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, we do a nightly backup using rsync (v2.5.6 as server on RedHat 7.3 and rsync 2.5.5 on Windows 2000/Cygwin). The backup media connected to the Windows-Client is a VFAT-formatted Maxtor USB-Disk. Everytime I run rsync from the windows-client, the following error occurs: --- <snip> --- rsync.exe -avzr --compress --stats --delete --timeout=240 --modify-window=2 rsync@server::development

Hello all, I am trying to install an application done in Java, but in a kind of very Windows-Centric Java. The installer is InstallAnywhere. There's obviously a problem with calls to DirectDraw, both with the installer, and with the application itself if I try to run a version installed on Windows. When I try with the builtin ddraw.dll, the messages are :

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

JeZ-l-Lee wrote: > Please Fix:"Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window" Good luck with that. It never really worked. Ever, not counting a special kind of DDraw games (haven't seen a single one yet, but the code is there...). AJ stated that until Wine will be stable enough it should never completely grab mouse/keyboard input. You'll need to reboot/power

Hello, I am trying to use wine in order to play to some olds 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

Ever since 1.1.27, I've been having problems with what I think is directx. I updated to 1.1.29 (I skipped .28) and I still get the same errors. I've tried using winetricks to install Directx9, but it doesn't do much to alleviate the problem. I've completely deleted my .wine folder and reinstalled 1.1.29 from scratch, but I still get the problem. I have the latest nVidia drivers

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 :( .

Hello, I must to patch wine if i want to play at this game because i have an error message who told me that "error with directdraw". And without patch, the game doesn't run with wine 1.1.35 But, the patch in Wine AppDB is for wine 1.1.21. I tried to patch Wine 1.1.35 with this patch but i had an error message during the "make depend & make" The wine 1.1.21 patch is :

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

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've just installed wine-0.9.1 on my Fedora Core 3 system (Radeon 9600XT - fglrx-8.19.10).

Sorry, if I miss my question, but I can't find any answer in the web. It SEEMS, that wine CAN run many D3D applications (and even D3D8 and 9), but I can't launch any :( Firstly my system: OS: Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 kernel: 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 19:28:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux wine: wine-1.0-rc4 (installed by DEB from winhq repository) GPU: AMD/ATi RadeOn HD3870 512MB GPU

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 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
