Settlers 3 Forum

I have installed The Settlers III on Ubuntu 12.04 with Cinnamon as DE, applied 1.60 patch and XP exe.
The game run slow also on small map 1 vs 1, PC have good hardware (vga is nvidia 9500 GT), tried crossover 11.3 and 12.0.
Seem not need installation of other things, I also tried install directx modern but no change.
Someone can tell me what another things to try and if you need other details
and logs?
Thanks for any reply and sorry for bad english.

The last time I tested this game it ran at a decent speed. It used to have crappy performance, but the DIB engine helped a lot. I think I had to force the game to run on one CPU only, otherwise synchronization bugs in the game that are uncovered by having two or more CPUs cause problems. You can do that with taskset from the command line, or you can disable CPU cores in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online .

thanks for reply, tried to disable HT in bios and all core except cpu0 but not solve the problem, there are other tweaks that I can try?

Try setting the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer = "gdi" . If you don't know how to do this I can provide step by step instructions.
