Summary: Age of Wonders 1.36 fails to work past menu Product: Wine Version: 0.9.12. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: altkai@ml1.net
The game installs and displays the initial menu and introduction fine. On trying to enter the game proper, the game emits a dialog box with the error "Exception during MapViewer.ShowScene". Wine emits nothing to the console.
The AppDB entry doesn't mention any native DLLs required.
I have tried both using the "windowed" and "1280x1024" resolutions from within the game settings - the fullscreen resolution gives a different error message but froze X so I was unable to record it. Proceeds slightly farther when selecting "Tutorial" from the main menu.
I assume the same problem would occur in the demo. The only place I found to download the demo is on Fileplanet (registration unfortunately required): http://www.fileplanet.com/filelist.aspx?s=62692&v=0
