It doesn't. Case in point is my spare late 00's laptop running mint and early 00's / late 90's games. Some (Age of Wonders 1) don't work at all under wine/proton. Others (Age of Wonders SM, dosbox games, Majesty) technically work but keep hitting snags like midi just flat out not working, display resolution being read and set incorrectly, visual artifacts. Everything tested worked perfectly fine under Win7 and Win10.
- int_19h 11mo agoAge of Wonders 1 used to work. That patch that you need to get it running on Win10+ was originally made for Wine: https://aow.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=st&fn=1&tn=4694 https://aow.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?actio... Is that not sufficient these days? I might take another look; this is one of those games that I intend to keep running one way or another until I die.
- krige 11mo agoIt isn't I'm afraid. I'll see if I get any crash log or report that could help later in the evening.
- krige 11mo agoAight so when using Wine, AoW1 just instantly fails silently upon launch, no error message to see. When using proton it technically works - clicking randomly I launched the tutorial, judging by the sounds - but the screen is black all the time and shutting down alt-f4 it throws an error: Exception EWin32Error in module VCL30.dpl at 00010E4F Win32 Error. Code 1400. Invalid window handle.
