Re: Space Empires with Wine
Cool. It appears that WineX eliminated the two problems I was having with Wine (overflowing text and windows that wouldnt popup), however, two more present themselves, though both I can live with.
1) Occasionly, the icons for the ships go "invisible" so you can't see them, neither when you click on where they are, or when travelling across space. This only happens occasionly, so is no big problem.
2) In my first installation, Wine let me use the patch program to upgrade to the newer Version of se4gold. But now that I'm using WineX, the patch claims that my executable is not patchable.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Have you tried reinstalling from scratch while running winex?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Yep. My original post dealt with a fresh install under wine, and my Last post was a fresh install with winex.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
probably WinE is not emulating the windows API functions SEIV is using(correctly or at all, or in the manner SEIV expects), so Id take it up with the WinE people, but they dont know a thing about SEIV I bet
Unless SEIV uses weird function calls to Windows or something... that a Windows emulator would not have at all

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Anyone know of any other windows/directx emulators that might be worthwhile to spend time downloading?
I'm enjoying playing it, but having the ship icons disapear now and then gets pretty annoying.
