I tried your script on both an Ubuntu 13.04 machine and Linux Mint, and it worked like a charm, thanks a lot!

However.....
Since two days Civ doesn't run anymore (on Mint), it quits with the following error:
 Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xe9fca7f3 in 32-bit code (0xe9fca7f3). (see  debug-log)

Does anyone know what is wrong?

You changed something, then. Its leading to vcrun either being removed from your virtual drive, or you changed something in general.

That error doesnt really help. We need the debug output from PlayOnLinux to check it. Post that.

Iḿ not sure what you mean with debug output from POL. Because I get the same message as the above debug-log:

[07/22/13 21:19:46] - Running wine-1.4.1 CivilizationV.exe
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xf033a7f3 in 32-bit code (0xf033a7f3).

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xf033a7f3 at address 0xf033a7f3 (thread 0009), starting debugger...

after the starting debugger part nothing happens...

Ah. I was hoping it would give us more info.

It should work, but without having more information.

can you check the installation log? Its different that the running log, and will tell us a lot.

Obviously something has upgrade/updated with Mint, and that is causing the failure.

Have you tried to simply delete the virtual drive and try to re-install it? From there, we can get that initial log, and see what it says, if it still fails.

Wish I knew how to download the file from Steam without installing it. Maybe I could use this script then. I guess I'll have to wait for a Steam install option to this script.

Yup yup. Thats the best way.

Ok so it works with Steam now, but I had some issues witht the graphics settings changing to 57Hz instead of 60, and then not letting me change back, although I fixed that issue by updating to Wine 1.6. I can confirm that it works under 1.6 perfectly, and I didn't have any issues after that, but still needs to be tested by others.

DJYoshaBYD will have top decide if it stays at 1.6 or goes back to 1.4.1

PS: I'm currently making pictures for my SimCity install script, so if you need something done for the Civ V script then you can tell me now and I'll do that as well now while I'm at it in photoshop.

Ok. I added the update. Refresh or restart playonlinux and it should be able to install the new script.

Make sure you fully remove the virtual drive from previous installation before you try this.

Does Multiplayer work for you?

I dont know. Havent tried. Feel free to test it and see if it works.

Installing now. Tks. :)

Steam failed on the first try. I killed everything and retried the script. Hopefully it was just a Steam fluke. Steam came up but very slow and gave me the bell sound that plays when it gives you an error. There was no dialog box. I did alt tab but there was nothing. Finally it let me exit. I restarted everything and the game is downloading now. I guess it was one of those weird steam flukes that crop up from time to time.

It finished but I have to get ready for something. I will test the game later tonight when I get back.

I dont know. I have noticed it a lot more recently, though, so I wonder if they changed something in their client, or if something on the Linux side is conflicting somehow.

Ok Time to test drive Civilization 5.

'Couldn't load PNG image- file is corrupted or not enough memory.' Probably not a big problem since Civ4 does that to and it runs just fine. I think it's just the icon is all. The short cut is proably just fine...Its starting...No intro video...

All my old gave are restored! Nice.

Why dose it start saying that all your units have moved when you just started a new game?

I have no clue. I havent played it much lately, and when I did, I never saw that error.

Multiplayer works, but it tends to desync :-/

How long can you play before it desync's?
