[SOLVED] Emperor, Rise of the Middle Kingdom

Hi everyone,

Congrats! This kind of projects are awesome!

I’m having issues with this fancy old game, I’m trying to install it from the GOG .exe but Install does not finish.

This is the lutris -d output

I attach also a screenshot about this install process.

I’ve used the browser and didn’t find any post referred to this game, I hope it have not been treated yet.

I’m using ArchLinux 64bits with nvidia-dkms 396.54 and the graphic chipset is a Geforce GT740.

Thank you all.

I think the most important issues are these

0009:fixme:urlmon:InternetBindInfo_GetBindString not supported string type 20
0009:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0x32fe14 (nil)): stub

Ideas?

The issue has been solved using the offline installer version from GOG.
