If you run this from command line like this: Prompt:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/x/wine_tr3demo" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\Kalypso\\Tropico\ 3\ Demo\\Tropico3\ Demo.exe And you get this: fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f384,0x00000000), stub! fixme:imagehlp:ImageLoad (C:\Program Files\Kalypso\Tropico 3 Demo\Tropico3 Demo.exe, (null)): stub fixme:dbghelp:elf_search_auxv can't find symbol in module fixme:faultrep:ReportFault 0x32f87c 0x0 stub Then you should change the directory to the directory where the Tropico 3 is installed and then run the above command. In winedcfg the I set the Graphics panel I set emulate virtual desktop and set its size to 1024x768. I have the following dll overrides since the demo install has overwritten several files in the windows system32 directory during install. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides] "d3dx9_41"="native,builtin" "X3DAudio1_2"="native,builtin" "X3DAudio1_3"="native,builtin" "X3DAudio1_4"="native,builtin" "X3DAudio1_5"="native,builtin" "X3DAudio1_6"="native,builtin" "XAPOFX1_0"="native,builtin" "xapofx1_1"="native,builtin" "XAPOFX1_2"="native,builtin" "XAPOFX1_3"="native,builtin" "XAudio2_0"="native,builtin" "XAudio2_1"="native,builtin" "XAudio2_2"="native,builtin" "XAudio2_3"="native,builtin" "XAudio2_4"="native,builtin" "xinput1_1"="native,builtin" "xinput1_2"="native,builtin" "xinput1_3"="native,builtin" "xinput9_1_0"="native,builtin" Having the d3dx9_41 override is important. (I am not quite sure about the others since I have not tested the game without them in wine 1.3.19. If I remeber well in wine 1.3.18 the game worked without the other overrides as well.) In the Direct3D section I have the following settings: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi" "Multisampling"="enabled" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "RenderTargetLockMode"="readtex" "StrictDrawOrdering"="disabled" "UseGLSL"="enabled" I think most of the cases these are the default settings, so maybe you don't need to set them up at all.
