Hi. I can't get AoEII running under Wine (9.0.37 or something to that effect? The latest one anyway..)

It gets into the menu, then when i try to load a learn to play map, it crashes back to desktop but the in-game music is still heard in the background (even though there are no wine/aoe related processes listed in the system monitor).

I can't test any other modes because even though my CD is in the drive it thinks I do not have a CD..

Here is a console output:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000008 in 32-bit code (0x7e7eaeae).

I haven't been able to get AOE2 to run on wine or cedega, I think there is just something it calls for that isn't supported yet but if I am wrong, I would love to know how its working .... I played that game on a friends windows machine and bought it (thinking it was old enough that wine wouldn't have a problem running it) and haven't been able to get it going yet.... thus i stick to blizzard titles.

Starcraft and WarCraft3 are wonderful :)

No.. says on winehq that some people have got it running.

It probably needs IE or some other related component. I suspect that the install and loading screens use some kind of hta thing.

Is there a possibility I can try installing IE?

What is the actual problem?
If you can install it, try cd in terminal to the games directory (supposedly Age Of Empires II) and type wine empire2.exe

Thats how I got it to run.

Good luck!

Hi all.

I have a problem with running my aoe2. The installation is okay, but when i run the game, it shuts down and comes up the a box which says:
"Could not initalize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw".

i don't understand this, cause it is a new computer, and it has all this things it needs to run it.

Please help me.
Greetings

Hi. I can't get AoEII running under Wine (9.0.37 or something to that effect? The latest one anyway..)

It gets into the menu, then when i try to load a learn to play map, it crashes back to desktop but the in-game music is still heard in the background (even though there are no wine/aoe related processes listed in the system monitor).

I can't test any other modes because even though my CD is in the drive it thinks I do not have a CD..

Here is a console output:

Hey guys, My dad ran Age of Empires II using wine, but the problem is that it was so slow that the game wasn't even play-able. So it is "possible" to run it... just don't expect anything grand.
If you hear anything more on it, let me know cause I would like to play it too!

I used to have the same problem but then I tried a couple of things and made it run without any problems.

Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what made it work. Try to change wine's config so that it emulates an older version of windows, like 98 or XP. Or enable Graphics > Emulate a Virtual Desktop

When I ran Windows I had the same problem. When I had the problem in Windows I would minimize the game and then un-minumize nd the colors would be correct.

I wonder if the same work around would work in Ubuntu?
