I first applied the patch for 1.29f and then copied the Civilization3.exe from the Civilization 3 PC Games Patch ohne Conquest von v1.21f (d).zip into my directory. It now works on the old MacbookPro with Lubuntu 16.04, although I have not been testing longer term.Ī good page for finding patches relating to different versions of the game is this: (Civ3).Ī summary of patches including an official NoCD-patch is in the downloadlink at the bottom of the page here. This is labeled "garbage" on WineHQ but with older versions of WINE. My game is a German one, probably version 1.16. It does also not work on my Acer Aspire One D270 with Lubuntu 14.04, I think because of lacking DirectX-support, although there is no message in terminal (as in the Shuttle case).
On my Windows 10 PC I wanted to continue a Civilization 3 game (Civ 3 Commplete.
Probably a graphics card/driver issue (after the NoCD-patch is applied the /dev/sg0-messages are gone). Civilization 6 is free now on the Epic Games Store until next week. It does not work on my Shuttle Barebone PC with two Apple cinema displays hooked to it. On a Laptop (MacbookPro8,3 from 2011, Lubuntu 16.04) with built-in drive the game works out of the box. My error messages probably referred to the USB-CD/DVD-Drive I used. For some reason, that doesn't seem to be working properly on your setup."

('keine Berechtigung' means 'no permission') This is the output when using terminal to run: Since it is a game that would run under Windows XP I suspect there need to be adjustments - maybe using winetricks. I wonder which setup should be used for Civ. This is weird because the Editor that is also inclueded in the game does work.
