Question

Played this before the fix. Since then i got rid of pc and went to high end mac. Anybody runs this on crossovers or wine

[sanch]

I tried, without success on ubuntu linux 20.04 LTS with latest wine. But I did not spend much time trying to fix things.

It installed and started ok, but the main window was tiny. I did get the main window to properly resize, but then the map and other graphics were garbled or missing.

I suspect the main problem was the program uses old custom graphics routines of some sort, which appear to be not-well-supported by wine.

Good luck!

Maybe so. This game was built using Borland C++Builder, updated to CodeGear in 2007. I am literally using the CodeGear IDE/complier that's 14 years old now, and users need to set Windows compatibility to WinXP SP2. I don't know about using Mac and wine, but perhaps there are some compatibility settings you guys can experiment with that might maybe work. I don't know. Perhaps someone here has gotten it to run OK and can provide some helpful guidance. It's all I can do to keep this old game running on Windows, and who knows what monkey wrench Win11 may throw at us next. Good luck!
