similar to: DirectDraw problem

I just tried to install an ancient detective-type RPG ( I am not up with the classifications.) (a) It offered to install DirectX. Since Wine has its own DirectX, I ignored that. (b) The game failed to run because (according to the message box) it couldn't find DirectDraw. This showed as a Fixme in the terminal, while the error message was to do with the display settings - there was no mode

Hello all, I was installing Thomas the Tank Engine (for my son, not me) and ran into 2 problems: - Unless I added "Desktop"="1024x768" to [Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver] in user.reg, the program would give a DirectDraw error. Is there a better way to fix this error? - The mouse works, but it keeps returning to the bottom right corner. I applied a patch (settings.c.diff), which

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

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

As soon as the application starts, a window pops up that (normally under windows) would say "this is a trial version demo, click okay to start the trial", or something along those lines. The window is blank and clicking randomly on it (to find the "ok") does not work either. The following output from wine during this test is as follows : err:iphlpapi:getRouteTable Received

I just installed the old game The Neverhood into WINE, and it won't run. On start up it pops up the following dialogue boxes: DDERR_UNSUPPORTED and Unable to initialize DirectDraw. I have it set to run in Windows 98 (like the how-to from the AppDB), and I've tried it with both Vertex Shader and pixel shader on and off. I installed the DirectX that came with it. I keep getting the same

Hi all I would like to run an old game that was written for directx5. Is there a way to change that in wine? Also, if I want to disable directdraw how can I do it? Many thanks Costas

Hello again. Today I got following question: What is the purpose of DIB Engine? Is it to speed up DirectDraw apps, or is it to add missing functionality for DirectDraw ?emulation?? I'm asking this because I recently tested few DDraw apps (Fallout2 and Happyland Adventures) with DIB enabled and... well for HA there was now significant speed difference, and Fallout2 slowed down even more :( .

Hi all, I just want to give you feedback with my test on ableton live application. A long ago time I was trying to run audio applications with wine. Since I completely switched on linux (3 years now) I also completely stop my music creation. Of course there are goods music softwares on linux, but I was a junky with software like Emagic Logic audio and Ableton Live. And now I'm a junky on

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

Hi: I can't get Red Alert (The old version, not Red Alert II) to work with wine. This is suprising since the Apps database on winehq.com has three entries that say Red Alert works. For me the screen goes black and stays that way. I get out of it by killing X witn Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This the the error output from wine: Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin /WIN95/westwood/redalert/ra95.exe ...

Hello, To get straight into the subject at hand, it seems that the two latest wine versions (.16, .17) have broken some of my applications (Planescape and Carmageddon, in particular). These applications used to work perfectly in .15, so I'm led to think that the problems are due to the extensive changes done in the Direct3D area.The output seems to confirm these thoughts. Now, I'm not

I tried to run a demo of Hype: The time quest (Windows 95/98, uses directX6 or some glide3 for 3D stuff) to see if it would work. It installed, but comes up with a weird "Cannot find a game using directdraw" error. I uninstalled it and went about my way. While it would be cool to have this run, that is not my main problem. Now, I cannot run Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (also windows 95/98--runs
