Cannot load on four different machines by Simon Rorke on Thursday February 14th 2013, 9:33 I am trying to run CivIV through Wine 1.53. I am trying to follow the instructions but (despite being not a Ubuntu Noob) am having problems. My first problem is the statement: "Find the NoCD patch for version 1.61 of Civ4." What is this? There is a patch for v1.61, but is it NoCD? I have a CD version of the game that requires the disk to be in the computer before it will play. Will it work with this? Secondly, there are instructions to use various DLLs. Can one select a load of DLLs or must the correct DLL be selected only? This is my best output from a machine that is Ubuntu 12.04. 6150M2MA:~$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msxml3=n" wine "c:\program files\firaxis games\sid meier's civilization 4\civilization4.exe" -v fixme:service:SERV_QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x13a5d0 4 0x13f858 0 0x32f020 - semi-stub fixme:service:SERV_QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x13a5d0 4 0x13f858 28 0x32f020 - semi-stub fixme:service:SetServiceObjectSecurity 0x13a5d0 4 0x32ef9c fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 55 (SPI_SETMOUSEKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS) err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised err:menubuilder:Process_Link unable to load L"C:\\program files\\firaxis games\\sid meier's civilization 4\\Saves.lnk" err:menubuilder:wWinMain failed to build menu item for L"C:\\program files\\firaxis games\\sid meier's civilization 4\\Saves.lnk" err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\windows\\system32\\msxml3.dll" err:ole:create_server class {373984c9-b845-449b-91e7-45ac83036ade} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {373984c9-b845-449b-91e7-45ac83036ade} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\windows\\system32\\msxml3.dll" err:ole:create_server class {f6d90f11-9c73-11d3-b32e-00c04f990bb4} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {f6d90f11-9c73-11d3-b32e-00c04f990bb4} could be created for context 0x15 err:menubuilder:Process_Link unable to load L"C:\\program files\\firaxis games\\sid meier's civilization 4\\CivilizationIV.ini.lnk" err:menubuilder:wWinMain failed to build menu item for L"C:\\program files\\firaxis games\\sid meier's civilization 4\\CivilizationIV.ini.lnk" [post new] [reply to this]

I think Intel sna may break this game by Alex on Thursday January 17th 2013, 21:51 Not 100% sure SNA is the issue, as my Wine may have auto-updated since the last time I played it, but having an issue now where the game won't render any 3D (just a black screen with the HUD overlay) after zooming, until you pan around the map to a black area and then come back to an area that's filled.

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). I installed Wine and the setup from Civ4 DVD was fine. 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 downloaded and replaced the single DLL's as written above in windows/system32.

on the Calander test commment by Brian Gorman on Thursday October 25th 2012, 21:33 If you map goes black, or zoom straight out to the stars upon researching Calender, just save the game, and reload it. This fixes the problem. I think from memory it was a problem fixed early on in the patches for Windows releases, but hasn't been addressed for the Linux emulation community. P.S. any other times it zooms out to the star view, or goes black upon loading a game, just reload again to fix. [post new] [reply to this]

My Mod fix by Thomas Jones on Thursday October 25th 2012, 16:24 I was having difficulty getting the Next War playing, I could get it to load but as soon as I pressed single player, it crashed and froze. Playing an ordinary game or a custom game was flawless (I installed it through PlayOnLinux, although I wouldn't say that matters) I couldn't install the patch because it was adamant that I hadn't Civ4 installed. The first thing I did was change it so that it filled the screen, annoying when it changes the resolution. I went into: .wine > drive_c > program files > 2k games > Firaxis > ~Civ4 I found the _Civ4Config.lnk which is basically a link to the .ini file I opened it through wine. I found something that said to fix the audio change: EnableVoice = 1 to EnableVoice = 0 Then for the screen resolution: ScreenHeight = 0 ScreenWidth = 0 ScreenHeight = 768 ScreenWidth = 1366 Okay, so the Mod fix: I navigated back to civ4 folder inside the .wine folder and went to Beyond the Sword > Mods > Next War and opened the NextWar.ini file in notepad. I changed: ModularLoading = 0 to ModularLoading = 1 And I changed: SinglePlayerOnly = 0 to SinglePlayerOnly = 1 after i saved it, i managed to get passed the Single player menu I haven't played it yet though, I'm simply assuming that it solved it.

by Thomas Benn on Sunday January 8th 2012, 3:42 Thanks for the reply. Problem solved. I ran winecfg but only for the dll overrides and never added my DVD-drive as a virtual. Once I did that everything works fine. I will test in the next few days (too busy with work) if the game now starts without the DVD in the slot, which it really should, and report back.

I also added the dll-overrides as far as possible.

wine 1.3.25 by Brian Gorman on Monday July 25th 2011, 3:40 This version of wine radically alters the sound in ALSA. IF you lose sound when upgrading, you'll find its asking for WWMAX5.1 or something similar. I finally figured out, it just wants your ole internal sound card from the motherboard (me) to be set to 5.1 regardless of ability to produce said sounds. Configure sound, set hardware to 5.1 output. (don't worry if you can't do it,(what the petulant 2yr old computer quasi toddler wants, it gets) and Viola, sound again from the game. ME. I can only produce stereo from an Analogue input, ie speakers, headphones, etc. Now it wants to produce 5.1, well, if I can only produce stereo, but it thinks its 5.1 why argue. We'll see if I get the sudden sound crashes still?? [post new] [reply to this]

