Running Julius on Windows

José Cadete edited this page Apr 22, 2023 · 4 revisions

Julius supports Windows Vista and higher. Windows XP has limited support.

  1. Install Caesar 3 using the provided installer (GOG/Steam/CD-ROM). When installing from CD-ROM, please select the "Full installation" option, otherwise you'll experience missing sound and videos.
  2. Download the latest release of Julius or compile from source.
  3. Copy julius.exe, SDL2.dll and SDL2_mixer.dll to the folder where you installed Caesar 3
  4. Run Julius

Note: If you install Caesar 3 using Steam and plan to use Steam to launch the game, do not rename julius.exe to c3.exe. Doing so will make the mouse cursor disappear when using right-click to scroll.

Instead, open SierraLauncher.ini and replace Game1Exe=c3.exe with the Game1Exe=julius.exe.

Alternatively, you can check the Disable right click to drag the map option to disable right-click scrolling.

Windows XP

Julius still works on Windows XP, but the most recent version of SDL may not work. To use an older version of SDL that's known to work:

  1. Follow the general instructions for Windows
  2. Download SDL 2.0.9
  3. Extract SDL2.dll from that zip file to the same folder where you installed Julius, overwriting the existing file
  4. Run Julius
