Hello, I've been trying to play KQ8 on my RH9, without success so far. The game installed without a problem. It hangs in the very early stages when it is run: - I see the splash screen - The splash goes away - Many popups saying "Cannot open file" appear - Game freezes. I'd expect the game menu to appear. In my console, I have this message repeating 30 times approx: fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Need to update SYSMETRICS after resizing display (now 640x480) Then this message printing in an infinite loop: fixme:mci:MCIWndProc support for MCIWNDM_ message WM_USER+106 not implemented I played with --debugmsg and eventually obtained an interesting message printing in a loop: trace:mci:MCI_Open (00030200, 0x408c6bf0) trace:mci:MCI_Open lpstrElementName='w32opn_1.dll' trace:mci:MCI_GetDevTypeFromFileName No ...\MCI Extensions entry for '.dll' found. fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Need to update SYSMETRICS after resizing display (now 640x480) trace:mci:MCIWndCreateA 0x10023 0x400000 2 w32opn_1.dll --debugmsg +mciwave,+mcivideo,+msacm,+shell,+msvideo,+mmsys,+mci,+mciavi,+mciwave,+mcimidi,+mcicda,+mcianim" This w32opn_1.dll is installed by the game in c:\sierra\mask, along with a few other DLLS with similar names. I tried specifying this DLL in the dlloverrides section (with the exact path c:\\sierra\\mask), but it didn't change a thing. I also tried loading native WinMe DLLs. That didn't help either. "mciavi.drv" = "native" "mcicda.drv" = "native" "mciseq.drv" = "native" "mciwave.drv" = "native" I also tried running Wine in win95, win98 and winme. I didn't try beyond. This game didn't work on a real win2k system. I can't help thinking there is a workaround. All thoughts are welcome! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Search, le moteur de recherche qui pense comme vous ! http://fr.ca.search.msn.com/
