 |
|
I'm trying to run exile III ruined world, and blades of exile and get the following:
Unhandled exception: assertion failed in 32-bit code (0xf7753c80).
I have 16 bit configured in the kernel:
CONFIG_X86_16BIT=y
uname -a :
Linux b5400 3.18.11-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 19 11:37:26 EET 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
thanks |

Are you running this under dosemu? Might want to also try in a virtual machine with qemu, or possibly with dosbox?

If I recall correctly operating in 64bit mode results in being unable to execute 16bit OP
--edit--
when running in Long Mode (x64 native), the CPU itself doesn't support going into 16 bit mode.

sorry about that, I forgot to mention I was running under wine
I would rather not install a virtual machine, I remember I have been able to get 16 bit games running before |

If it is a 16bit game, it is surely a DOS game, isn't it?
If so, don't bother with wine, use dosbox instead. It should be able to handle it.

Which version of Wine (recommended to use the latest development release, which is 1.7.46 at the time of writing) and which version of Exile III?
I thought I remembered testing these out not so long ago, and indeed, just tried EXILE III: Ruined World v1.0b and it runs just fine here! ^^
I guess I should mention kernel version as well: 4.0.5-ck
I don't remember which kernel version(s) I last tried these games with, but it was definitely after the mentioned problem surfaced... I think.
As a sidey-note, Wine automagically uses DOSBox for games that it's better for.
