I tried to download .exe from three different source, and install it via “play on linux” software, who creates automatically for u wine and other things… but doesn’t work
Play on Linux should have an installer for it if you can use play on linux. Otherwise Wine is your friend. When using wine make sure you use windows XP and not some crazy 7 or 8 compatibility mode. You will double click the installer and wine should go to work allowing a virtual windows installation.
here i bumped soon on this site and translate to english, they talk about 1.2.1 wine for running game
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/santa-clause-in-trouble-santa-clause-in-troubl/
Can u tell me how to install that wine, and set up thing?
in terminal
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine -y wine1.2
Then double click your exe file Let me know how it goes
sudo apt-get install wine -y wine1.2

Package wine1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
wine1.8:i386 wine1.8 wine1.6:i386 wine1.6
E: Package 'wine1.2' has no installation candidateuse
sudo apt-get install wine
instead

How then to install game from wine? Do i type in therminal winetricks?
You shouldn’t have to. Just double click the exe
Crash at start as like in play on linux enviroment
What is the text of the crash?
i can’t see cause resolution breaks when start the game, it is like 60% of full width ( i get window with border left-right ), i see that crash error for 0.1s and then screen go crazy, then i use alt+f4 to stop it and via therminal log out, to get reset resolution and whole thing
you need to run
winetricks d3dxof
winetricks quartz devenum
Then run the game. It works on mine now

Hello peoples again. New Christmas is coming soon.
Once upon a time, I was ran this game on my comp with WinXP. Today I have a more modern comp, operating system - Ubuntu 18.04 x64, core7/ 16gigs ram. Videocard - AMD R9 285, 2048MB onboard.
The Game does not run. I have both games:
- Santa Claus In Trouble
- Santa Claus In Trouble… Again
both games does not run in Wine 3.0
I’ve install
winetricks d3dxof
winetricks quartz devenum
but this does not help. Game is start with blank screen and change resolution to 800x600. I set a “virtual window desktop” setting as seen on shot above. Game start with blank windowed screen and error on this window:
