Hi all,
I just managed to install Civ 4 Complete edition with PlayOnLinux, which uses Wine 1.4.1 and everything works great except for the game's resolution. I can't seem to find any 16:9 resolution in the options menu, except for my native resolution (1920x1080). I'm using an old GPU (Nvidia 8600GT) and can't run the game at full resolution smoothly, so I want it to run at 720p. Right now, I'm using 1280x800 which I believe is 16:10 and it crops the left and right sides of my screen, so at least it's not getting stretched! I tried editing the _Civ4Config.lnk file to force the game to use 720p, but it didn't work. I'm using the proprietary nvidia-340xx legacy drivers. Also, my desktop doesn't go back to its original resolution after closing the game and I have to manually change it. The Wine FAQ page seems to show only a work around for this and not a solution. I'd like to solve both of these issues, if it's possible!

I am not sure about this, but maybe you edited the wrong file.
You need to edit an *.ini file not a *.lnk file. In Windows, the lnk file will probably link to the correct ini file, but I doubt that will work in Linux. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you where to find the correct ini file.
Good luck.
