I have a quick question - I have been starting to test if bugs are still in the current git of wine. When trying to test a DirectX bug I came across this weird behavior and I am trying to figure out why/if there is a problem or I'm doing something wrong/different. Here's the scenario: 1. Make and install current git of wine (did with 1.1.23-xxx and 1.1.24 and currently trying with

Hi Folks, I have been using Wine for some time now to run Team Fortress 2 (and other HL2 based games) on my Ubuntu system. I was previously running Ubuntu 7.10 with an Athlon64 3800+, a 7600GT (256MB of RAM), and 2GB of DDR2 333MHz. Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) with an AthlonX2 64 6000+, an 8800GT (1GB of RAM) and 4GB of DDR 800MHz. I was really hoping for a nice performance bump

Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and Wine 1.3.0 I've followed the How To guides and tried running the install from the terminal window. I get just past installing DirectX then the install window claims that it's installing BsSndRpt.exe concurrently the feature transfer error window pops up. I really don't know how to fix the problem. I've google searched the error number as

More and more poor clueless users getting to nowhere installing that stuff according to some howtos. Who are writing those? And why are they directing people to install it in the first place? The only person I've found who created that howto everyone links to - Tom Wickline states EXPLICITLY THAT THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY!!! AND NOT TO BE USED WITH ANY REAL LIFE APPLICATION! Are

Austin - another quick question: I've tested a few bugs using the latest compiled fresh from git (wine-1.1.23-273-gc293285) but then began wondering if I should be using the latest beta instead - 1.1.23? I'm also confused if I'm doing something wrong because I tried to install directx 9.0c to test dxdiag and after extracting I ran wine dxsetup.exe. That failed with these errors and

I've been working for a few hours to get RIFT running on my Mac Pro. I really don't want to have to get a full windows license to play the game so it seemed like a good alternative. So I pulled wine via macports (I did this today so I got wine-1.2.2). Then downloaded the game and got it patched (my wife has a Windows machine and a Rift account). This is where progress stopped. I find that

Hi I have been using Wine to play Lotro on OS X 10.6.2 and everything has been fine until I upgraded to 1.1.35 yesterday. Now when I try to run the game I get a "Direct3D could not be initialised" error and in the terminal window I launched the game from the following errors appear:- err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: dlopen(libGL.1.dylib, 266): image not found

I DLed DirectX 9.0C redistributable and ran it with Wine. I didn't know it would want to know the directory to install to. Its obviously going to be in Wine's drive_c folder, but beyond that I have no idea. I was having some trouble with Winetricks installer so i thought manually would be easier. Anyone know where to install these files?

Hi, I am having a problem installing wine on a mandrake 9.1 system with glibc 2.3.2 -3mdk. I get this segmentation fault when installing. It looks to me that it is directx that is the problem which to be honest i am quite happy to live without. If nobody can suggest a remedy for the fault below then if i could disable directx compilation that would be Ok as well. i am using some cflags for

I am not sure this issue is tight to Red Hat qxl GPU driver, but I can't initialize directxX on a guest windows 7. Trying to start a game, I get the error message : Failed to initialize directX Of course, directX is installed on the w7 guest, and properly. The dxdiag command, a directx diagnostic tool, does not show any error. Some summary under the video : Driver name : Red Hat QXL GPU

currently using wine 1.1.21 and ubuntu 9.04 I can perfectly start a game like starcraft, then when I exit the game, I'm unable to start it again, throwing the following error on the command line: > steven at pc-steven:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Starcraft$ wine StarCraft.exe > fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub > X Error of failed request: GLXBadDrawable > Major opcode of

Hi. I'm running Debian Lenny, and I'm having a problem with Wine and playing TF2. I used to be able to play TF2 under DirectX 8.1 before updating to the newest version, no problems. I didn't even have to use the option -dxlevel 81, it was already set to it when I looked under video settings in TF2. However, with Wine 0.9.59, it seems that the DirectX that comes bundled with Wine is

Hi, Maybe you've talked about this many times before, but i've got a problem with DirectX. When i try to run any application that uses DirectX it just tells me that i don't have it installed on my system. The fact is that i do have it installed, and works fine in Windows ME, maybe the version is too recent? i'm using DirectX 7. My system is: Linux Redhat 6.2, Windows ME,

So I got wine working.... sort of. I was never able to run 'wineinstall' b/c if i try to run it under my ordinary login, it halts at 'config' and says I don't have permission, but if I log in as root, I can change directories to the /usr/src/wine/tools and I can see 'wineinstall' and 'config' as executable files (I even chmod a+x them to be sure) but when at:

Hello all, Many games include a DirectX bundle in their installation setup, therefore the WINE DirectX implementation becomes overriden when we test games. However, not only this prevent the testing of WINE's DirectX implementation, the bundle they install is usually outdated. I was wondering therefore if preventing the DirectX install is possible, and if yes, would it be useful for WINE

[Idea] [Idea] [Idea] [Idea] [Idea] [Idea] Is there any way to take advantage from Wine API to port DirectX applications to other platforms? If not, I think that a way to rise the interest of developers in using Wine to port their DirectX applications would be creating a LGPL framework that could allow people reuse their code in new platforms that do not support DirectX, like the iOS, Android and

I've tried to install the game "Caesar 3" on my Linux-box. It worked fine during the installation. The problem appeared when I wanted to play it. Caesar 3 needed the file DDRAW.DLL I found out that it was one of DirectX's .dll-files. Isn't Wine supposed to work with DirectX without installing it? Doesn't Wine have its own "DirectX-clone"? What should I

I have Wine-20010112 in a RedHat7 box and I'm a butt newbie in wine. :) I've installed succesfully the 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
