Hey, the title pretty much says it all.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. I installed PlayOnLinux via the download instructions on the site. I went to install, chose AoE 3, mounted my ISOs. Everything appeared to install fine (including the patch). Afterwards, I *cough* put in a no-cd crack *cough*, so I could run it...but unfortunately it won't run. The program goes to the splash screen, then quits.

Wine: 1.1.42
Gnome Desktop

Anyone have information or need information for this?

Thanks in advance

Edit:

Okay, something new happening...
It's the next day, so this could have come about via a restart (who knows?), but now the game loads and gets to the part where it says something like "XML error loading Fonts2.xml". I know I've seen people talk about this before, so I'm off to google. Just thought I'd update here. If anyone has the answer in their head, don't be afraid to let me know :D

Thanks guys

Edit 2:

Well, I fixed it. Visit my thread on ubuntuforums for how:
