Man of the House Troubleshooting Help

I'm using Windows 10, but I solved this problem by moving the folder to another location. Weird stuff.

No, it's not. It's about permissions. Your account didn't have permission to modify original folder.

What I meant is, your user account on your OS, or game doesn't have permission to write in folder where you extracted game originally. How you ended with such situation, I don't know. Maybe it was Windows update which messed with permissions, just a guess.
You moved to other folder, and it works now. Presumably, game executive file has rights to modify folder where it is now.

Yeah, I think there's two locations (maybe more, I don't know) in Windows 10 - root (C:\) and the desktop - that doesn't allow write permissions. So if the game is extracted to either of those locations, you won't be able to launch the game or save your game.
The game needs to be extracted to its own location; such as c:\MotH or C:\Man of the House for example..

Well, I am guessing your ubuntu is 64 bit. Problem is that game is 32 bit afaik. When it is run by Wine, it asks fro gstreamer-ugly, and it asks for 32 bit version. At current moment, you can not install 32 bit gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-bad on 64 bit Debian-based systems. Problem is Debian maintainers are lazy to fix dependency hell, which they caused. Anyway, it will wait to next version of Debian, and few versions of Ubuntu. I think in 17.04 it was possible to install..
You have few options:
first install vmplayer and then Windows 7 in it. I recommend 64 bit. You must install windows updates. Then game should run fine. You must give it at least 2 giga of ram and 512 of video to your guest system. Install vmware aditions, and enable 3d acceleration. You must enable it in vmplayer gui, and then type in terminal:
Code:
gedit ~/.vmware/preferences
Code:
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "FALSE"Your host windows will get acceleration, game will recognise your resolution, and it will be rather fast.
If you have any further questions, ask me.
I will try to help.
You can also try vbox, but 3d acceleration is still experimental there.
You can recompile gstreamers, but it's painful.
Maybe try some Linux with full multiarch support for gstreamers.
the version of game 0.7.6 was working fine on windows with good speed
but after update new version the game came slow and winehq have issue with new versions

Update windows on your virtual machine. There is iso of windows 7 with all updates installed, up to June 2018. Game *will work* there.
I followed all the steps (applied them to wineskin instead of staging, running Mac) and get the error "Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3d acceleration in display settings. IntializeEngineGraphics failed." Any ideas on how to fix that?

Since devenum installs DirectX9, I think that's it. Try wine stagging. It works on Linux without need for DirectX.
I have been through all the troubleshooter pages but cannot solve this problem.
Since 7.9 the exe wont start
I have
Since 7.9 the exe wont start
I have
- deleted and downloaded a new copy and tried to run it without changing any files (mapping or saves)
- extracted to C: instead of the J: external drive (I have always run it from the external without a problem)
- Updated Win10.
- Run as administrator
I am getting i little bit tired of these animations not working,
2 updates ago i had the problem of getting a black screen when animations were supposed to appear.
I downloaded every windows update i could find (incl optional), then updated my graphics card drivers, set the option "disable screen optimisation" on the game .exe, and finally got the animations to work. (Oh before all this i first tried the "webm direct show and k-lite" suggestion but this didn't work)
So i skipped one update and now wanted to play the 0.8 version and i get the same shit all over again with the black screen when animations are supposed to appear.
I think it may be caused by the Windows update to version 1803 because that is the only thing that changed on my system since i last player MotH.
So again i spent 2 hours updating my system with the same process described above and searching this thread for help but i can't get it to work.
I have a laptop with a windows 10 home x64 OS version 1803 an AMD R5 graphics and AMD R7 graphics (i don't know how this works) see attached file.
Ant help will be greatly appreciated!

The game run's well on win 7, 8 and 10 smoothly with my PC I3 GT 220. I think there could be other problem for those couldn't run it and oh for my issue above i already found solution were just create custom resolution and then launch the game so the graphic/resolution would be fit.
