Civilization IV(Beyond the sword) crashing on "init engine"(UNDER LINUX)

[sander881]

hey guys,

I hope this is not the wrong place to post my problem but I just hope there is a other civ 4 player at this forum who also plays it via linux(ubuntu for me) and can help with this problem.


After installing civilization IV succesfully (Civilization IV works perfectly). I installed beyond to the sword and warlods, after that I updated them with the latest patches but the same error still appears (when the loader comes to the "init engine" it crashes, the crash looks as following:

After checking the support websites, like winehq and the ubuntu forums, the solutions sugested there didn't fix my problem it still crashes when the loader comes to "init engine".
My warlords has the same sort of error as beyond the sword, the weird error once appeared with context and said the following: Failed to Initialize Renderer - check directx version and graphics settings

thanks,

Sander881

Try this forum, it lists all the files and fixes, wine configuration that you need to do. I've had a flawless play since I used these methods.

Solution for Choppy audio 2 part.

1) Use System Configuration under Civ 4 Audio Options Ctl-0
2) Use Emulation mode under Wine for Audio.

Works with Wine version 1.44, and Ubuntu 10.04
