Black screen in Industry Giant Gold

[dirdi]

Hi,

first of all: I'm not a wine guru =/

I currently try to get Industry Giant Gold up and running (No, not Industry Giant II). Installation worked like a charm and the game starts up without any problems - so far so good. But here is what doesn't work: If i enter a building (no matter of what type) and leave it, i get a black screen instead of returning to the map. I've made and a short screencast of the problem: http://tinypic.com/r/307sp4i/8

Informations:
* No AppDB entry for this game so far
* I use PlayOnLinux as wine frontend
* Wine version: 1.7.16 (I also tested 1.6.2 - same result =/)
* Debian testing:

$ uname -a
Linux laptop 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.7-1 (2014-03-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux

* PlayOnLinux debugger output:

All debug messages occur before i even enter the building! Sound is still runnig after i left the building, so i guess the game is still running.

* I run the game inside a virtual desktop (1024x768 px)

Should i provide further informations? Please give me a hint, what you need!

Thanks in advance for your help =)

Hi dirdi,

Your first step is clearly to read the WineFAQ . It clearly states there that we don't support PlayOnLinux! It's great when it works. But it's not just a 'frontend' - the versions of Wine it uses often have patches and other hacks applied to make games work...

If you could install and run the game without any use of the PlayOnLinux interface it would useful. This will entail setting up a clean WINEPREFIX and using a vanilla version of Wine. Something like (I am not sure what type of installation medium you are using):

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /home/dirdi/.local/wineprefix/
export WINEPREFIX=/home/dirdi/.local/wineprefix/DerIndustriegigant
export WINEARCH=win32
# setup 32-bit WINEPREFIX & determine which drive your DVD drive is mapped to
winecfg
# browse to DVD version (.exe installer will be easier) mapped to drive D:\
cd '/home/dirdi/.local/wineprefix/DerIndustriegigant/dosdevices/d:'
# Launch executable installer (from UNIX $PWD present working directory)
wine setup.exe
# Run game...
cd "/home/dirdi/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/DerIndustriegigant/drive_c/Gigant"
wine gigant.exe

(or roughly similar)

Make sure you have the 32-bit multilib libraries for your graphics card and sound (alsa/pulseaudio).

Perhaps you could post the output of:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep '^[a-zA-Z]'

to let us know what graphics card & driver version we are dealing with!

Thanks
Bob

I confess and regret, that i have just skimmed the WineFAQs =/

However, i installed and ran the game, like you suggested:

But sadly the problem persists! I fiddled a little bit more and found out that:
1) When i move the virtual desktop window while the screen is black, the mouse pointer get cought
2) When i press q the game asks me to quit and after i refuse, the menubar reappears
3) When i press z the game displays an info screen and after i exit this screen, the map reappears.
Hence my suggestion, that the game still runs after the black screen appears, was true. You can find my latest three findings in this new screencast: http://tinypic.com/r/4lpqvq/8

Here are the infos about my graphics:

Hi dirdi,

Make sure you have the 32-bit multilib libraries for your graphics card and sound (alsa/pulseaudio).

Have you done this yet?

• What distro are you using?
• What Desktop Environment?

You can (probably) fix these issues...

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

These missing (native Linux) 32-bit multilib libraries - note these particular libraries are not usually supercritical though!

Generally it's recommended to "ride" the "Development Release" of Wine. The stable release is more like a "feature frozen" release - bug fixes often are not backported...

Wine-gecko is a required part of Wine; running without it is not supported.

Install wine-gecko and retest in a clean wineprefix. If the problem persists, file a bug.
