After deleting those files, i tried to run tropico (rated platinum) and it blurred out these errors at me: Code: wine Tropico.EXE err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"sfdrv01" failed to load err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"sfhlp02" failed to load err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"sfsync02" failed to load err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on SAA7134, disabling mixer wine: Unhandled page fault on execute access to 0x0054e34a at address 0x54e34a (thread 0009), starting debugger...
