How to get Civ 3 running...

[Tom Morton]

Apparently it is possible to run Civilization 3 under wine, but i'm having
no luck. It installed fine, but won't run. With recent CVS winex i get:

[~/.wine/c_drive/civ3]$ wine Civilization3.exe

fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE ignored
fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored
err:int:INSTR_IDT_Emulate Evil attempt to exploit win9x system security flaws detected
err:int:INSTR_IDT_Emulate UNIX system security is too strong, can't emulate properly
fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD SICE. Try --winver nt40 or win31 !
fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD SIWVID. Try --winver nt40 or win31 !

It doesn't work with --winver nt40 either.

And with the debian "wine_0.0.20011108-2_i386.deb" build i get:

[~/.wine/c_drive/civ3]$ wine Civilization3.exe 
fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE ignored
fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock

Then a message box pops up titled "A debugger has been detected", stating
"Unload the debugger and try again". And it quits.

My system is a progeny debian rc-1 system, glibc 2.2.4, xfree86 4.1.0,
kernel 2.4.13 with preemptible kernel patch. Winex was compiled with gcc
3.0.2.

Thanks.