Installation using civ IV gold + BTS, Patch to 3.19 by Phil on Friday July 22nd 2011, 4:14 Hi all, TheMeInTeam here (from civfanatics/youtube) Wine 1.3 off my package manager (I NEEDED to update it from 1.2, very important!). Recently swapped to linux (mint 11 katya) over from windows. It's been a learning experience. I had some help forum side and while I had a hell of a time getting this sucker to work with civ IV, once I did so the game works flawlessly in everything I've attempted. Let's put this simply though...installing from multiple CDs can be a little wonky. First of all, the CD versions of the game don't have copy protection, only the EXE file post-installation (except using noCD or with 3.19 expansion patch). Copy them onto hard drive (I actually put all 3 cds into 1 directory for civ IV gold, and did a 2nd one for the two bts CDs). Used playonlinux to install it from HD which went without a hitch. No need to patch anything up with this method, just install gold then BTS (or vanilla to bts whatever). I did this without the built-in civ IV in PoL because I had a different version; still installed fine. Once installed up to 3.19 (the exe installer will work in PoL for the patch!), you need the dlls. WineHQ here lists them, the d3dx9 stuff. I ran into an XML parser issue after this, apparently if you run it built-in the game will crash at "setup map" but if I ran it native I got the error message. My msxml3 was a stub -----> make sure ALL of your dll files are set properly in wine. Using PoL you can do this by going into "unsupported software installation" -----> "manual installation" -----> "edit existing application" -----> civilization4 -----> "configure wine". Using this method you can use a graphical interface to add the needed DLLs. If the game doesn't work, check their sizes/not stub in the system32 folder under the appropriate wine prefix. Finally, a piece of advice: trying to run the game from terminal, you can stare at the terminal and see the EXACT moment of crash. This is how I realized I still had wine 1.2 despite what PoL said I was running, AND how I realized my ms3xml was a stub. I do not have any of the issues with sound/crashes/etc that I've seen here on wineHQ. This is definitely a gold-rated game wineHQ terms ----> i've gone through several games now without issue...the only issue is the installation which I must say was quite interesting for a total linux rookie!

1.61 sometimes blacking out by protonspring on Sunday July 10th 2011, 0:27 winever: 1.3.21 Civilization IV 1.61 I thought I had setup correctly, (but I didn't pay close enough attention to detail). I was having problems with the game going black at times (usually upon discovery of something important). The game would keep playing, I just could only see some parts of the game and I'd have to start a new game. I was able to fix mine by: 1. set msxml3.dll to "native" in winecfg. 2. remove the dll's from the CivilizationIV install folder. 2. make sure the real msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll are in your windows/system32 folder. After that, I was able to play full games with no issues. Hope that saves someone some grief. [post new] [reply to this]

Solved black map and hang in "end turn" by eozkucur on Sunday June 26th 2011, 10:53 Hi, I used to run Civ IV fine until updating wine to 1.3.15. With the new version I had black map problem in late periods and hanging during ending turns. I solved these problems by copying native msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll to system32 folder and allow only native override in winecfg. Previously those native files were in Civ IV installation folder, but it did not work with native override. The native d3dx*.dll files are still in Civ IV installation folder. I hope it helps.

What worked for me by none on Wednesday June 22nd 2011, 18:54 Civilization 4 and Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword Using PlayOnLinux A general tutorial I have tested this on my own system. I offer no guarantees that it will work. This process is what worked for me. First install the latest version of Wine and PlayOnLinux on your system. There are many guides on how to do this all over so I will not cover it here. Next, use the add program feature to install and update civ 4 to v1.74 Go to www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html Under the wine section download PlayOnLinux-wine-1.3.3.pol Open playonlinux on your system. Click the install button On the bottom of the selection window there is a link called Install a .pol package or an unsupported application. Click this link, select install a .pol package Point this at PlayOnLinux-wine-1.3.3.pol This will complete with no feedback Next click the install button from the main PlayOnLinux window again. Again select Install a .pol package or an unsupported application. Select manual installation select forward select edit an existing prefix select your civilization 4 install prefix select the box “Assign a wine version to a program” In the drop down select 1.3.3 Point the program at the setup.exe file located at the root of the install media. If you are using a cd this should be easily located in your places list. If you mounted the iso point to the directory in which you mounted it and again to the setup.exe file. Allow the game to run and install normally I will stop here as the rest should be self explanatory. If you have issues. Play around until you figure it out. The important things here are to use playonlinux to install civ4 and patch civ4, then to make sure you use the 1.3.3.pol package as the assigned wine version. Also if you patch BTS also install it manually with the 1.3.3.pol package. I hope this helps others as it took me a LONG time to hunt all of this down and put it together. [post new] [reply to this]

Patch can't find the game by Jonas on Wednesday June 8th 2011, 11:39 Hi! Running Ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME and wine 1.2.2. I installed civ4 until BTS, and everything worked fine. But when I want to play on internet, it ask me to patch to the 3.19. I tried it but got the same error than Michel Belleville (see "Error trying to install BtS 3.19 patch" here under). The solution given is to first patch to 3.17 then to 3.19. I downloaded it, but when I lauch it, it says no BTS app can be found ... I tried previous patches (3.02, 3.03 and 3.13), all of them have the same issue ...

Overrided libraries update by Joachim on Sunday February 20th 2011, 5:01 Yesterday, I was playing when experiencing a new blocking bug in Civ 4 so I started a fresh new wine prefix (wine 1.3.13) to see if there were conflicts. I was able to start and have Civ 4 running "full screen" in 1680x1050 graphics high, sound OK, with ONLY 2 dll updated. I configured no dll override but instead replaced the default d3dx9_31.dll and d3dx9_32.dll with the ones from directx (I got directx on an older prefix with winetricks). But my problem was not solved : at the end of a specific turn, the civ4 "hourglass" icon appears an keep rotating indefinitely (the civ4 hourglass icon is a kind of wheel with 2 rotating wings). All animations are stoped, and when I try to close the wine desktop window, wine says the app is hanged. When this occurs, Civ4 use 100% CPU fixed on one core instead of 100% CPU shared and switching on 2 cores. I'll crawl forums and bugzilla but if you're experiencing the same and have a solution...

