Civilization III: Complete Forum

I've been trying to run Civilization III: Complete through Steam but every time it runs it crashes saying Error loading font (Error Code: 13)!! Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue. What fonts do I need to make this work? Anyone?

Hi,

This search result might be worth reading through - apparently not just problematic with wine, but also windows ;

There's also some info on this over at wineHQ that may or maynot be useful;

Okay, I've fixed this problem. In "[Bottle]/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/sid meier's civilization iii complete/Conquests" (apparently; I haven't checked this bit independantly) there is, after you download Civ III but BEFORE YOU RUN IT for the first time, there is a file called LSANS.fot. Get Info on it and Lock it. That's all. That will fix the Error Code: 13 problem. However, sigh that only allows the next error, an Error Code: 28, to come up...

Success! I found the solution on Civfanatics (ignore my previous fix):

In the Terminal, navigate to the Conquests directory:"[Your Steam Bottle]/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/sid meier's civilization iii complete/Conquests/"
sudo cp LSANS.TTF LSANS.fot
chflags simmutable LSANS.fot

Note that copying, renaming and locking LSANS.TTF in the Finder will NOT work. I suspect you could copy and rename the file in the Finder and then lock it using the Terminal, but I haven't tried that. I've also seen solutions where you simply assign the file to Root ownership using chown, but that didn't work for me. I may have done it wrong though. Nonetheless, this method worked for me. The game is running, at least. Now if I could only get multiplayer working...

Don't forget that this has to be the Conquests directory, not the main "sid meier's civilization iii complete" directory, even though there's a LSANS.TTF font there too.

Or simply click on Tips&Tricks and read my comment :)
