Sim City 3000 Unlimited trouble
I installed Sim City 3000 Unlimited for Linux in my Redhat 7.3. I then installed the latest patch from Loki's website. When I start up the software, the beginning movie will run fine with sound. If I attempt to skip the movie or let it run to the end, the screen will lock. I can tell that the game is running in the background via the sound and the reaction of the mouse cursor as I move it around the screen but I can't see anything. The screen will freeze on whatever frame of the movie it's on. I can't exit the game either, i have no choice but to restart the machine.
I've installed Unreal Tournament WITH a bunch of mods in that PC. That took a little work but it runs great. Anyone have any ideas? I'm still kind of a n00b at Linux and I'm really hoping to get this sucker running. Thanks in advance.

LokiGames doesn't do anything
I sent an e-mail to Loki Games a lot of days ago about this problem. And i'm still waiting for the answer :mad: :mad: :mad:
At least they could say "Sorry, we know about this problem and trying to patch" or "My apologies, all the programmers are on holidays now". But, no ! No answer. :mad: |

Sim City 3000 Solution
I am using SuSE linux 9.1. Of course I had the problems everyone else had with Sim City 3000 (loki). "Segmentation Fault".
Well this only came AFTER installing the patch. But after doing some playing around this is what I came up with... Install the patch. Ok, First, in a terminal window, type "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" (without the quotes). Second, type "./sc3u -w" (the -w is needed on my pc, full screen is eradic). (Again, without the quotes). And Tah-Dah... Now the only problem I am having is with sound, for some reason I get an error stating: "open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" This does not prevent the game from working, i just have no sound. I will see if i can fix this as well. (Unless someone can help me with this). Not bad for a 4 week old linux newbie... Heh Heh! |
