LINUX USERS : CITIES XL 2011

[eu82 0]

i'm actually playing CXL2011 in ubuntu x86 and works without problems for me , except for shadows

when i try to activate them the result is a series of black dots all over the screen that appear to be random generated

and some other minor glitches......

ideaS???

by the way i'm using wine 1.36 with a 9600 GT nvidia

all mods are workin fine (with one exception: roundabouts color don't match properly with the new skimbo's road textures as they do un CXL2009 and remain just like the "stock version")

could you get it to run in mac os, crossover does not work

As you should know, I use Windows 7. Most people use windows with this because that is the only system currently supported.

im gonna try this out on ubuntu 10.10 tomorrow ill keep you all updated

That shadows glitch is not a Linux problem...

is the same error that I get when trying to use my Higher Graphic Settings mod on 2011, so maybe is a game error, linked to graphic drivers or cards.

I have fallen at the first hurdle

Sorry im a bit of a linux *****, when trying to open the .exe it tells me its blocked and it wont let me edit the permissions to excecutable!

Have installed the 2009 version on (K)ubuntu 10.10 but there seems to be an issue with the net framework 2.0 install. There is a fix for that but I haven found it yet. The issue is with the mscorsvw.exe file that crashes. A workaround is on the net nut it only works with win2k and citiesXL isn't made for win2k so i didn't try it. Anyone have a clue then please share your solution with the comunity

cheers

I used linux exclusively for a couple years but recently went back to Windows. The cons of linux for me far outweigh any minimal benefit it may bring. Awesome if you can get this game to work, and props for using linux...as far as I'm concerned, gaming and linux don't mix.

Well thats what I thought also untill I came across the project playonlinux.com. It really made life easier regarding playing games with linux and as I generally don't like shooting games etc its ideal for ppl playing stratergy games and building games like CitiesXL IMHO. Anyway I will try to install citiesxl 2011 tomorrow on a fresh linux image. Hope things work out with wine etc! I have located the issue up till now with an unstable install of network frame 2.0 in win (ofcourse its always the windows rubish that screws things up!)

update: have posted this issue on the playonlinux.com forum just to get things going. Have concluded it has to do with the net framework update from MS and that this is not compatible with the net framework patch (config) that playonlinux.com uses. If you want this worked on faster (they are not that fast on playonlinux) please support my post there. It' s in the suggestion/ideas thread under the user name Lancelot (registration is free).

ok have got CitiesXL 2011 working on linux (kubuntu 10.10) without any issues using playonlinux. Looks great. You need to activate gdiplus in you wine prefix to get it to work. Any questions just ask here or/and look at the site playonlinux.com!

good luck
