Lighthouse:The Dark Being - crashed or hung (0.9.56)

Post by Mark Knecht »

Hi,
I've now seen this same error twice. I'm playing the game and
suddenly everything hangs. Ctrl-C kills the game and I'm back to the
terminal.

Before I report a bug I'm wondering if there are any settings in
winecfg I should try? The game's setup program asks if I wanted to
enable DirectX 8 features in the game. I could reinstall the game with
those turned off it it's likely to be a contributing factor. Better if
I can just disable them somehow.

I see some reports of this error message in Bugzilla and also some
reports that it's improved using OpenGL. How do I do that?

Thanks,
Mark
