Date formats are Satan's true love.  No date format is compatible with any other date format and some switched between US and UK date formats are actively wrong rather than failures. As Americans put the month and day the wrong way around (I am sure they disagree)

I imagine! Who cares who's right, as long as I can see the dates now. :) I'm glad this even works on my OS.

For whatever reason, Wine doesn't hand off the sLongDate setting to Aurora 4x properly.

The only solution I've found that works is adding an additional environment variable when executing Aurora.

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.aurora WINEARCH=win64 LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8 wine Aurora.exe

en_US doesn't work either. en_GB is the only option that appears to work correctly.

Sorry, people. I posted this in the VB6 forum instead of C#.

This registry file is all you need to set up the proper Wine environment with Aurora 4X.

This file sets the proper numerical localization and removes all of the glaring white highlights.



To create an environment for Aurora to run, I use:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.aurora WINEARCH=win64 winetricks --force --unattended courier micross win10

Then I apply the attached theme:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.aurora WINEARCH=win64 wine regedit aurora-dark-theme.txt

For running Aurora under wine:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.aurora WINEARCH=win64 wine Aurora.exe
