Additional Comments

Maciej Warnecki summarized the fixes for this game; including my fix for the font problem (Posted in other SoaSe version here). ------------------------------------------------------- Fixes for all bugs/errors I had and are now gone: 1) Problem: Installers stops with: "Runtime Error (at-1:0): Cannot Import dll:c\windows\temp\is-C4R6D.tmp\isskin.dll." error Fix: Install "mfc42" package through winetricks and retry. 2) Problem: Proper resolution/refresh rate cannot be set within the game Fix: Resolution/refresh rate needs to be set manually using a config file "user.setting" found in: /home/username/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/Setting/ These are the lines You are looking for: VideoRefreshRate VideoFullScreenWidth VideoFullScreenHeight edit them to be appropriate for Your screen. PS.: It may be also necessary to edit "diplomacy.user.setting" after it is created (after running Diplomacy first). Just edit it as with user.setting. Weird - there is no "entrenchment.user.setting" file. 3) Problem: Fonts are displayed incorrectly, too big, etc. Fix: 1. In the game's directory inside de "Font" folder are 3 .ttf files, you have to copy to your local font folder and in a terminal run: fc-cache -fr ~/.fonts 2. Using a terminal enter the game's Font directory and run: sed 's/SinsAgencyBold/AgencyFB-Bold/g' -i.bak *.font 4) Problem: Game intermittently crashes/hangs. Fix: Lower graphics settings. I have read (and checked it myself) that lowering the settings in Graphics menu to High or lower (no Highest) should stop these crashes/hangs. Note: "Planet detail" can still be set to 'Highest', though. This is the only exception.
