HowTo / Notes

Online Multiplayer

You may have difficulty joining online multiplayer games.  To resolve this, read this article from the FAQ.

Cursor Bug

There is a cursor bug that can:

  • Cause the mouse buttons to not do what you expect; or
  • Cause a transparency problem with the cursor; or
  • All of the above

To work around this, edit the rise2.ini file (~/.wine/drive_c/users/{user}/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Thrones and Patriots Trial/rise2.ini) and set "ForceGDICursor=1".

Please report if you had to do this when submitting reports.

MSXML4 Issues
by Phil on Friday July 27th 2018, 23:01
Up until today, I had all but given up hope on EVER playing this game again (I will never use windows as a primary again :) )

MSXML4 has been the bane of my existence with this game, nothing i did would fix it

wine version 2.22 Staging
OS = Windows XP / Windows 7 (in the end i set it to Windows Vista

Yes, it works!

Everything works fine. But with some notes.
I'd used wineprefix linked with separated directory. Before installing I executed next commands:

export WINEPREFIX="my/home/dir/my/game/dir"
wineboot -u

Then I installed everything wine wants (mono and gecko)

winetricks sound=pulse
winetricks directx9

winecfg

In opened window, section libraries, I removed all overrides. Then:

winetricks directmusic

cd dir/with/rise.exe
wine rise.exe

And it works! Cursor and sound too.
Thanks!

I did a LAN game with by brother.

If the installer doesn't work, you can copy the game files and export registry information from another computer. Just be sure to change any file paths in the exported registry file.

I used a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" amd64.
A fresh copy of Wine 1.9.6
And a fresh copy of Winetricks
The date is March 30th, 2016.

Using winetricks I installed the following .dlls:
dx3dx9 MS d3dx9_??.dll from DirectX 9 redistributable. (To get the ingame menu working)
directmusic (To get sound working)
dsound (Im unsure if this one was necessary)
directplay (To get networking working)
vcrun6 (For the installer to work, i believe)
vcrun6sp6 (For the installer to work, i believe)

The rest of the .dlls were automatically selected by winetricks.

I then updated the rise2.ini file to include SkipIntroMovies=1 and ForceLowCPUBackgroundVid=1

After forwarding the necessary port on the router(Default:34987), I was able to connect the the game my brother was hosting.
I have no idea if my computer would be able to host a game.

directplay is REQUIRED to host a multiplayer game.

LAN game
by hynner on Friday June 5th 2015, 12:34
If LAN game doesn't work for you upgrade to wine >= 1.7.41, there was a bug fixed in that version that was causing some problems in RoN.

bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20041

I can confirm that LAN game works fine with version 1.7.43 even over hamachi. In fact the whole game works just fine (I had to install mfc40, mfc42, msxml4 and possibly directplay).
