Multiplayer
Additional Comments
Game complains that it can't find the CD. This happens because the game looks for the CD in the Z: drive. To solve this issue run winecfg and create a Z: drive that points to the CD drive.

Page fault on 1602.exe
by Florian on Wednesday January 23rd 2013, 18:51
The page fault does not occur (at least for me) if
1)
Config.exe (-> start Game) is started instead of 1602.exe.
or 2)
the current directory is the one, that contains 1602.exe.
$ cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/some/path/ (the path where 1602.exe is found)
$ wine "C:\\some\\path\\1602.exe"
It seems to be important to use the c: symlink instead of drive_c.
Good luck :)
running anno

i installed it yesterday, no problems arose. i did try and install without the 2k/xp installer patch, and that works too, provided your wine is configured to behave like windows 98. the only problem for me was that the video playback thats trigered on ingame events like finding ore, getting attaced etc. was very buggy. every once in a while you see a video, the other times the screen turns black and you have to press esc to get back to the game. as for the game hanging every time a new audio track plays, i simply disabled music and video and have not had any lags or other issues since.

wrong registry value for cd drive
by Johannes on Wednesday September 9th 2009, 8:30
It seems to be a common problem of ANNO 1602 KE self to write a wrong value to HKCU/Software/ANNO 1602/CDROM_DIR. for instance i had a value something like Z:\media\ANNO1602_KE. just change it to a drive letter, assign that drive letter in winecfg to the cds directory and everything should be fine.
After downloading the package with dll files, untar them to your wine's windows/system32 folder. Start winecfg and add library overrides for dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx.
After setting the dll overrides in winecfg, you can play the game multiplayer as normal. be patient, some waittimes when creating games is really long.
