Hello!
I recently just got Ubuntu 12.04 and this is my first time using any other OS other than Windows ones. I had just installed PlayOnLinux (4.0.19), set it up and went through the installation of Sims 3. After installing The Sims 3 & The Sims 3 Manager both appeared in the PlayOnLinux program as well as shortcuts on my desktop. When I tried to run The Sims 3 through PlayOnLinux I was warned about something about HTML and Gecko (which I'm not sure what that is) and when I agreed to install whatever was needed, the window closed back to the main screen of PlayOnLinux and nothing happened.
I tried launching again from PlayOnLinux but now nothing happens when I do. No loading anything, no sounds of my computer thinking, nothing. I exited out of PlayOnLinux, went back in and still nothing happened. Trying the desktop icons, still nothing.
While trying to do 'playonlinux --run "The Sims 3"' I get the following;
[POL_System_CheckFS] Message: Checking filesystem for TS3.exe
[POL_System_SetArch] Message: POL_ARCH set to x86
[POL_Wine_SetVersionEnv] Message: Setting wine version path: 1.3.4, x86
[POL_Wine_SetVersionEnv] Message: "/home/kevin/.PlayOnLinux//wine/linux-x86/1.3.4" exists
[POL_Wine] Message: Running wine-1.3.4 TS3.exe
[POL_Wine] Message: Notice: PlayOnLinux deliberately disables winemenubuilder. See http://www.playonlinux.com/fr/page-26-Winemenubuilder.html
[POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0
kevin@shadynasty:~$ wine: cannot find L"C:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\plugplay.exe"
wine: Call from 0x7b8388e2 to unimplemented function msvcr80.dll._set_abort_behavior, aborting
I went into the Manage Wine Versions menu on POL and it said that I have Wine 1.3.4 installed. I checked another thread on the forum with the same problem and they got it running after installing Wine 1.3.4 however I cannot. They also got a different message when trying to do 'playonlinux --run "The Sims 3"'
Any help on how to run this? Unfortunately this is the only game I have onhand so I cannot test another game on POL to see if it's just The Sims 3 or my POL/computer.