Problem with Civ4 by James Sparrow on Sunday January 30th 2011, 18:32 Hiall, I have a problem running Civilization 4 complete on Linux Ubuntu with wine 1.3.10 using the wineprefix function of PlayOnLinux after following exactly the steps described in the test appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10158, using e.g. a GForce 8200. After installing Civ4 complete (DVD) on the cleaned wine version I updated with BTS 3.19 (it seemed to me that Civ4 and Warlords were already actual on DVD). Then I copied exactly the mentioned dlls to the wine system32 folder (d3dx9_26.dll d3dx9_31.dll d3dx9_32.dll d3dx9_33.dll d3dx9_34.dll msxml3.dll msxml3r.dll), set the overrides and removed the mentioned files from the game folder (there was only one in BTS). Starting the game in terminal would crash as in vanilla Civ4 as in Warlords as in BTS at "Init Engine", telling about "serious errors" and ending the program. BTS start looks like that: user@desktop:~$ wine /home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Civ4/drive_c/Programme/2K\ Games/Firaxis\ Games/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ 4\ Complete/Beyond\ the\ Sword/Civ4BeyondSword.exe -v fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 55 (SPI_SETMOUSEKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS) err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1 err:menubuilder:Process_Link unable to load L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\Logs.lnk" err:menubuilder:wWinMain failed to build menu item for L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\Logs.lnk" err:menubuilder:Process_Link unable to load L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\Saves.lnk" err:menubuilder:wWinMain failed to build menu item for L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\Saves.lnk" err:menubuilder:Process_Link unable to load L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\CivilizationIV.ini.lnk" err:menubuilder:wWinMain failed to build menu item for L"Z:\\home\\user\\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\\Civ4\\drive_c\\Programme\\2K Games\\Firaxis Games\\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\\Beyond the Sword\\CivilizationIV.ini.lnk" fixme:wtsapi:WTSRegisterSessionNotification Stub 0x1c007a 0x00000000 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32ed18,0x00000000), stub! wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000ca7 at address 0xf5c9ec24 (thread 0009), starting debugger...

Wonder building by Sviat on Friday January 21st 2011, 15:12 Hello! I have the Civ 4 Complete installed on the wine 1.3.9 on my dell laptop. When I run the original Civ4 1.74 everything works fine except one damn thing! When my Wonder is done everything except the HUD goes black and the game becomes unplayable(loading don't work). So I have to play without Wonders... Terminal says nothing. In winecfg msxml3 is set as "builtin" otherwise I get an error "Caught unhandled exception creating XML parser object" when the game is lunching. Turning the wonder movies off don't helps. Any ideas? thanks... [post new] [reply to this]

Seems to work great by Robert Schauer on Saturday September 4th 2010, 0:49 I haven't done extensive testing yet, but I installed using PlayOnLinux (which downloaded Wine 1.1.43), and it seems to run just fine. I had terrible audio (pops and clicks like a bad MP3), but following the above instruction to set "Emulation" in Wine audio settings cleared it up, without changing anything else in the game options (I actually didn't see the option that was mentioned; maybe it has been changed by Civ4 1.74).

Fails at Init Engine by Boni Xavier on Thursday August 26th 2010, 7:54 My BTS won't load. It freezes at init engine and won't move further. Sometimes I get a black screen when I try to run it disconnected from the internet. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Wine 1.2. I'm a total Ubuntu noob so please be gentle. If I have to submit some logs or attachments or settings, please let me know. Being able to play games is the only thing keeping me from kissing Windows goodbye so please help me not make Bill Gates any richer. :) [post new] [reply to this]

Crash after second intro vid by Christian A. on Friday August 20th 2010, 14:28 I've successfully run Bts 3.19 on my iMac by following the instructions above. But now, as I try to run it on my Macbook, it crashes everytime after the second intro-video. I've done the exact same as I did on my iMac. Any ideas?

Trouble with fullscreen mode by Arun Raghavan on Friday August 20th 2010, 2:18 The game either freezes or goes *really* slowly (takes a few minutes to get through a small part of the intro video) in full screen mode (1920x1080), but runs smoothly if I've got Wine running in a window. This is with Wine 1.3.0 on Gentoo. [post new] [reply to this]

changing window resolution to 1920x1080 by Daniel Neugebauer on Tuesday August 17th 2010, 16:43 Does anybody know how to get 1920x1080 window resolution in-game? I don't mean fullscreen or virtual desktop size but the resolutions shown in graphic options for windowed mode in-game. It lists some resolutions including 1920x1200 but 16:9 resolutions are missing. If I run BTS on Windows 7 I get those options, so I assume there's something in either the registry or wine itself that prevents those resolutions to be listed. Is there any way 1920x1080 could be forced? I'm using a 1920x1200 native desktop resolution but since I get 1080 offered in Windows I don't think it's something with the game itself.

