Linux Woes

[rocker289 75]

I know it's old but it should not matter.

I have an HP Pavillion (Bios is from 2012)
I have my video card dialed in (Nivdia 740 2 gigs memory on board)
The PCIE slot is rated for 3x (not the problem with bandwith)
I have 16 gigs of system memory(DDR3@1600 mghz)
And have the correct Video driver for linux,

 

The os is Bodhi 5x64 (Compiled with Debian,ubuntu)

Yes I have  Cpu-1 (GOG does this on install)
Plugins are about 3gigs(Datapacked).
I have NAM 37(love it)
I use PlayOnLinux 4.3.4 (It's the latest release)
And wine 3.20

I patched my "SimCity 4.exe in a windoze machine.
Yes I think that worked(Happy,Happy,Joy,joy)

This is not a new install

I found no help from YouTube, Google, ubuntu or reddit all a fruitless waste of time,
all they tell you to do is buy a AMD_Radion video card(some help Eh)

Or do I need to install the vulcun driver(nvidia)?

This is what I want to fix  (ACCES_VIOLATION)

It seems that the system won't let SimCity 4.exe Use more than 4Gigs of ram
I never had this problem on win7x64(that had only 4 gigs of system ram with Nivdia 740 2 gigs on board)

If a command line will fix this Please Enlighten me,
I am at the end of my wits.
Will a reinstall will fix this?

Too Many CTD's(ACCES_VIOLATION)

Sorry I can't help up until the end of last week I was using Linux Mint 19.3 (64-bit version) and having no problems with SimCity4 (Steam), SimCity3 or Banished (GoG via CrossOver Linux), but I bit the bullet and after carefully reading the instructions on how to install Linux Mint 20 (64-bit version Cinnamon Edition) went ahead and did the upgrade .... all went very smoothly and didn't lose anything and everything has started up and looks ok, but so far I've only played Banished.

Thank you for the response CrossOver's price is not in the finances

I just think I'll dust off a hard drive and dual boot

Might be worth trying the 14 day free trial version of it, if SimCity works ok on it, then you know the problem has to be with PlayonLinux (or Wine) settings

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

Just in general computing terms the ACCESS_VIOLATION is generally caused by the program not having permission to address the memory its trying to access. In a windows system this is handled by giving the program 'Admin' rights. This being a linux install I'm not sure how the error would be translated between the systems. The minidump does show that the game thinks its runing on XP level system (NT5.1) but this would not by itself allow admin access. Is there any way to set the permission level of the game inside the Wine/PoL systems?

Seeing how none of that actually helps maybe someone should just invoke the name of @Handyman to draw the attention of the site's linux department.

[rocker289 75]

I played around with "WINE_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1"

And bingo it runs with Admin rights

Thank you for the advice everyone

[rocker289 75]

One Day I will grow up

Thank  you for all the insight

I would like to know if switch 64bit wine would it fix my new problem ?

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

The switch to 64bit Wine would probably help with the RAM issue, but I reckon that is down to the settings that Wine is configured to give a program. A 4Gb limit in a 32 bit environment is entirely resonable as 32 bit address structures can't see that much.

 

As to the graphics card mis-report, does it actually have an effect on in game play?

If not I would be seriously tempted to forget about it and chalk this up to different cards sharing drivers and this leading Wine into mis-representing the card ID handed to the game.

Thank you for the reply

Have you tried the Graphics Rules editing described in How to configure SC4 to work with your new hardware?

[Raymond7cn 6,772]

Hiya @rocker289, Cori's word reminds me of this post that along with dealing with my issue, i have tried DDRAW.dll(directx 7.0) for WINE in Windows,

If you couldn't find it out, Just PM me, I can share this file to you, I'm not very good at Linux, Just used to play with Ubuntu a while, Dimly remember that have tried a software "cedega" which could run many classic old games in Linux with my Nvidia Graphics. Hope it helps.

Sincerely,

-- Raymond

[rocker289 75]

I have done all sc4 card thing in all the right places

but I still have i problems

Wine widows and the reg

All things are running as admin

But it still crashes giving the same **s

I'm going to dump 386

And try 64 bit only

Cross thy fingers

And thank you all for help

If does not work

It's double boot  Linux on one drive   

And  Windbarf x64 on another drive

Thank you all for doing all you can to help me
