HexTCG Fails to work with Nvidia Graphics Card

[JeffHoogland]

So I am trying to get HexTCG working on my new computer under wine. On my laptop it works OOTB with zero adjustments. On my new system it just crashes out when trying to launch the actual game from the launcher. The difference between the systems is that the working one has an Intel graphics cards and the not working has an nvidia card with closed source drivers. I have confirmed 3D drivers are working on the system in question by playing some native Linux games (Left 4 Dead 2)

Any ideas on things I can try?

Wine version? Post terminal output.

Sorry about that - had been using Wine 1.8.1 - upgraded to Wine 1.9.4 and the game launches now, but all the in game text is missing.

Must have some supporting library installed on my other PC perhaps that lets it render the text properly?

Ninja Edit: Other relevant system information is Ubuntu 14.04 based OS that is 64bit.

I still need to see terminal output.

Let me know what other information is useful.

I actually downloaded the game and tested it myself, and got the same result. Disabling d3d11 in winecfg enables the text to display. As to why that wasn't necessary on your system with Intel graphics, I suspect the game detects that it doesn't support DX11 and falls back automatically to DX9, whereas it tries to use DX11 on Nvidia.

That did it - awesome! Updating the AppDB entry for Hex now. Thank you very much for the help!