Correct directions for Civ iv Complete by Sean Zlatnik on Tuesday July 27th 2010, 4:07 Hi, I own Civ IV Complete- mine comes on a single dvd. The directions seem a bit ambiguous- do I still copy those directx dlls first? Do I need to install it through wine, or can I install it directly (running autorun.exe)? Honestly, if anyone has successfully got everything to work, particularly with the new version of wine (1.2 at the time of this message) I'd really appreciate it. The problems I have- either the video is choppy, or the program doesn't take the whole screen (thus the navigation bar that says what programs are on blocks the exit link and whatever else was there to see), and the world video that shows what the planet looks like, depending on your settings (fractal, continents, etc.) doesn't show up, and the larger pictures of the leaders' faces doesn't show either. I'm trying to follow the directions, but between the directions below, and the directions above, it seem a bit complicated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [post new] [reply to this]

Taking Screen shots by Brian Gorman on Tuesday May 25th 2010, 22:07 After solving the Audio Issues for myself, and hopefully others. I'm now here with a problem of taking screen shots. Civ 4 won't release the window to the screen shot window. I Alt tab to bring up the screen shot icon, a box but no vision of screen shot. I hit return and it saves to my folder, but when I look at the screen shot, it has bleeding of some of the background into the screen shot viewing. Version is 10.04 for Ubuntu, wine version 1.20 rc and using F spot Photo Manager by default. I'm at a loss why some of the background is bleeding into the screen shot, in line or bands across the screen shot. I have Vertical shader support by hardware, and have updated my video card drivers to latest version, with allow pixel shader. various overrides for d3dx9's, msmxl3 and 4 [post new] [reply to this]

Solution to choppy Audio by Brian Gorman on Friday May 21st 2010, 8:31 Here's a possible solution to the Choppy audio issue, or the one where it seems to run fine, then will suddenly cut out. Usually in Diplomacy or entering a screen. 2 fold solution; 1- Use System configuration for Audio under Civ 4 options for Audio, no other option is to be used, even if you have that option. Note only tested for Headphones and Speaker system. This should be about the 4th option down on the list. 2- Emulation must be enabled under the wine Audio configuration tab, this will solve most audio problems alone, but will eventually fail on its own. This has been tested on a huge map, for 12 hr's of straight game playing. Audio runs fine, sound effects are enabled. All audio options were set to highest setting. Tested with Ubuntu 10.04 and wine version 1.34. Install game as noted previously, enable emulation under wine, then set System configuration under Civ 4 audio options. [post new] [reply to this]

Audio Issues by Brian Gorman on Tuesday May 18th 2010, 18:46 I've a potential solution to the Choppy Audio Issues, or if you sound seem to run fine initially, then will suddenly drop out all together. 1st, you MUST use System Configuration for your sound card, under the Audio options in Civilization 4. DON'T use any other option, even if you have them. Note, only tested for Headphones and Speaker systems. 2nd your Audio options under wine, should be use Emulation. It won't work with any other options enabled. Again tested only under the conditions of a Built in Audio System to Mother board. Doing this will enable clear, consistent sounds. No more choppy audio, no more sound suddenly cutting out. Follow all other recommendations for installation of Civ 4, it works better under Wine and Ubuntu 10.04 then windows. Though will still have memory leak from emulation windows..what else [post new] [reply to this]

In game map scrolling blurry by Tomi on Tuesday May 11th 2010, 13:06 I've installed the game successfully and and it seems to work fine, but I have issue with moving at the map in game. It feels like the redrawing is so slow that I can almost see horizontal lines of redraw when moving on map. It seems that it doesn't make difference if I use 1024x768 or 1900x1200 resolution nor antialias or detail settings, scrolling itself feels smooth but graphics are somehow distorted so that it makes my eyes hurt.

msxml3 by Evil on Sunday May 9th 2010, 14:49 It should be noted in the test data / known issues that this game does not work without installing msxml3 (supported by winetricks). I just bought "Sid Meier's Civilization® IV: The Complete Edition" via Steam, and the CivIV game will not start without doing this. Luckily comments about the non-steam version pointed me to the correct workaround. I've added the 8107 bug to this game to reflect this dependency. [post new] [reply to this]

Init XML (uncached) by Chris Duston on Friday March 12th 2010, 18:46 Hey all, So my game startup is freezing at this stage (it says "Init XML uncached)" on the progress bar). I am using Wine 1.1.40, Ubuntu 9.10. The regular game works fine, it's just Beyond the Sword that does not. It does not work with this update or the original game. I don't get a crash message, just one of those "doesn't work in wine, check the DB" messages. I have tried several things I found on these pages. Installed dotnet20, msxml3, vcrun2003, and corefonts via winetricks, and set msxml3 to override in winecfg (I also did msxml3r, but that had no effect). I've tried removing the msxml3.dll from the BTW folder with no luck either. Any suggestions? thanks guys! Chris [post new] [reply to this]

Problem loading mods by John Doe 69 on Friday January 29th 2010, 23:33 I had some old .iso from my late window partition, and decided to try and install civ 4. The installation went smooth. i followed the instructions, patchd after each updated, and soon i had Civ 4 BtS 3.03 installed just as if i was in windows. then i updated to 3.19 and everything worked perfectly. Just for the record: ubuntu 9.04, wine 1.1.37 with the following winetricks packages installed: d3dx9 (directx 9); msxml3 (XML 3); msxml4 (XML 4) and dotnet20 (.NET 2.0). The 3.19 patch didnt need an NO-CD crack. BUT (major but here) if i load a mod, any mod, the "Play Now" option will be grayed out and unselecteable. No idea why this happens. So, I've played vanilla Civ4 many times now on my ubuntu box, with only minor grafic glitches (not game breaking), but i'm unable to play a mod. [post new] [reply to this]

Jumpy sound by Edmund Schluessel on Friday January 15th 2010, 22:31 I did a bit more poking with the jumpy, stuttery in-game sound. This problem appears on my machine when in the game's options menu the sound is set to stereo, but goes away when sound is set to mono.

