Summary: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri does not start at all if started from the shell Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: johan.gill@gmail.com
I have installed Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri on latest git version, and tried to run the game in two ways:
1) Choose to run the game after installation in the install dialog. This got the game working well enough to let me get bitten by the already known bugs.
2) Typing wine "C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri\terran.exe" in a shell. This causes the screen to change mode, and then change back. After that, wine exits and nothing more happens.
