Caesar™ IV

After days of trying, finally got this to work on linux (bazzite). Here's how for anyone trying to get it working on Linux. Hope this helps someone else. Now time for me to get back into building a tiny part of Rome. GE-Proton Compatibility settings (Run the game once so it creates a fresh prefix) - Get it via ProtonPlus and completely restart Steam. protontricks 517810 vcrun2005 protontricks 517810 d3dx9 protontricks 517810 dotnet20sp1 protontricks 517810 dotnet40 protontricks 517810 dotnet48 Run RegisterDLL.bat via protontricks-launch using protontricks-launch --appid 517810 /var/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Caesar\ 4/C4/RegisterDLL.bat (make sure to replace your username) Launch options: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcr80=n,b;msvcp80=n,b" %command% In case you get warnings about filesystem access permissions: flatpak override --user --filesystem=/var/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/share/Steam com.github.Matoking.protontricks

I was unable to run the game. It seemed to run in the background while I was unable to play it, so 13,5 hours of playtime were recorded although I never could access the game. Steam refused to refund because of the playtime recorded on my account. Do not buy

This game does work on Windows 11. To get it to work I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package for both x86 and x64. Then navigate to the installation directory of the game. The default location is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Caesar 4\C4. Then find and run the "RegisterDLL.bat" file in this directory as an administrator. Relaunch the game and it should now work.

Game made back when Activision was concern about quality instead of sucking the maximum amount of money out of consumers. Doesn't run at first. You have to do little minor tweaks to get it working. People that say the game doesn't run just couldn't be bothered for even 2 min. I guess they don't have google or something.

Loved this game 2 decades ago, and still love this game today. The resource management and objectives keep you on your feet. It is absolutely criminal that this game does not have a sequel with modernized graphics and new challenges

had issues starting on W10 but ubutu is ok

Caesar 4 is a great Roman city builder; for me, it's my favorite. The graphics aren't bad for this game being 20 years old; getting the game running is not great, but it's an easy fix. Gameplay itself is your normal city builder, but Roman. The wrath of the gods does add a little jazz to the game, along with the voice lines of the citizens when clicked on. Overall it's a good game if you like city builders and a great game if you enjoy Roman city builders.

do not buy this game on modern hardware the game lancher opens but the game never does i tryed troblue shooting but it still doesnt work 1/10 dont buy

If the game does not launch navigate to the install folder > C4 > run RegisterDll.bat as admin. Worked for me. If you played this when you were younger, boy do I have news for you. This is that game you played when you were younger.
