hmm noone can help me? well i have to deinstall linux and reinstall Microsoft Windows,i guess linux still not ready for gaming. Cya in 5 years when linux has evolved… :’(
What I would do is get a big old external Hard Drive (just because of its portability no so much security) and download virtual box 2.0.2 (or what ever the newest is) and install Windows on there and just run it that way. I’d also put in some more RAM like a Gig or so. VirtualBox Installation - openSUSE you can use Yast like the instructions say or if you’re lazy like me One Click Install
Using Cedega is the only way I ever found to get Civ4 playing on any linux box. It cost some money,sure,but the free stuff just doesn’t work.
Civilization 4 (and all extension pack, Warlord + BtS and the new Civ4 Colonization) are running fine using Wine on my 11.0.
You will need to install DirectX redistribuable package and tweak a little Winecfg (search for some tutorial on web).
Btw, it’s an very old topic