r600 testing and some random wine notes by rlazur on Sunday January 10th 2010, 12:23 1. Enabling hardware vertex shaders causes a gpu lockup in 2.6.32-rc7 and 2.6.33-rc3 and mesa-7.8 (git). 2. The game works great without vertex shaders if you use wine-1.1.2x, but if you switch to wine-1.1.3x you need to turn on the vertex shader stuff, which effectively means rating changes to garbage. 3. It's particularly difficult to revert back .wine between those versions. At the moment I'm stuck running wine via winedbg to test as running Steam with wine and launching games is garbage. Tried to just use the old version of wine and ran into the same issue plus dll issues. There's very little instructions on reverting back to an old wine version successfully without re-installing everything, which quite frankly is very depressing. [post new] [reply to this]

Updated Test Result by Danel on Thursday January 7th 2010, 8:37 Hi, I tested more of the game and checked it against the results of other Civ4 Versions. So here is more of what is working and what isn't (I don't know how to update my test result): - The Leaderheads are faulty. (Eyes missing, black cloth, etc.) - The resolution does not switch back when I exit the Program from full screen. - The sound jitters (I didn't tried the pulse version from ppa) - No progress bar at the cities - Faulty life bars of units - If compiz is running, the gnome-panel is visible in full screen mode I think the game should be also installable from CDs if you choose setup.exe and not autorun.exe, I can't test this, because I have all my games on my external HDD and no CDs here. But the game is still more than playable and very addictive. Thanks wine team. [post new] [reply to this]

We are almost platinum with this by arroccali on Sunday October 4th 2009, 9:11 I played this game a lot in the last weeks. I completed whole long session games. The game itself seem to be even faster than on Vista (same pc), most of all in loading and scrolling. I also played quite a few mods. I think we are basically platinum with this. This are a few minor issues left: - some time when you launch it you just get a black screen without loading the starting videos. I have to retry a few times, then it just works perfectly and never crashed on me. - to load the mod using a link i should have to add -mod="Rise of Mankind" for instance. But there's some bug in there. It does not work. I have to use -mod=" Rise of Mankind" with a whitespace to workaround it. - As someone said you have to use the wintricks script to install xml support, directX stuff and i would also add allcodecs for the video. Nothing else was necessary to make this work. One other thing if you are stucked. I don't know if it is important. But at the beginning i could not make it work. I destroyed the .wine directory and recreated it as new an reinstalled it from scratch. Then it worked. Dunno why. Cheers [post new] [reply to this]

no audio in 1.1.25 or 1.1.27 by Toni on Sunday August 23rd 2009, 2:49 I'we been missing audio since I upgraded to 1.1.25. Game says that unusable audio device is selected and wine claims that alsa device is busy. No other game except "CIV4:Colonization" are effected.

Overly complicated by Robert Mallis on Friday August 14th 2009, 9:58 This procedure is overly complicated. Some previous posts show a procedure based on a blog by Tombuntu which is much easier. No-CD patches are no longer necessary at all for vanilla civ due to advances in wine itself and as of patch 3.19 for BTS, due to Firaxis releasing 3.19 as a no-cd executable natively.

about 64bit dll's by argh! on Thursday March 19th 2009, 23:50 "Nevertheless, keep in mind that Microsoft has released different d3dx9_32.dll for the 32 bit windows and the 64 bit Windows. Therefore, when runing with Linux x64, the dll to add should be that of 64 bits." Isn't wine _always_ running with 32bit libs on 64bit linux systems? im asking, but if there wasn't this message at the top i would be entierly shure. for example, on my system (archlinux) i need the bin32-nvidia-utils package to runs 3d stuff in wine, so graphics libraries don't seem to be an exception. not that such an exception would make any sense..

2 remaining problems to perfection by Franco on Sunday March 8th 2009, 10:24 Hi, i've been trying to make this game work for a long time. Then i came in here, and noticed how easy it was (with the msxml thing) Now the only problem iḿ still experimenting is with the bars beneath the cities, the ones that shows you when your city will be growing and when the production is finished... i don't get the bars neither the number, so i have to go city by city hovering my mouse to see... the other problem i'm facing is when you zoom out to world view... some parts of the terrain are not rendered and just show black, but others do. Is there any workaround for any of these ? regards and thanks for saving me from those tedious reboots to windoze. cheers, [post new] [reply to this]

mouse trouble by dave on Wednesday March 4th 2009, 1:27 hi, I installed civ4 with patch ver 1.6 and cracked executable on Ubuntu 8.10. It loads up and gets to the main menu but then the mouse stops functioning properly, the cursor looks like the proper civ4 cursor but does not click properly and reverts back to the ubuntu cursor when scrolled over the top and bottom borders, and then back to the civ4 cursor when leaving the border. I find the only way to get around click the buttons is to use the tab and spacebar method, alot of fixme errors flood the terminal when loading begins so I wont post the entire thing unless you really want it but the lines I believe to be most relivent could be: fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_CreateIconFromANI Loading all frames for .ani cursors not implemented.

