I have installed Wine 1.6 and Playonlinux under Linux Mint 17 Xfce. In Playonlinux I have installes Shipsim Extremes and it runs fine when launched from Playonlinux itself. But when I have installed in Playonlinux Shipsim 2008 or JumboJavelin which is based upon Shipsim 2008, and I launch this from Playonlinux, I get an error message telling that the StartGame.cgr can not be loaded. But this file is in the Jumbo Javelin folder where it should be.
Problem has been fixed. In the configuration screen of the game in Playonlinux I have to change the Wine version from System to an other version. In the DLL overrides list I have to change "quartz"="native" to "quartz"="builtin".
