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

Hello, I am running Wine 1.0 under Fedora 9 x86_64. The problem is that the two mentioned games use a lot of CPU power about 50 % on a 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. At first I thought this is caused by GDI DirectDraw renderer, but changing to opengl did not help. Also, it is just the same when you configure Diablo to use Direct3D renderer. Does anybody has any idea where can I look for the source of this

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 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.

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

Just as a note.. Xquartz is going to have RANDR capabilities in Xquartz 2.6.0, thanks to the work of Jeremy Huddleston and Jan Hauffa. Right now on Macports if you install xorg-server-devel it will be a build with what is currently in of RandR... its still not totally finished, but it would be nice if some Mac Users could test how it works so far with Wine... if we find bugs now, it could help

Hello! I've installed Diablo II and then tried to start the game. Even if I start the game from the cdrom, Diablo II complains it couldn't start because of Drive error: Make sure that Diablo II CD-Rom is inserted (this is only my translation) my wine config cdrom part: [Drive M] "Type" = "cdrom" "Path" = "/cdrom" "Label" =

Hello. I'm trying to run Diablo 2 under wine. The game installs fine (D2 + LoD + Patch 1.11b), but I experience some serious performances issues. Wine is set to Windows XP mode (otherwise, the game protection doesn't work). The game is very sluggish when the minimap is open, when setting the key binding, or on battle.net menus. The only choice I got from D2VidTst.exe is DirectDraw HAL.

Hello, I am having a problem running Diablo in WINE. It installs properly and will run, but at the title menu all I get is a blank screen, but the menu is there for I can navigate it, i just can't see it. I realize that this is due to a problem with DirectDraw, and have read articles on this. But I am new to WINE and have little experience with Linux as a whole. I was hoping that someone

now i've seen it mentioned a few places that people have gotten Diablo 1 working but i haven't seen any howtos around, what version(s) of wine have any of you got it working with? and could you post your wine.conf for me? thanks, wine's getting better and better everyday (alice runs sweet) also - any info about getting diablo 2 is cool... but i'm in the mood for diablo 1 at

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I can play Diablo 2 in a window (wine Diablo\ II.exe -w) and it plays fine. But when I don't specify the -w option on command line. Diablo will start but the Gnome panels on the top and bottom stay on top and so those panels interfere with my playing of the game. I would like to be able to play full screen as it is a little easier that way.

Ok, I do have Diablo II working, mostly. At the moment, it only works under TWM (not fvwm which is what I normally use) and only in -win mode. The problem is that the first time that my mouse leaves the diablo window, diablo iconifies. Not a major issue, I just have to make sure that it's before I start playing. HOWEVER, after it's de-iconified, the keyboard get's somewhat screwy. I

ok guys I've gotta diablo to the point where it gets all the way to the player screen, I pick my character and it continues to load, it gets SO close (the monk is almost engulfed in light) until the music stops and it seems to hang here's the interesting stuff in my wine config: [x11drv] ; Number of colors to allocate from the system palette "AllocSystemColors" = "100"

First, the problem. If I tick the 'let window manager control window' in winecfg, Diablo freezes up as soon as I minimize it. I can still hear the music playing, but garbage is displayed in the window when I give it focus again. I don't know what could be causing this, desktop effects are disabled. If I untick the box it works normally but the game doesn't appear in the

Hi, at first i have to mention, that i am an freshman in Linux. I am working with it since half a year and still trying to get the basic-knowledge. Nevertheless I've wanted to install Diablo, my favourite game, on Wine. But when I start the setup.exe with the 'Wine-Windows-Emulator' an dchoose the installation-path, only an video-sequence starts, then it returnes to desktop. When I
