Hello I hope maybe one of you may be able to help. I used to play settlers 3 all the time and loved it. I have bought subsequent games but none of them were as good as settlers 3 (in my opinion) i have tried to install the game but get a message saying 'siedler3 has stopped working' I am running vista and i am a complete muppet with regards to computers. If you can help me could you please repy as if you were talking to your gran or grandad because i am a little bit slow on the uptake. I have download a patch but have no idea what to do with it, (do i drag and drop it somewhere?) i have right clicked and tried to run as administrator (no joy) and various other things suggested on this forum. I would be very greatful if you could help.
I also realized that this game had done away with the need to build roads, like in the Settlers II, which took away some strategy but also some headaches for.
Regards Yanto (old timer).
Hello this is a very old post by i rediscover this game in my drawer;-) i try to use this script to launch my 'The Settlers III' which is not the 'Gold edition' but it fails. I use Mageia 5 with Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz with a NVIDIA card G72 GeForce 7200 GS / 7300 SE the DirectX present on the CD-ROM is DX6CORE.EXE i have on the CD-ROM 2 setup. Which one should i use?/S3F160CD1/S3/SETUPS3.EXE -/S3F160CD1/S3/INSTALL/SETUP.EXE and of course an autorun./S3F160CD1/S3/AUTORUN.EXE any help is granted Replies. This is awesome! I actually wanted to start POL scripting myself just to do this, but now you beat me to it;). I also like that you offer choosing an arbitrary file.
However, I think one still needs an option for the GOG version since that adds another executable that should be used. If used like this, the game always asks for the CD-Key after it started even if it was always entered before. Also, I think these days most people can run 1024x768 and so I would suggest to add that to the registry fix. Now the only thing I'm missing is getting rid of the other movies so that I can play the mission. (That seemed to be less a problem for me with the latest 1.5 version of wine by the way.) I don't have time to test the modifications right now, but I will try to add them later if you don't mind or are faster than I.
About 1024x768 resolution - I tested this with my S3 copy, but it doesn't work. 800x600 looks ok.

It's a xrandr command problem, sooo it should work on another computers, but with no warranty. For me 1024x768 works correctly with wine 1.3.12 (or new to 1.5.7 version). Newest version of wine have regression of bug 31245 (WineHQ Bugzilla). So, can I create a 'multi-version' prefix of Wine? Explain: If select 640x480 or 800x600 - create 1.7.21 prefix, if select 1024x768 - create 1.3.12 (or other to 1.5.8).
