similar to: Starcraft and Diablo II use a lot of CPU power

I'm having a problem with the directdraw opengl renderer and StarCraft on wine 0.9.49. When I run starcraft with the opengl renderer, only 1x1 pixel is displayed stretched to full screen size. The other settings have no effect, (Other than RenderTargetLockMode = readtext, if I leave this at default StarCraft crashes, but this is known about). I've updated my graphics drivers to the

I have installed Diablo 1 lately and found Wine can't load the game succesfully. I see a few frames of Blizzard's intro, then it freezes. With Cedega 4.0 it works pretty well> I played for a couple hours then found later I can't load my games back. Ain't that funny? It seems to be a menu problem. Another thing I noticed with Cedega is, multiplayer hangs really quick.

Hi all, I was trying to run Diablo II under WINE, but I receive a "Direct3D failed to initialize" error in a dialog box. The log says this: ***** DirectDraw error: Failed to get gamma control interface! - < unknown > (0x80004002) I tryed to run in both 640x480x16 and 640x480x8, but both give the same error message. I'm using Linux 2.4.1, XFree86 4.0.1 on a GeForce256 DDR

Everywhere I look people are just saying that Diablo II runs perfectly on wine without any problems. I installed successfully, but when I insert the play disc, my screen resolution changes and in the corner I can see one white letter with a black background that is constantly changing not apparently spelling anything. After a while this stops, and I can't do anything until I restart X. I am

RA2:YR is a 2D game - I think it probably uses DirectDraw. It runs slower with 0.9.16 and now the in game cursor flickers. Besides minor audio problems it ran fine in 0.9.15. I tried setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer to "gdi". It made no difference. Is that the corrent way to turn off the new DirectDraw changes?

now that i got diablo II installed fine (full install) , wine hangs when i try to start the game. i compiled wine with --disable-debug, so i recompiled it without that, but it still wouldn't give me any errors. it just sits there doing nothing short period after starting. anybody had similar problems before, or has an idea of what it happening? thx in advance, totti. -- Sent through GMX

hi everyone. i've just compiled and configured wine and tried to play starcraft. but when i start it nothing happens. i mean really nothing. here's the poor output of wine, hopefully it says something to you guys: fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x4cf850,1) - no error checking or testing yet fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403b39a8)->(00020021,00000013)

I installed them okay but when I tray to play them this error message comes up: Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw I have an ATI Radeon HD 3000 integrated chipset.

Hi, I installed wine 1.1.1 because it's write that lan game work: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3498&iTestingId=28819&bShowAll=true I install it but, in the diablo game, it say: unable to initialize selected connection method I use ubuntu 10.10, is that the cause of this error? I follow tutorial in the appdb but it change nothing.

Allright, I'm at my wits end here. About 6 months ago I had starcraft working perfectly under wine. Couldn't tell the difference between it and running natively under windows. Anyway, between now and then I've reinstalled and updated drivers, etc and I can't get wine to work for the life of me (Recent version too) When I had it working I was using a script to start a second X

I am having difficulty getting D2 w/ LOD 1.12 to run in colour through wine. I am running a ASUS eeepc 701 w/ the cpu running at 900mhtz and 2gb of ram. OS is Ubuntu 9.10 netbook edition and the game is installed on a Western Digital Elements 1tb hdd connected through usb 2.0 and I had to install the GLIDE3toOpenGL-wrapper v 1.4d to get it to run at all. The game runs fine, considering the

I am running Starcraft under Wine on RH 7.0 with Stock XF86 server. I got OpenGL to work with my NVidia GEForce 2 MX card (hence, DRI works), because I have installed the Linux version of Unreal Tournament and it works beautifully. Unfortunately, that is much more than I can say about Starcraft under Wine. I understand that there is an X extension called DGA that I can use to speed things

Hi, I am trying to compile wine in an AMD64 Ubuntu machine, taking the precautions needed shown in the winehq's wiki to do it. The compilation finishes fine, but for some reason there is no support for some things that used to have in the i386 pre-compiled package. One of them is ALSA sound. I use ALSA because for some reason OSS sometimes ruins the sound making it look like a loud scratch

I was reading the notes about using Diablo II under Wine and I noticed that one of the requirements was not to have Wine compiled with gcc 4.0. Is this still the case and if so why would the compiler make a difference? I know I could run with a cracked version of Diablo II, but I would prefer not to.
