will soon.

Did you do any WINE updates that break functionality? How have you set up the version for Civ IV?

You also have to be careful when doing prefixes/winetricks/etc to make sure you choose between native or emulated; I had custom games/load screens crash when using one of those but not the other (I believe the choices are built-in and native, but I am not home to see my configuration). Civ IV has not locked up on me in nearly a year now, though I fear for my future as I'm probably going to clean install Mint 14 (going up from Mint 11) and that's going to force some re-working!

Thanks, I have been able to use this wine setup by starting custom games and then loading my saves. This works more often than just loading a save but both are highly susceptible to fail.

msxml3 is running native, overriding wine. d3dx9 is not, I will try native and see if that works. Aside from using wineprefixes so that Steam would install 32 bit I have not changed winecfg beside that. I am pretty sure the other applications from the winehq page are installed as in the 32 bit prefix.

There's probably more info that I need to give about winecfg but I am not entirely sure what that is.

I don't think updating from the previous version of wine 1.5-something to this caused any additional problems - some of the map zoom in/out with the wheel is far better whether that was solved by the update or not.

 

[shulgi]

I went through the steps in the sticky by damunzy. To winecfg added d3dx9_26 and changed the override to this and msxml3 to native,builtin. Made sure I had all the dlls in drive_c/system 32, needed to download a couple streamci and msxml3, renamed instead of deleted the msxml3 in the Beyond the Sword directory.

Loading may be working better, will have to update this

Zoom in and zoom out is pretty screwed up, both with wheel and page up/down keys. Sensitivity is incredibly high, zooming out to the stars or to a single tile. The only way I can get a normal field of vision is all the way out on the field of view settings in BUG, so those settings have been effected as well.

@TheMeInTeam

I'm still having some trouble with loading saves and the map view has gotten a lot worse. I have to zoom out to around 95 or so on field of view which has roughly the same view as the default, the distortion is pretty noticeable and hard to play with. If you can check your winecfg that'd be great. Did you delete the msxml3.dll in the BtS directory, move it to system32 or something else? I also took the path of installing directx9 after my other attempts failed and my winecfg overrides were made in the user.reg file per http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable-on-linux-with-wine.html

I may need to delete and start with a clean wineprefix. I may hold off a bit as I can take the shortcut of rebooting into windows.
