ATI Graphics card

solo2101 · Post by **solo2101** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 10:52 pm

hello everyone

Please pardon my ignorance, i new in the forum, new to Linux and to WINE...

i know that Linux and WINE are not in love with ATI cards (yet), but i recently install the newer proprietary drivers (10-12) and so far it seems fine under Linux, i have 3D acceleration and everything, i even install compiz and it awesome... also under wine I install a game and it work really nice, didn't have to mess with any dlls, to install it, run it and even playing it.

except that there were some important textures missing, (like the enemies shooting at you... they're invisible... lol )

i bet that with a Nvidia card it would work just fine.

so like i said before i know that WINE doesn't work to well under ATI, but is there any suggestion that i can follow?

I don't have the budget to switch to a Nvidia card right now.

any suggestion will be really appreciate.. thanks.

Ups... forgot something important...

I'm using wine version 1.3.9, and the game is GRAW

thanks again...

----------------------------------------------Update-----------------------------------------

So i try installing d3dx9 using winetricks....
and the same thing din't work the game still the same
i try installing d3dx10 using winetricks... same thing...

so I uninstall those

next i try the Registry... i went to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -> Direct3D" and add
"OffscreenRenderingMode" = "backbuffer"
"VideoMemorySize" = "1024"

and now I'm getting this error while loading the the missions..

delete your ~/.wine and start again.

Run the game from the terminal with wine 1.3.10 and no winetricks modifications and pastebin+post the results.

Though the safest bet is turning off GLSL with AMD/ATI cards.

First....

Thank you for you help.

Its a game its call Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter ver. 1.35
the executable file is name GRAW.exe

when I run it on terminal I this:

Code: Select all

The actual output is longer but this is the part just before the game crash.
If you need the whole output i can post it also.

Im using Fedora 14 and and wine 1.3.10 is still not available on the repository,
if there any way that i can install wine newest version i will do it...
but once again, excuse my ignorance, i don't know how to do that.

Also i just check for updates and theres some
newer kernel
newer Mesa drivers... and other ... let me do these first and then i get back to you guys

thanks...

so i uninstall Wine and delete my .wine folder, download the source and install it,
and I install the game and the update, then run nit from terminal and this is what im getting:

Thank you, Angus!

I just had this exact same problem and didn't even think of trying GLSL.
I disabled GLSL and now it works! Not sure if it would classify as "flawless" yet, since I've only played a minute or so to make sure the textures showed up.

Also, I had to use a No-CD exe to be able to start the game, since Tages wouldn't install (Bug #10264).

What jumps out at me is that the sound is totally messed up.

Try going back to 1.3.9 and turn off GLSL and see if that work.

If not, then you will need to work out whats going wrong with the sound.

Your welcome, one of fglrx's biggest problems still seems to be GLSL, though it is slowly getting better.

If you need to turn off GLSL an app cant be platinum, maybe gold?

solo2101 · Post by **solo2101** » Mon Dec 27, 2010 9:18 pm

OK... so i got home from work and this is what i did...

1. Read the last posts...(VERY IMPORTANT)...
2. Uninstall wine (the one i compile and install)...
3. Download and install version 1.3.9...
4. Turn off GLSL...(VERY IMPORTANT)...
5. Install game...
6. Install game the update...
7. Run the game...

AND IT WORK!!!!!!
guess that was all that needed to be done. (turn off a little switch...lol), no need to mess with the dlls.

Just for the file...

Specs:
Fedora 14 (Laughlin)
Kernel Linux 2.6.35.10-74.i686
wine 1.3.9
ATI Radeon HD5830 with newer drivers (ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64)

and its running AWESOME....

thank again... really appreciate the help...

True... but I think that if one little application is fix, that fix could also be applied to another... and you never know... that might end up fixing lots of problems... or at least getting close to it.

What's meaningless to most of us is the abbreviation "GRAW" that you used in your initial post. When posting a question, you should give the full name and version of the app so we all know exactly which one you are talking about.

Yes, we would like for you to post the whole output but it is likely
to be quite lengthy. Please post it to a site like pastebin.com and

Regarding the topic of the thread I think they're not that different from each other nowadays. I've been using an ATi graphics card for over a year and it's running pretty well. NVIDIA graphics cards are better. But AMD graphics cards nowadays aren't as bad as they sound. They're nearly equal.

Right, tell that to everyone who bought RAGE game. It still doesn't work properly on most ATI cards. And RAGE is an OpenGL game.

My tests with Super Street Fighter IV:

WinXP wine
Nvidia system: 45-60 fps 45-60 fps
ATI system: 40-60 fps 7-14 fps (unplayable)

And that's why ATI drivers still suck.

It's that ATI/AMD is notoriously not in love with GLX or OpenGL on Linux unless someone makes them stand-up like in the case of Rage in the Windoze world. I'm sure the WineD3D devs have stories of submitting bug reports to ATI.

I recently found out Halo:Combat Evolved and Tomber Raider II and III now have problems. Halo has no colors (black) on menu items and overhead displays, while TR2/3 just crash.

They all work on another PC with exact same configuration except the one working has nVidia GPU and the one not working has ATI GPU.

And the only reason I got ATI is because the video card vendor swapped my nVidia with ATI when nVidia blew the capacitors and they pursuaded me to get a new ATI rather than a refurbished nVidia. Now I feel cheated.

landeel · Post by **landeel** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 12:54 pm

nVidia is so much better for wine.

Sadly, AMD APUs are a much better hardware than nVidia Ions...

The AMD Catalyst drivers (proprietary) are buggy and too slow for wine.

The open-source AMD drivers are even slower, too slow to actually run something in real life.

Only if they had a decent driver...

Honestly, it really depends on the card. Linux and Wine on my previous laptop handles the ATI graphics card really well.

Now I have a laptop with an NVidia GPU but the whole hybrid graphics thing is getting in the way of me being able to use it.
