Stronghold Kingdoms

Anyone ever tried to install Stronghold Kingdoms?
It seems like a low requirment game and it runs on xp too. I tried to make it work with wine alone, PoL and finally with Lutris but failed. First time I installed it with wine it would be stuck in start loop and I found a wine patch for it so I managed to patch it and it worked. The login screen and new were working fine but once I entered the game I had a lot of graphic glitches all around the center screen (map). I uninstalled it and insalled it with Lutris in witch I managed to get the graphic to work but at really low and buggy fps. I assume its dx fault. Now idk what I did but I couldnt start the game at all later on so I removed it. I made League of Legends run fine but this game is a no-no.
Anyone have any ideas how can I make it work?
Did anyone ever make it work?

I dont understand how such a low performance game is so hard to emulate :confused:

Thank you (:wink:

Edit: I run latest Manjaro with xfce4 de.

Depending on how you acquired it, that would dictate the answer. Oddly the Steam version is not functional. Usually thats the best bet.

I just installed the steam version via WineSteam, can you help me install directx9 and vcrun2005 since I have no idea how to add a program on WineSteam.

The game is intstalled but cant be runned. It’s stuck in a start loop.

WineHQ suggests running:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application\ Data/Firefly\ Studios/Stronghold\ Kingdoms/2.0.26.1

wine StrongholdKingdoms.exe -InstallerVersion 226 de

but this wont work either. :confused:
One step at a time (:slight_smile:

welll as far as the lutris script would need is a simple pair of sections, one for dx9 and another for vcrun. Not having the game makes it hard for me to test anything I would do, but I might be able to script something up. Aside from the app from steam (duh), is it just dx9 and vcrun2005?

Should be.
Guys from #lutris @freenode told me I could install those via WineTricks. But the problem is when I Right Click the game -> Winetricks nothing happens. I runned it from console and this is what I got:

I cant use the right click winetricks either. May be a bug in this release or an incomplete feature.

Funny thing, on my other games it works :confused:
