------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts@telusplanet.net 2005-05-11 11:42 ------- This is not a duplicate of bug 2075. Sim City has its own version of MSVCRT.DLL that is used to display "Simoilians". I had the same problem in Feb 2003.(see Bug 1257) The problem then (and now) was that wine does not use the dll from the programs directory.
A MSVCRT.DLL copied from a windows installation (Windows/system) did not solve the problem then nor does it solve it now.
This is a recent phenomena and is not a duplicate of bug 1257 but a re-occurance of the same problem.
In general terms wine is doing the wrong thing by ignoring the dlls in the programs directory. (This is not what windows does) Also it appears that lotus notes has the same problem)
For now the workaround is to use winecfg to override this for now.
