Just discovered an odd issue, if you copy save games from win to linux the game will CTD if you try to load any of them, nothing major, but can still be good to be aware of.
You must install msvcrun2005sp1 and start the game via v2.exe
This really does not work for me. Launcher works fine, but the game (v2game.exe) bails with this:
fixme:actctxarse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.762)
fixme:actctxarse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.762)
err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Paradox Interactive\\Victoria 2\\v2game.exe" failed, status c0000142
message regardless of the method of starting it (directly or via launcher). I've tried all methods I could think of to install it none work, would someone please post _complete_ instructions on how to install everything properly (as none of the instructions currently explain how to get dotnet without using either the installer provided with the game or using winetricks).
mv ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msvcr80.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msvcr80.dll.bak
Hi everyone, I have a little problem.
I followed all the instructions of Kliwarrior and, after several attempts, I managed to get the game started.
I chose "single player", then the Country and I click on play. It starts loading the game and only at this point I receive the message from Wine that there is a problem and the game can not start.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
PS: I am a rooky with Linux (Ubuntu 10.010 Maverick Meerkat), so please explain everything step by step, so that I avoid making stupid questions... :-(
Did you read this post as well? I had a similar problem before I did.Come on guys, any ideas???
Little update.
I still have to investigate, but wine.1.3.3 (on maverick 10.10 beta) I had to use the quartz.dll and devenum.dll from a true win installation. :wacko:
Oh well, not a big deal....
