When I attempt to start the M$ Age of Mythology game (Gold Edition) I get an error message that says: "Cannot create log file, please make sure that you have full rights on the directory that you installed Age of Mythology into, and that you have available disk space. Error access denied."
Does this prevent the game from starting?
Yes. The modal dialog box appears and the game ends when "ok" is selected (only button choice).
Things I've tried:
- clean install .. no previous wine version
Did you move aside your old ~/.wine directory as well?
Of course. :)
when I start the trial, my entire X windows (GDM) restarts.
This is probably due to a buggy video driver.
See below - I believe it is differences between i686 and amd64 distros.
Any help resolving this issue is appreciated. If you need any logs, etc. please let me know.
maybe a +file log: WINEDEBUG=+file wine aom.exe > aom_log.txt 2>&1
It took a while (the reason for delay in responding to your questions), but I created the exact same setup (same deb packages) on a i686 debian distro version (vs. amd64) and the AOM trial version WORKS as expected (although I have mouse issues - but that's a different problem). I used the same computer with different disk drive, to eliminate any hardware differences (I have an Intel chipset that can run as 32bit or 64bit). Thus, I'm fairly convinced that differences between the distros are the issues.
For Xorg: X Window System Version 1.3.0 Release Date: 19 April 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3 Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12lenny2)
I use the on-board graphics controller: (--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller rev 2, Mem @ 0xfdf00000/19, 0xd0000000/28, 0xfdf80000/18, I/O @ 0xff00/3
I'll post a log file.
Severity is not major, please read the descriptions more carefully.
Ok.