wierd install issues by Mark Kosmowski on Saturday August 9th 2008, 5:57 I am working on getting this to run on my wine 1.1.2 on OpenSUSE 11.0. I obtained wine from the OpenSUSE community build repository. This is my first use of wine. My machine is a dual-Opteron system with an AGP X800 Radeon, 4 Gb RAM. Initially I installed Civ 4 (base). I need to cancel the DirectX install that comes up prior to the Civ 4 install or the DirectX install fails and hangs at exit. So I get Civ4 installed. I did NOT apply the Civ4 patch. I then tried installing BtS. I received messages saying BtS installer was looking for DirectX, then installing Civ4 patch then started installing BtS. However, the BtS installer vehemently refused to see the second DVD after it asked for it. I was able to copy cab3 from the DVD to my hard drive so I do not think this is the issue. I have repeated this behavior twice. After my initial attempt to install BtS I tried again using several of the suggestions given here, however, I think that there was a partial install that interfered with a new install since the installer would just exit after informing me it was checking for DirectX. I obtained my dll files from www.dll-files.com/ and the msxml.dll file was different than the one already in system32 - should I overwrite this? Also, I was unable to find a msxml3r.dll file from that site and do not currently have a WinXP machine available (hardware issues). If I want to start with a fresh wine, can I just delete .wine? I don't need to uninstall / reinstall the wine package, do I? [post new] [reply to this]

Issues with directx9c by ivan on Tuesday July 15th 2008, 14:16 From WineReview: About DirectX Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. DirectX, then, was the generic term for all of these Direct-something APIs, and that term became the name of the collection. Over the intervening years, some of these APIs have been deprecated and replaced, so that this naming convention is no longer absolute. In fact, the X has caught on to the point that it has replaced Direct as the common part in the names of new DirectX technologies, including XAct, XInput, and so forth. Direct3D (the 3D graphics API within DirectX) is widely used in the development of computer games for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Xbox, and Microsoft Xbox 360. Direct3D is also used by other software applications for visualization and graphics tasks, most notably among the engineering sector for CAD/CAM, because of its ability to quickly render high-quality 3D graphics using DirectX-compatible graphics hardware. As Direct3D is the most widely recognized API in DirectX, it is not uncommon to see the name DirectX used in place of Direct3D. Wine configuration This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop. $ winecfg Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtual desktop in the graphics tab if you wish. This is a good time to also set your Audio driver in the Audio tab. next up is to install a native mscoree.dll and streamci.dll into /system32 from a windows install and set then to native Windows. Go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename d3d8, d3d9, ddraw, dsound, dsound.vxd, quartz dlls to *.bak You will need to set a large number of dlls to native for the install to work properly. Here is the full list of dlls that need to be set. "d3d8"="native" "d3d9"="native" "d3dim"="native" "d3drm"="native" "d3dx8"="native" "d3dxof"="native" "dciman32"="native" "ddrawex"="native" "devenum"="native" "dinput"="native" "dinput8"="native" "dmband"="native" "dmcompos"="native" "dmime"="native" "dmloader"="native" "dmscript"="native" "dmstyle"="native" "dmsynth"="native" "dmusic"="native" "dplay"="native" "dplayx"="native" "dpnaddr"="native" "dpnet"="native" "dpnhpast"="native" "dswave"="native" "dxdiagn"="native" "mscoree"="native" "quartz"="native" "streamci"="native" Installing Directx Download DirectX 9.0c November release from here. The directx_nov2007_redist.exe executable will extract the installer files to a directory of your choice. tom@tuxonfire ~ $ wine directx_nov2007_redist.exe fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA "z:\\home\\tom\\directx-9\\" 00000000 fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported. tom@tuxonfire ~ $ Now cd to the directory where you choose to extract the DirectX installer and run DXSETUP.EXE. tom@tuxonfire ~ $ cd /home/tom/directx-9 tom@tuxonfire ~/directx-9 $ wine DXSETUP.EXE fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported. Run winecfg again and set d3d8, d3d9, ddrawex, dinut, dinput8 to builtin wine. Now lets run dxdiag.exe tom@tuxonfire ~/directx-9 $ cd /home/tom/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 tom@tuxonfire ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 $ wine dxdiag.exe fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),1,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub! Now we need to install gm.dls to test Direct Music, this driver file goes into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers You will notice in system32 d3dx9_24.dll up to d3dx9_36.dll is now installed, this really helps when you run into a game that needs these additional DirectX dlls. Now you have the option to run most DirectX dlls in native or builtin mode, for example if you have a game that's crashing on the builtin Wine quartz.dll you can test the game with the native Windows dll to see if this will improve the situation. Keep in mind d3d8, d3d9, ddraw will only work as builtin, and in most cases you should try to use builtin dsound and dinput. I have had limited success with (dsound and dinput) in native Windows mode btw... The reason why these dlls have to be used in builtin mode is there need for direct access to your hardware. direct music and direct play can be used in native windows mode in most circumstances.

XML errors galore by tadadata on Saturday July 12th 2008, 11:22 All I had to do on Wine 1.0 to get civ 4 working is copy msxml3.dll from XP to c:\windows\system32 and regsvr32 the dll! Fantastic performance, everything works. [post new] [reply to this]

Not Working for Me. by Tim on Monday June 30th 2008, 13:21 I'm running Wine Version: 1.1.0 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. I followed the above instructions, copied all the dlls making wine use msxml3 as native, install went flawlessly except for the expected error at the end of patches, but I keep getting this error when I try to start the game: "Caught unhandled exception creating XML parser object Current XML file is:".

