Selected Test Results

What works

Movies, sound, general gameplay, switching resolution, 1920x1080 resolution patch.

What does not

Fullscreen glitches by default, but that may be due to a resolution unsupported by my monitor and/or GPU.

The game still shows, on a glitched desktop, and after changing the resolution, works as intended.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Nothing.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: Nvidia
  • Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

Once using a more modern resolution, the game runs fine. The issue is seemingly not Wine related, but is due to the old age of the game.

Repeated "page fault on write access" issue
by Jake Grey on Thursday November 30th 2017, 12:23
Exact error message: Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x7c002fd4 in 32-bit code (0x7d5346da).

I'm on Lubuntu 17.10 and wine 2.0.3. Is there a simple fix like adding some missing 32-bit libraries or going over to the development branch, or should I file a bug report?

Widescreen patches
by Kevin on Tuesday March 22nd 2016, 18:02
Has anyone managed to run the widescreen patches (www.wsgf.org/dr/cleopatra-queen-nile/en) with the gog version on wine?

I tried both with and without "emulate desktop". I simply overwrote the executable "Pharoah.exe" in the game folder with the widescreen-patched one [after backing up the original], but to no avail. Tried with several different resolutions.

Anyone managed to get it working?

Turns out I had missed an in-game option (not in the menu, but in an ongoing game) to swap resolutions. It needs to be set to 1024*768 in order for the widescreen patch to kick in.
