What works

Installation and finishing the game till the victory end was ok almost out of the box.

What does not

Intro videos change resolution which then does not return back to normal and makes it impossible to play. To solve an issue you need to add line:

PlayIntro=0

into file:

Infogrames Interactive/Civilization III/Civ3PTW/ptw.ini

If the file does not exist then you need to create one.

Multiplayer Mode
by Michael Mizer on Wednesday March 4th 2009, 14:42
I have version 1.1.16 of Wine installed. Single player works perfectly fine for PTW, but I cannot get any multiplayer mode to work (i.e. Hot Seat, Play By Email, etc). As far as playing online is concerned, I can find other hosted games, but once I join wine crashes. When trying to set up a Hot Seat game, I can't even get the pull down menus to work. Why am I having these issues?
