Slow Performance with intel graphics and CSMT enabled with vikings (de: Wikinger) extension
by Jens on Friday January 4th 2019, 2:32
I just found due to the related bug ticket and also the general performance hint page of wine that I had to disable CSMT to make Viking extension work for me. I still could start normal Settler 2 without performance impact.
To disable it you need to change registry entry

Game will not launch
by Tom on Sunday November 27th 2011, 10:19
All,

I have followed the how-to, but still can not get the game to launch. When I run "Wine S2DNG.exe", it will resize my screen, have a small window in the top left briefly with version number of the game, and then just drop. Here is the last couple of lines of the console that come up as well, don't know if that might help with troubleshooting.

My game crashed after resizing the screen, too. It worked after installing d3dx9_36 with winetricks.

Error was:

fixme:d3dcompiler:compile_shader Compilation target "fx_2_0" not yet supported
fixme:d3dx:d3dx9_effect_compiler_init Failed to parse effect, hr 0x8876086c.

However, after playing the intro video I get another error messagebox with shadow.fx, ID3DXEffectCompiler and can only abort

Problem with shadowing
by Robin on Thursday November 10th 2011, 17:34
I have installed the game and it runs ok. However when I first booted the game it looked like it couldn't find the textures, all the trees and a few other things were completely black. I played about with some of the settings and found that if I go into the game engine settings and turned the 'shadow detail' right down the trees etc display correctly.

Has anyone seen this before, could anyone suggest how I might fix this?

Im running wine 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 11.04

fglrx 10.1 + wine 1.1.38
by Szymon on Sunday March 7th 2010, 9:23
I had some pretty nasty artifacts when using fglrx 10.1 + wine 1.1.38 on ATI Radeon 4330, switching to older version of wine (1.1.37) fixed this issue. I am using alsa sound with wine and the audio sometime lags but not always, don't know why :/. The game is fully functional with or without the vikings addon using wine 1.1.37.

Game works awsome with no shadow detail.
by jim on Friday August 15th 2008, 22:25
Hey, I found if you select the graphics to low the game looks perfect. Then I figured out the shadow detail is buggering the game up by making the guys go green, ect but if you turn it off and the rest too high then have a custom graphic lay out the game works awsome. Im using a nvidia gforce 7600 512 mb fedora core 8.

Is there a fix for this problem yet?

Crazy colors
by ethnoe on Sunday July 20th 2008, 5:24
Game runs smoothly for me (polish edition with latest available patch), but colors are mixed up - settlers have green skin, buildings are too yellow. The terrain and background objects are ok. Any suggestions how to fix this issue?

Fog of war, still no solution?

I have the all known fog of war problem. It's only the upper right of the screen that shows anything at all...

Are there still no solution for this?

Don't bother telling me to use the ShowMeTheWorld cheat, as I have tried this already!

by Mirko Dokic on Sunday April 6th 2008, 14:45
If it crashes randomly saying

fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open

then go to winecfg/Audio and set DirectSound Hardware Acceleration to Emulation.

After that it never crashed for me again.

very bad on 865G
by event on Saturday March 15th 2008, 8:23
Hello,

I have some mess with Gentoo and Intel 865G graphics. It installs and runs. But when it comes to a game half of the screen is black and on the other half there is some color mess instead of good picture. Looks like something with OGL. Checked glxinfo - looks fine. At least direct rendering is enabled.
Could someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Fog of war on three thirds of the screen
by Dominik on Tuesday January 15th 2008, 7:03
Hy,
after I star tthe game in normal mode there is fog of war on the whole screen. If I use the "showmetheworl" cheat I get the normal screen in the upper left quadrand of the screen, on all other three quadrants the fog of war remains.

I got a Intel 945GM using Debian unstable and wine 0.9.53.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Mouse & Sound problems
by Georg Hennig on Thursday September 6th 2007, 8:12
Hi,
I would like to write a few comments:

- The installation issue can be solved by pressing "Alt+Tab"

- Here no need to download msvcr71.dll, it's inside program's bin directory

- No need to download d3dx9_29.dll, it's inside Support/DirectX/Feb2006_d3dx9_29_x86.cab on the CD (you'll need cabextract and then copy the dll to system32 folder)

- Sound "stutters", you can get around this by "nice -20 wine ..." (stutter frequency then is only once every few seconds or so)

- Mouse pointer flickers (in the menu only when moved, during gameplay all the time). I have no solution for this one. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks
Georg

Fog of War Updates
by Nikita on Wednesday July 18th 2007, 10:46
With Wine 0.9.40 and GeForce 5200, fog of war updates only in south west quadrant of the screen. But you can remove fog of war completely. to do this, press enter, and type "ShowMeTheWorld", and press enter again.

I did get game it self working quite well. Everything else works just fine, but graphics have something wrong. I get this error when I try play the game. It shows like almost everywhere is "fog of war" on and it doesn't disappear. Only little area shows right.

fixme:d3d:handleStreams Tangent and binormal bump mapping is only valid with vertex shaders
fixme:d3d_texture:IWineD3DTextureImpl_ApplyStateChanges Non-power2 texture being used with generated texture coords

Do anybody know how to fix this.

ps.

I think this happens because I have ATI 9800 pro.

I don't have a nocd crack for the original game - I own the original and the 10th anniversary edition. Didn't find a nocd for settlersII, only for the anniversay remake, have to search a bit more I think.

Now SettlersII anniversary seems to work, but it doesn't work because I own an ATI card...

How did you get the installation working?

The installation switches to fullscreen after entering the serial number but only displays the background image. I can't access the dialogue to choose the directory and continue the installation.

I'm using wine-0.9.29 on a Debian "testing" machine using a 2.6.18-3-amd64 kernel.

Any help will be appreciated.

Ok, I disabled the option to let the window manager control the windows and then I could see the installation window and install the game, but I just can't get it working.

Neither the new game nor the old version of Settlers II (German) works for me.

I even tried a NoCD crack but still now luck:

# wine Siedler2.exe
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin Siedler2.exe ...
Wine failed with return code 1

Is there anything I need to configure/install?

The old game has also a copy-protection. If you don't have a NoCd-Crack it will not work.
