Wolverine+AMD radeon graphic card

[legluondunet]

Hello,

this game worked fine with wine and nvidia graphic card, but now it crash at start with my recent AMD radeon 7850. This is the log file:

I'm using AMD radeon 7850 with Catalyst drivers 12.6., Ubuntu precise 12.04, wine 1.5.10.
If I'm using the radeon free drivers (Mesa gallium), I could see different animations but after the "unreal" logo, it crashs.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure, if it matters, but you should make sure, that the nvidia driver was completely removed (assuming that you recently replaced your nvidia card by radeon). In general, wine is having much more issues with radeon drivers/cards than with nvidia ones, you may consider filing a bug. Are you using 64 bit linux?

[legluondunet]

Drivers installation is clean and I'm using Ubuntu 64 bits. It's a pity wine does not support better AMD graphic card. I'm going to report a bug.

[lahmbi5678]

Hi,

before filing a bug, you should make sure, that you also uninstalled the package, which contains the 32bit nvidia libgl, and installed the radeon-specific 32bit libgl (not sure about the package names, in debian they are something like fglrx-glx-ia32 and nvidia-glx-ia32).

[legluondunet]

thank you, I already verified that.

[lahmbi5678]

One last thing you could check though quite improbable is if you are bit by that bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/852811

[legluondunet]

it's an old bug and today, on Ubuntu, with the last catalyst drivers, we don't need to make a link like described in this launchpad bug report.

For what it's worth I am encountering the same error after switching from NVIDIA 580GTX to Radeon 7950 with several Steam games.

[lahmbi5678]

Hi,

the interesting question might be, is that issue caused by bug/incompatibility in radeon driver or by leftovers of the nvidia driver, maybe some config issue. Would the issue also arise, if you installed another (preferably 32bit) linux from scratch?

[legluondunet]

Lahmbi, you misunderstood, I used my nvidia card in my old pc. I change my pc and it has a AMD radeon now, a 7850. Now I have several wine games that ran well with my nvidia card and crash with my Radeon, and I'm not the only one (Wolverine, Unreal tournment 3, Need for speed undercover), but others games run very well with that card wich has good performance on linux (Unreal tournment 2004, Assassin Creed, Tomb raider anniversary...). The fact is wine support better nvidia graphic cards than radeon. To change that situation, I think we have (AMD radeon users) to report bug to wine developper. I'm going to begin now with wolverine game.

[lahmbi5678]

So there's probably not much one can do, apart from filing a bug. It's probably ok to file a separate bug for evey game failing in a similar way (working on nvidia, failing with radeon), at least as long as the exact cause of the issue is unclear. Of course you should tell in the bug report, that there are other similar bugs, which may be duplicates (due to same cause of the bug).

Thank you all for the information!
It looks like I can still play Wolverine if I try to fix the issue.
Will do!

[legluondunet]

Hello Martina, could you tell us what is your configuration? Wolverine version? What was your issue?

Keep in mind that *if* the problem lies with the fglrx/Catalyst drivers, not much can be done. You could leave a report with the AMD team, but I've never had a reply from doing so. I've never had full support for my Crossfire 2600XTs after using fglrx for three years.

By using the open-source radeon drivers, some Wine devels can often get in touch with the radeon devels. And the fix could materialize in a matter of weeks if not days.

As far as Wine preferring one card manufactuer over the other, it has more to do with the drivers and the games being used. Ever see a game advertise: "Runs best on _____" ?
