So I created a 32 bit wine prefix and then attempted to run AoE, and received the following error:err:winediag:xrandr12initmodes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.err:winediag:xrandr12initmodes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0.

Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.Does anyone have a suggested fix? It feels like years, but in the end the fixes were all to simple. It works great now.

• Age Of Empires 2 Multiplayer Lan Crack

I don't know why this info is so hard to find:-Copy the 'gamesound' directory from the CD to the installation directory. (Fixes CD not found issue, but you will still need the CD to play!)-You must start the game with the installation directory as your path. (Fixes the 'display not initialized'/directdraw error)To do this in the terminal, navigate to the installation directory before starting the game.Or just use the desktop shortcut wine generated during setup. After a lot of troubleshooting and testing, I finally got Age of Empires II to run pretty successfully on my Samsung laptop with Ubuntu 11.04 using Wine 1.2.2. I encountered and solved the following issues:1) No game CD detected.2) No sound in game.3) Choppy scrolling1) No game CD detectedDespite carefully installing AOE2 through PlayOnLinux from the CD, this error kept coming up, even after configuring Wine to look in the CD-ROM drive to run the game. Eventually I ditched PlayOnLinux and just installed the game directly through Wine using the command-line, which overcomes the 'executable-bit' problem of Wine trying to run a read-only executable on a disk.a) With the AOE2 CD inserted, open Terminal and navigate to the CD-ROM drive (the directory is called AOE2 and is located in /media/AOE2).

Run the installer by typing 'wine aoesetup.exe.' The installer will start in the Wine Program Loader.b) Click through all the steps to install the game (it's not a bad idea to make a desktop icon either so that you don't have to launch the game through the command-line each time). When the install is finished, do not start playing immediately but exit the game installer.c) Open Configure Wine by typing 'winecfg' at the command-line.

First, add the program 'empires2.exe' by clicking 'Add Application' and browsing to the program location (Program Files - Microsoft Games - Age of Empires II - empires2.exe).d) Set the Windows version to Windows XP, then click on the 'Drives' tab. Click 'Autodetect' to see if your CD-ROM drive will automatically be detected. If not, then click 'Add' and specify the path as /media/AOE2, which is where the CD is inserted.

Click 'Apply' and then click 'OK.' E) Test the CD-ROM recognition by opening Age of Empires, creating a new user, and then click on 'Single Player.' The game should allow you to choose from the single-player game options now.2) No sound in the gameAnother problem that affects Age of Empires in Ubuntu is that Wine doesn't do a very good job of utilizing PulseAudio, the default sound server for Ubuntu. Before opening the game, go to the command-line and type in 'killall pulseaudio' before starting.

Make sure you stop running any audio programs as well before opening the game.a) Once in the game (meaning playing on the map), there may still be no sound. Just open the command-line again and type in the 'killall pulseaudio' command to get your in-game sound. The sound will reboot and start playing from the beginning.3) Choppy scrolling and annoying desktop intrusionsYou may have noticed that the in-game performance is a bit weak. This can be fixed by resizing the graphics inside the game itself and by disabling 'Desktop Effects' in the CompizConfig Settings Manager under System Settings. If you do not have this manager installed, it is highly recommended you do so, so that you can make edits to the Compiz settings.a) Open the manager, select effects, and get rid of all effects except for 'Window Decoration.' This should help eliminate flickering in the game.b) In the game, select the Options button, and resize the screen to the standard 800x600 output, even if your screen is not this size. The performance will improve dramatically using this resolution, especially the scrolling.

Though it may not be the best graphics display ever, the benefits outweigh the costs in my opinion.After all this, you should have a decently-functioning version of Age of Empires in Wine on Ubuntu. I have tried run AOE2 wine (which I have installed with apt-get) and I was receiving the message that could I cannot connect (cannot join) to the game in multiplayer. I have tried the tip of DLLs in the page of game in wineappdb too.So, ok. I recompile the wine and after that the game not runs, and I received the message 'Could not initialize Graphics System. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirecDraw'.I think my tip will also work in another distribution linux and another version of wine (I was used the version 1.3.14). Hi i have a problem with the image in this game.I used Mandriva and wine -1.2 so i installed the game fine but when i run the game at the menu the game looks like this.

I thougth thta this problem is because the NVIDIA drivers are new or something so i change the drivers i used VESA but the results were the same.So after that upgrade the wine version to wine-1.3.12 at the menu was all ok with some 'glitches' but when i start a game the game these glithces are the game and AOE II looks like thisAny idea? I found that if the app is hung entering the game, you can release it from the deadlock with this workabout.I started the game up with this command:$ wine explorer /desktop=1024x768,AoE empires2.exeGo into Regicide or Random Map and set up the match. After pressing start game, the game will be hung showing the dreaded hourglass forever. When this happens open any other Wine app (e.g. When the second app has opened clicking back in the game's window should release the deadlock.I might try and debug the problem at some stage. The game runs smoothly on my rather old system with Kubuntu 10.04 and wine 1.1.42.

What I did:1. Installed the game via CD2.

Patched it to version 2.0a3. Fetched a NoCd-exe4.

Selected 'Emulate Virtual Desktop' in winecfg/Graphics as Miaz Akemapa suggested (otherwise the game crashed at startup)5. Disabled 'Desktop Effects' in Kubuntu's System Settings as this makes the mouse flickerMinor problems:1. Black font in main menu2.