XML Error by Xavier Vachon on Sunday June 15th 2008, 18:37 I have installed Civ4 and the warlords expansion so far, the Beyond the Sword installation crashes right after it begins to copy the files. I installed the DX9 patch and the missing librairies as mentioned, however I cannot find the librairies I am supposed to delete in the game directory. Are they hidden? Both games produce these errors at startup: Error locating tag node in SetGlobalClassInfo function Current XML file is : GameInfo/CIV4PlayerOptionInfos.xml Error locating tag node in SetGlobalClassInfo function Current XML file is : GameInfo/CIV4GraphicOptionInfos.xml And afterwards the game vanishes. Any idea on what is possibly wrong? [post new] [reply to this]

Civ 4 BtS 3.13 wine rc5 by Miro on Sunday June 15th 2008, 18:22 From a windows machine copy d3dx9_26.dll, d3dx9_31.dll, d3dx9_32.dll, d3dx9_33.dll over to the wine (drive_c/windows) system32 folder. Also copy msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll and set native override for msxml3 from wineconfig. In order for the game to install also copy mscoree.dll Set mode to windows 98 and install Civ 4, then Civ 4 1.74 patch. Note you must give it default express install and install it somewhere in .wine, otherwise it seems to fail for some reason. I tried installing on another partition of my hard drive and it did not work. After installing civ 4 and patch 1.74 install BtS. Directx would give some mscoree error, but ignore that and the program would install. Then install BtS patch 3.13. Set windows mode back to winXP and play the game. This worked on Kubuntu 8.04 i386, wine rc5. [post new] [reply to this]

Beyond the Sword Install fails by James on Sunday June 8th 2008, 20:55 The installation for Beyond the Sword fails EVERY time with rc4. It flashes a message about checking directx components, or something like that, and then the program just quits.

Making it run with 1.0-rc1 by Darryl Dixon on Friday May 16th 2008, 7:16 Well, the forum just ate 90% of my previous post, so I guess I can't post full details here, sorry everyone... Summary: Everything works perfectly patched to the latest releases (2.13 for Warlords and 3.13 for Beyond the Sword). Catches: *) I needed to manually add uninstall information to the registry for the two enhancements before the update patches would run. *) I needed to run wineprefixcreate before wine would use the native msxml3.dll even though winecfg said that it should. *) I set EnableVoice = 0 in all the relevant CivilizationIV.ini files. Hope this helps someone. darryl.dixon@gmail.com [post new] [reply to this]

Seems to detect DVD fine nowadays by Seppo Yli-Olli on Sunday May 11th 2008, 7:56 The no dvd patch mentioned in the howto seems to be unnecessary nowadays. It detected DVD fine for me after the overrides. For some weird reason DVD detection only worked *after* the overrides though. [post new] [reply to this]

Hardy Problem? by Dan on Thursday April 24th 2008, 20:56 Hi, Had this running pretty sweet with Gutsy and 5.9, but without really mulling over the consequences I upgraded to Hardy and managed to break it! Re-installing Wine 5.9 from the hardy repository didn't work, so I'm hoping that when 6.0 for Hardy-64 is available that might get it working again, but if there was anything that could fix it in the mean time? It gets to about the end of the loading screen and then freezes, I think the message may be "engine failed init" or something similar, but it's hard to see as it flashes very quickly. Also, it may just be due to my computer speed, but the audio starts to bog down and 'skip' once I get into the game a bit... are their recommended wine config settings for audio in this game?

Splash screen locks up at "Init Audio" by Justin on Thursday March 20th 2008, 15:11 I'm on Fedora Core 7 x86_64, using Wine 0.9.55 and when launching the game, it freezes when the loading bar gets to "Init Audio". Among the plethora of messages I get to the terminal from Wine, one seems relevant to this problem: "err:menubuilder:WinMain failed to build menu item for H:\.wine\drive_c\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CivilizationIV.ini.lnk" I set "AudioEnable" to 0 in the CivilizationIV.ini file, along with "EnableVoice" as the How-to said, so it shouldn't even try to "init audio" anyway. It seems that wine isn't able to follow the .lnk windows short-cut to the config file so the game can't read it. Anyone else have this problem? Should I file a bug report? [post new] [reply to this]

Can't even run setup... by cMielack on Sunday March 2nd 2008, 13:18 Hi there, somehow i can't even install CivIV on my Gutsy with wine 0.9.55/56 (tried both...). When i 'wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe' the console tells me [wine: could not load L"D:\\setup.exe": Bad EXE format for]. Yes, it really stops there and says nothing else. I tried the autorun.exe, but this only opens my windowed wine-desktop and nothing else will happen, no splash, no error, nothing. In the console it doesn't say anything either. Can anyone help?

here's all the tricks I've found collected in one post by Peter Cordes on Wednesday February 27th 2008, 14:47 There are a few tricks for getting civ4 working (well) under wine. Some of them are scattered around in different posts on this forum. I have an Athlon64 3200+ w/1.5GB RAM, and an AGP 7600GT vid card. Debian w/ wine 0.9.53. 1: the DLLs it needs: get the following DLLs (e.g. from a real winXP install), and put them in wine's c:\windows\system32 d3dx9_31.dll d3dx9_32.dll msxml3.dll msxml3r.dll Some people say you need more libraries than that, but these ones are necessary and sufficient for civ4 1.74, for me. In your wine config, tell it to use the native version of msxml3. (see other posts for how to do this.) 2: I copied my civ4 install directory from a winxp machine. If you have problems with the installer, look at other posts. You need a nocd cracked version of the executable, of course. 3: edit some CivilizationIV.ini settings. Some of the changes I made seemed to help it run more smoothly, others maybe didn't make a diff: # lowers CPU usage when nothing's happening. Definitely a useful setting, esp. with a slower single-core CPU. SetMaxFrameRate = 8 MemSaver = 1 # didn't seem to help with wonder movies stuttering HideMovieBackground = 1 # I've already seen it a few times. NoIntroMovie = 1 4: registry tweaks. Another user suggests tweaking some reg settings, which I think I did. I found the globe view had black textures unless I set the in-game graphics options to medium or low detail globe view. 5: wine + civ4 seems to run the graphics in one thread, and the music in another, or something. Without the frame-rate limit, the music always stutters. I guess it doesn't get enough CPU time. To avoid having the music stutter even when looking at a busy screen that's slower than 8fps, renice the process after it starts. Here's how I run civ4: ==================== #!/bin/bash set -m # enable job control cd ~/.wine/drive_c # I set my ondemand cpufreq governor to ignore niced processes, so: echo "don't forget to set cpufreq to full speed, since we're going to run wine niced" # or we could run wineserver at below 0 prio, and cpufreq wouldn't need tweaking sudo cpufreq-set -g performance wine Program\ Files/Firaxis\ Games/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ 4/Civilization4.exe & # maybe nice only helps if you nice the civ4 process relative to # wineserver.exe. This avoids audio skips. sleep 4 && renice 3 $(pgrep Civilization) fg ================================== I can't seem to pass command line args to civ4 properly. Or it doesn't interpret them correctly. e.g. ....exe 'mod=Mods\Desert War' doesn't work. neither does ....exe 'mod="Mods\Desert War\"' ps when civ4 restarts itself shows something like ....exe multiple 'mod=Mods\Desert War"' I have no idea what a literal double quote is doing on the command line. BTW, if you haven't played the WWII Desert War mod (as the British), do so now! I think I'm winning, but war weariness is building up horribly... [post new] [reply to this]

