The Settlers 3 and the aLobby work without major issues only with the following Wine versions* (as of 2024-08-05):
* tested versions were usually the "Staging" versions
Below is a list of versions known to cause major problems:
This game requires much more processing power than it should, so unless you are using a relatively fast computer, it may run slowly (Bug 32478 and Bug 38169).
The used graphics card may also be of importance here: with NVIDIA (binary driver) the game is the fastest on Linux, with INTEL the slowest.
A workaround which makes at least the lag occurring every few seconds go away, is to start Settlers 3 on 1 CPU only with:
taskset -c 0 wine S3.EXE
If you want to play online using the aLobby, you have to start the aLobby the same way:
taskset -c 0 wine alobby.exe
Hint: taskset is only available on Linux, not on macOS
Only applicable to old Wine versions (< 8.0):
