[HELP] Running Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars

I’m attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD’s, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:


<span style="color:#323232;">wine: RLIMIT_NICE is &lt;=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">All processes have quit
</span>

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it’s available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they’re pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.

undrwater OP ,

I got more info with increased verbosity:

wine client error:150: write: Bad file descriptor 01a8:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lirsgt": c0000142

A little searching found that this is a copy protection file. Interesting because I copied the disc’s files to a directory and installed from there. Wondering if installing from the discs themselves would fare better.

You can check if there is any dependency in the lutris version that you may have to install too.
lutris.net/games/spellforce-2-shadow-wars/
You also can run your program using a verboser method since the returned code 0 means the program had run successfully so it’s tricky wiki.winehq.org/Debug_Channels

undrwater OP ,

Thanks! Increasing verbosity should be useful.

I’ll post back when i try that.
