Ok, reinstalled Civ. Not installed the expansions yet, going to see if we can get the base game working first. Log from starting it in console: Code: warkirby@magotek-alpha:/media/Drive X/Games/Sid Meier's Civilisation IV(LINUX)$ wine Civilization4.exe fixme:service:QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x1331f0 4 0x133760 0 0x32eeb8 - semi-stub fixme:service:QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x1331f0 4 0x133760 28 0x32eeb8 - semi-stub fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x32ee48 0x133774 0x32eeb4 fixme:service:SetServiceObjectSecurity 0x1331f0 4 0x32ee34 fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 55 (SPI_SETMOUSEKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS) fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_CreateIconFromANI Loading all frames for .ani cursors not implemented. fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx (L"Z:\\media\\Drive X\\Games\\Sid Meier's Civilisation IV(LINUX)\\assets\\res\\fonts\\sylfaen.ttf", 0, (nil)): stub The initial loading floater appears, but the engine never seems to initialise, and it terminates silently before the main menu comes up. Any idea what's wrong here? it looks like a font issue now, so I tried installing Corefonts through winetricks, but that hasn't helped
