New year, New Master of Magic! v1.5 fan patch

[someone]

Yes, Linux cares about the file names. Capitalize all files before overwriting. I did that once but it seems windows doesn't care and changes it back anyway. That kind of bug happens if you load the new save files with the old wizards.exe or vica versa.

Thanks for the reply!

When I capitalize Wizards.exe and replace the old one, I get the second error I related "when the map should start, it doesn't, just stays dark without song".
Main menu / game creation works. It only stops working after it generates the map and was supposed to start it.

Tried again a few times, waited a few minutes, but I only get a black screen without song...

Using DOSBox 0.74.

idk, never tried to play this on Linux.
magic.exe handles game creation and main menu, wizards.exe is the actual game afterwards, so it sounds like it's still wizards.exe that is crashing.

You can also try the 1.51RC patch, maybe that one works better?
Other possible problems might be the dosbox settings (I know some people get crashes for no reason with some configurations - best to try running dosbox with the default settings first and see if that works) or the sound settings (some of those can cause crashes too).

Aside from that the only remaining possibilities I can think of is that your 1.31 is either not 1.31, not the English version, or is missing files.

Thanks! I tested with 1.51RC3 and it worked! (I was trying RC4)
I tested 1.50 and 1.51RC3 before, but I probably didn't renamed Wizards.exe for them.
Version 1.50 also works (after rename). So only 1.51RC4 doesn't work here.
