similar to: diablo ipx lan games?

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 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

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 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, 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

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"

ok i've got diablo 1 working with a no-windows install of winex, the only prob real prob i'm having is an inability to load saved games (the file exists but when i choose the game at the select character menu i always get a choose new character class whether i'm clicking new character or not... could diablo possibly need a registry entry to detect the file correctly? and if so

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.

I have a problem with the directdraw for diablo 1 on my mac. I have read through a few topics but can't seem to find the answer to my question. Also I have looked at the app in appdb but the help given there is not for mac. I have tried to do what it says but it seems like it doesn't work on my computer. I am new to wine by the way. If anyone can help me can they write out what to do

My nephew was home last night and I couldn't play Starcraft with him because selecting UDP or IPX LAN games no longer works. When they're selected, a message box appears saying: Unable to initialize network provider I had the same issue in 0.9.11, 0.9.12, 0.9.13. I was able to play multiplayer LAN games previously, but I'm unable to say what version I was using at that time. I first

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.

I test one application, which require IPX. The matter is I don't know source of failure - application itself, Wine or software misconfiguration. Is there an useful IPX utility to test network inside Wine ?

I can't seem to get IPX going in Starcraft. It gives me "Unable to initialize network provider" in a pretty dialog box (as per usual). I have IPX in kernel, the interface configured for 802.2 frame type, and some IPX RIP/SAP daemon going. The kernel's IPX is configured without the "Full internal IPX network" thing. Apparently (from my reading) this would be a bad

Hi, Anyone that might be able to help me get this running for my son, I would greatly appreciate it. I AM computer literate, but unfortunately for me most of my 20 yrs in using computers has been windows based. switched to fed core a few months ago, love it, but its extremely frustrating not being able to just RUN something... theres alot of effort going into just getting a program to run. after

When its already inside the comp any idea how to help?Disregard that last thread fixed it and thanks in advance.Latest wine and installed D2 with winetricks

I would like to add my case for a wish of IPX support in Samba: We use a number of CNC tool machines whose host is pure DOS based. Don't be surprised that DOS is stilll running somewhere. It is fairly OK when we get to the field of HW and real-time control, unlike Windows and the like... These hosts use IPX to access LAN shares. IPX is here preferable to TCP/IP because of its lower memory

I'm running wine 1.2.2 and used the blizzard installer while downloading everything off of their site for d2 - No expansion yet. I tried to run d2 to make sure its working up to this point before I continue to install lod. I get an error that goes like this: Error 25: A critical error has occurred while initializing Direct3D. I thought wine didn't support direct3D and that was why I was
