Well, I want to get FEAR working on my jaunty install. I have already got it to install, I applied the FEAR patch, and noCD'd it. But when I try to start it, it doesn't do anything. I've been looking around and I got this page: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5159&iTestingId=12223 Now, I'm seeing stuff about "1. Put native d3dx9_36.dll

...ed fine and compiled fine. But: I have only a wine exec, but no winex. In the tools subfolder, there is a winex. But when I run it it just states, that some dir´s are missing (/usr/lib/transgaming and so on). The exec winex is only a script, no bin. Does somebody know how to build a real winex with DX8 Support? Or is the only chance to get this thingy by subscribing? Thank you very much in advance! cu... buedi!

I'm at my wit's end here. I have an IBM T60p with an ATI FireGL v5200 graphics card, I'm running kubuntu 10.04, and the radeon open source drivers for the graphics card. 3D works great when I run glxgears. I can even use wine to open Guild Wars--the login screen works great. The character select screen works wonderfully. The actual game...looks like something the cat yakked up. I get a

Hi, i have an acer aspire one that have linpus (an lite version of fedora), so i want to play Guild Wars on that.

It crashes randomly with the error failed to lock index buffer in CMesh DX8::LockIndexBuffer And, The Steam Shop doesn't work (i get a black screen), In game html addons neither. (I think the html engine or something is broken)

...ow if this is the right place to ask for help on WineD3D, but as I am not using it for Virtualbox I thought it would be pretty useless to post on their forums. Basically I want to use Wine to bypass the new DirectX 10's annoying 'feature' of software accelerating any programs that use DX8 or lower. I makes playing some older games either impossible or impossibly slow, even with software acceleration. I downloaded WineD3D with the intention of installing the older DX8 adn DX7 binaries figuring DX to OGL translation would still be faster on a new Geforce than your modern quad core pr...

Hello again. Today I got following questions: 1.Which version of OpenGL is wine written in? 3.1? 3.0? 2.1? 2.0? Lower maybe? 2.Is wine using custom OpenGL extensions? From which vendors (NVIDIA I guess, ATI, S3, INTEL or others as well?)? 3.What is the minimum OpenGL version to run DX2/3/6/7,DX8,DX8.1 and DX9.0 apps? (I guess for OpenGL apps it doesn't really matter right? You are just wrapping it to native OpenGL commands probably ? correct?) Can somebody answer that ? I'm very curious, also it may help me write my wine-apps-manager (Yes, I'm trying to write something like th...

...ialog--right now I only have OSS (what I chose in ~/.wine/config because others did not work). So: Are all the sound libraries on winelib as they were or do I need to download separate alsa and jack, etc, packages to activate these options? (Using jack might solve the timing issues.) Question: Dx8 (or other) is required by some programs and their installation does not find it. How do I get past this test and let wine do the rest?

Hi. I found out about Wine 2 days ago. So, my goal is to play Warcraft III through Garena with Wine on my Mac. I installed Garena, and it works ok so far. But I cant initialize Warcraft III, I get this message: "Warcraft was unable to initialize DirectX. Please ensure you have DirectX 8.1 or newer installed and that your display drivers are current." I already installed d3dx9 and

...ne. If you are having graphics issues, use regedit to try some registry keys: * UseGLSL=disabled * DirectDrawRenderer=opengl * OffscreenRenderingMode=pbuffer or fbo * RenderTargetLockMode=auto DIDN"T TRY THESE YET Appending these flags to the run command may help you: * -dx8 - Uses DirectX 8 * -dsound - Uses DirectSound * -nosound - Disables sound TRIED THESE[/code]

...1.0 be expected? 1.0 should mean an initial release, and not the 100% ready and stable release. If Wine is completed to 2/3 in APIs after 13 years, will the total development time be 20 years? :) So 2013 a 1.0 release? Hopefully not! Can a generous timescale be given, like: - end of 2007: all DX8 games run => Wine 1.0 - end of 2008: all DX9 games run => Wine 2.0 Please stay polite in giving the answer to the timescale question.

...game 'Shatered Galaxy' but the graphics are weird, it looks like a directx problem to me, so I tryed to install the latest DirectX 8 that I found in M$.com but it says something like 'This version of DirectX can't run in your Operating System'. Anyone knows a way to install Dx8? Should I manually copy/paste the DLL files in the /System directory? and, if so, what files do I need? Thank you friends.

hey, when i run Counter-Strike : Source from steam using wine, it runs like it normally would on windows, then when it starts up, it shows me the css background, like when its loading the menu, then the screen goes black and the pointer (mouse) flickers.. any ideas?

I only use wine for games so I'm DEFINETLY trying this out!

I'm running an integrated Intel Video Card 3400 series, and when I try to run Steam apps, they crash after I connect (these are all multiplayer games) and wine gives me this error: Code: failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer This error was already reported 3 times, and the solution to them has been to edit the registry using 'regedit' and then editing Direct3D's folder by adding in "VideoMemorySize" and setting it equal to the MB of the given video card, so for me it was 256....

Hello! When I start Gw.exe with the Windows 98 profile it works very good. But I only have DX8 graphics. I guess this is the reason, why the game works so good. Changing the profile to Win XP (and therefore GW uses now DX9) I have much graphic problems. Even at the lowest settings I have much errors. I have installed DX9 with winetricks and I have a ATI 4900 Card which can do DX 10 and Ope...

Hello, I want to play Guild Wars on my Debian Wheezy System. Installing worked but it runs at about 1fps, unplayable. My Graphics adapter is "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" and I use wine 1.5.0. Can someone help me? Best regards, R2

Hi, I hope this is the correct mailing list to send to. Basically I have just put in a full Linux computer suite in the school I work at. The problem is they need the Macromedia Suite for their 6th form students. As I couldn't get MX2004 to work at all I have 'downgraded' to MX. Fireworks, Freehand and Flash MX all work perfectly! But... Dreamweaver does not. What happens is I run