Scrolling the map in the game is a bit choppyThe rest works perfectly, I have no performance issues or sound problems. Well you more then have the processor to run it, i dont know why it lagged for you.to me you could say the gameplay was fluent. Any slight roughness has to do with wine graphics, and not fps. Wine is always rough anyways.other then that. It was pretty much overall similar, or during gametime, the same as the original under XP.-under crossover games, its all good since they have a decent directx api.

However, in cxgames there is a MAJOR fps problem, so its unplayable.(i dont know what causes it, but i assume that the api is just too efficient -since it runs half-life 2 very well, for instance- and anything efficient in the windows world = trouble. Specially for windows games.)cheers. I am using openSUSE 10.3 with PulseAudio.

The game installs ok. I've been trying to play AoE2 & Conquerors on and off for some time using Crossover and vanilla Wine. Under 0.9.54 play is as good as it's ever been, but is still compromised by the slowdown that occurs when you select a building (especially town centre or castle) or a unit (especially military units).Until recently I've played using an AMD 3000 64 bit CPU and 1GB of RAM and assumed, as others have said that the problem was that for some bizarre reason this elderly Win98 era game was eating masses of power and RAM.I've now played the game on a tiny Koolu micro PC with an AMD Geode 800 processor and just 512MB RAM running Ubuntu Feisty.

To my amazement it's pretty much at the same playability state as on the vastly more powerful tower system: meaning it looks great but cannot be properly played because of the slowdown on unit selection. Anyone got round this, or any idea what the cause might be??

Perfect installation. Followed the steps given on this page correctly.

Applied the multiplayer DLL fix and the removal of that one DLL. Yet whenever I launch the game, I get the following error:'Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.' I am using Ubuntu 7.04 and I have the nVidia Accelerated Driver installed correctly and it is working. All other programs and packages are working correctly. I also have the latest Wine version (0.9.43) and have installed it correctly as well and configured it, as it too is working properly.Any suggestions?

I see this use to be a bug for this game, but it has since been labeled as 'FIXED'. If I don't get a solution though, I'm going to reopen it with my information. Thanks in advance. Hi I installed the the game today, added the no cd crack, but nevertheless I can't get it running. I always get the following errors: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 110 (SPIGETSHOWIMEUI)fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImplGetAvailableTextureMem (0x168de8): stub, simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB leftfixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImplSetCooperativeLevel (0x163810)-((nil),00000008)fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImplRelease Releasing primary stateblockAnd a popup saying that the Graphicsystem can't be initialized.I'm using Opensuse 10.2 and wine 0.9.34 On an older Suse Version it worked last year. Hi, I've added those libraries stated above, but I can't get the multiplayer runing.

I can play the singleplayer (slowly, but that's not the problem here), but when I choose the multiplayer, I can't see any LAN games. When I try to create a LAN game, no one sees me and if I click on the 'IP' button, it shows that my IP is 127.0.0.1. I've also tried Internet TCP/IP, when I create, it is the same (I have public IP and it still shows 127.0.0.1) and no one can connect to me, nor can I connect to anyone. Furthermore, I tried it with compiled hamachi.no effect. I'm using wine 0.9.32, Hamachi the latest release for linux and Fedora Core 6.What can I do to get the multiplayer running? Thanks in advance.

Its installed 20050211 cvsBut its the sound thats a problem lots of echo wich slows the game downIf you goto the games ooption and turn off the sound it plays a bit better. But the sound is good for warning etc.I noticed that glib with nptl it cut down the sound probnlem a bit. Eg:as the gqmeloads the load bar goes farther before you hear the echo. And it stops for a bit and starts again. Before when it started about have loaded it never stopedThis was a 2 ganme pack Gold Edition it has Conquerors expantion.couldn't get that to install.

OK, this is not a normal Age of Empires problem. I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the disc for both Age of empires 2 Age of Kings and the expansion, Conquerors. Age of Kings is version 2.0a, and the Conqerors edition is version 1.0c. I did have theno-Cd crack on there at one point, but I got rid of it. I also did have unofficial version 1.0e for the Conquerors, but I uninstalled the game completely and got rid of that, at least as far as I know. I have my router configured to allow port 47624 for bothUDP and TCP and I have ports 2300-2400 set the same way.

I even tried running in my router's DMZ list, and with windows firewall turned off at the same time. I have windows firewall configured to unblock the game as well. I can play Single player games justfind on Age of empires, the problem is with multiplayer.

Age Of Empires 2 Multiplayer Lan Crack

If I try to create a multiplayer game on TCP/IP setting, it freezes on the screen where it says 'Creating Multiplayer Game', and I have to ctrl-alt-del out of the game. On the LAN settings, the gamefreezes if I even click on the LAN option. I used a port checker to check port 47624 to see if it was blocked when I wasn't running age of empires, and it was free. I tried downloading Aoe 2 and the expansion on my windows 7 laptop, and both games worked fine.I have no idea what the problem is. Hi Kyle,- Do you have any third party security software installed on your computer?Since you have already tried disabling Windows Firewall, I would suggest you to temporarily disable all the third party security software on your computer and check if you can play multiplayer game.

Also you may verify if there is any security softwareon your router and try to disable it and check if you can play it. Chameleon serial killer torrent online.