Audio issues by Hanni Ali on Sunday January 27th 2008, 4:28 Hi all, I have experienced an issue when loading a mod to play with Civ, loading the mod involves essentially a complete restart of the game and I have experience a loss of audio on the restart of the game I suspect this may be an issue with alsa or something not releasing the lock on the audio devices. I will test this with a couple of different versions and see which work and which don't perhaps this will help trach down the problem. The oddest thing is it works sometimes but not others.

Problem with applying patch by Zbyszek on Saturday January 19th 2008, 15:54 I cannot patch the game. How did you manage to do that? [post new] [reply to this]

Multiplayer by Hanni Ali on Friday January 11th 2008, 8:38 I have tested the hot-seat multiplayer which works fine, just a couple of issues with zooming getting confused when you one player discovers calender, but I think this is a Civ4 bug not a wine issue it used to happen on windows with Civ 4 a couple of years ago when I still had a windows install.

Excellent by Hanni Ali on Sunday January 6th 2008, 8:16 I am pleased to report this method does indeed work very well for CIV IV Complete, I had been using Cedega for the original for ages , but it wouldn't install Civ 4 Complete so I tried wine, I don't think I will be using cedega again to be honest. I did noticed one minor issue however, the City bar food and production indicators do not display correctly on my set-up, they remain empty all the time, I have to hover over them to see the progress with production. Any ideas why? Additionally, I use nVidia Twinview for my dual head set-up and when the game closes and I return to KDE I am left with only one monitor active. I use xrandr to reset this, but I think this may be a small bug with wine. [post new] [reply to this]

CivIV Complete by DirkHartog on Wednesday January 2nd 2008, 17:36 Thanks LordBeeDoO - I had been able to install with 0.9.46 (current version for Ubuntu 7.10) but the animations of resources/improvements, cities always showed up as black silhouettes. Since upgrading to 0.9.52 C4C runs flawlessly. Haven't tested multi-play yet either. There has been gathering discussion of this version on the Cedega forum and I have been pointing people there to your test results. Well done. [post new] [reply to this]

No CD by Chris Tomalty on Thursday December 6th 2007, 5:30 I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 x86 and I'm just curious as how to get the No CD things for Civilization IV and Warlords (and BTS while I'm at it). I do, of course, own legal CD copies which I have installed on Windows, but I need those cracks so I don't have to switch over all the time. [post new] [reply to this]

RE: Will not run after installation by Dimitri Vorona on Saturday November 17th 2007, 5:09 Hi Got exact the same error. Tried 0.9.44 and 0.9.45 with a dozen of no-cd patches. No idea what the issue may be. Alendit [post new] [reply to this]

How-to guide for 0.9.47 by Eike Hein on Sunday October 21st 2007, 11:31 I just got the newest version of "Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword", which is patch level 3.13, to work on Wine 0.9.47, and this is how I did it: 1. I installed Civilization 4 on Windows XP and patched it to the newest version (v1.74). 2. I installed the "Warlords" expansion on Windows XP, and patched it to the newest version (v2.13). 3. I installed the "Beyond the Sword" expansion on Windows XP and patched it to the newest version (v3.13). 4. I replaced the executables for all three with no-cd cracks found on the web corresponding to the patch level versions. 5. After rebooting into Linux, I started of with no ~/.wine and ran winecfg to set the sound driver to ALSA. Otherwise I left things unmodified; the Windows version was set to Windows 2000. 6. Next I copied over the "Firaxis Games" folder from Windows XP to ~ /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/. 7. Now I downloaded the MSXML3 installer from Microsoft, which is an msi file. 8. To install MSXML3 correctly, I had to set the Windows version in winecfg to Windows 98 temporarily[1]. I installed it using msiexec /i. 9. After installing MSXML3, I again went into winecfg and set the windows version back to Windows 2000. I also added an "msxml3" DLL override on the Libraries tab, of type "native, builtin". 10. Now I copied over the following files from my Win XP installation's system32 folder to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32: d3dx9_31.dll, d3dx9_32.dll and d3dx9_33.dll. 11. At this stage, Civ4: Warlords and Civ4: Beyond the Sword work (as far as I can tell after superficial playtesting) perfectly and with solid performance. Mods work, too. 11. To get the original Civ4 to work, I copied over msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll from the Warlords/ sub-folder of the Civ4 folder to the top-level Civ4 folder, i.e. where Civilization4.exe itself resides. Now all three games/executabls (Civ4, Warlords and BtS) work. [post new] [reply to this]
