I'm having a bit of trouble running RTC3 Platinum.

It installed just fine, but after starting, I receive a message:

"Your graphics hardware or drivers do not meet the minimum requirements to run this application.

This error has also been sent to Debug.log

OK: <Attempt to continue> Cancel: <Exit>"

After clicking "OK", WINE crashes. I know that my graphics hardware is easily up to the task.

The AppDB says that it should work just fine.

My System:
ATI 4860HD with 1 GB RAM
Ubuntu 11.10
WINE vers. 1.3.28

I'm using the Open Source drivers and have verified they are working correctly (Evil Genius runs great except for a couple small known graphical glitches). As far as I'm aware, only folks who used the proprietary ATI drivers have tried the game, so that may be the reason for the failure. On the off chance that it isn't, I thought I'd ask around.

Thanks for your time.

Install the proprietary driver.

Maybe I wasn't clear: I don't want to use the proprietary driver, so I want to know if the game works at all with the Open Source driver. If there isn't, well that sucks and I'll suck it up, but I'm not going to install the proprietary driver.

From the testing I did on this game a week ago, I couldn't get it
functioning with the OSS driver.

The simple answer here is NO. The Noveau drivers for nVidia and
AMD/ATI do not support higher level 3D functions needed to support
Wine.

The complex answer is that these drivers may be able to in the future,
but at the present time they do not have complete code for 3D actions
to support Wine and any program that needs 3D functions.

And because a Video card can support a program under
WindowsXP/Vista/Seven does not mean that corresponding video
functionality exists in Linux, either Open Source or Proprietary.

I'm quite aware, thus why I checked glxinfo first to make sure everything was kosher. It was.

Regardless, it seems like the program cannot be run without the proprietary driver. Unfortunate, but oh well.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.

Looking at the sections "3D features", you will see that still some stuff is missing, "mostly", "WIP" or "TODO" isn't good enough. With some games you may be lucky, if you they don't use many effects.
