Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom

When installing the game on a case sensitive partition like ext4 some files need to be renamed.

The folder inside the game folder called "DATA" to "data" and file data\destruction.sg3 to Destruction.sg3 and destruction.555 to Destruction.555

On a Fat32 or NTFS there is no need to rename them.

Hello

ive been running wine 1.5.1-1 and tried to start emperor (i installed it months ago).


But it crashes with a long trace:
fixme:d3d_caps:wined3d_guess_card No card selector available for GL vendor 0x4 and card vendor 0000 (using GL_RENDERER "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)").

Hello, I tried to launch the game under ubuntu 10.10, wine 1.3.15 and can see only black screen, though sound is ok.

err:ddraw:ddraw_surface7_IsLost (0x173d88) Implementation was changed from 2 to 0
err:d3d_surface:surface_init Requested unknown surface implementation 0.

what should I do to fix it?

Are you in fullscreen mode?

Yes

Fullscreen mode has problems. Press F6 or F7 to get picture. Afterwards you should go to the options and set Emperor to be windowed.

When I tried to switch it to windowed mode by pressing f7 and f6, it persists and switches to fullscreen

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32eea0,0x00000000), stub!
err:ddraw:ddraw_surface7_IsLost (0x173e08) Implementation was changed from 2 to 0
err:d3d_surface:surface_init Requested unknown surface implementation 0.

F6/F7 won't switch to windowed mode, but it should give you picture in fullscreen mode. If it does not, make sure that any compiz/other effects are turned off. You can re-enable them after you manually set windowed mode from the options.

If it still doesn't work then check this bug:
bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19234

Download the ResolutionFix attachment there.

Replace the Emperor.inf file in your Emperor directory, which typically is:
~/.wine/drive_c/Sierra/EmperorRotMK
with the one provided so you can start the game. It
just sets the display settings to Windowed.

Thank you, resolution fix is working, but there is no sound now...

Strange, the fix shouldn't have affected sound.

Check sound options and ensure that all 4 entries are set to on and that volume is not zero. For example, I have:

"Music is ON", Volume 80%
"Speech is ON", Volume 100%
"General Sounds are ON", Volume 80%
"Ambient Sounds are ON", Volume 80%

I have the same. But actually, it's ok, i can play well without sound
