Medieval 2 Britannia

Post by Haydn »

I launch Medieval 2 Britannia in wine version 4.11 (32 bit prefix) and the result is:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.mtw2 wineconsole kingdoms_britannia.bat

Can I fix it ?

Probably...
  • Can you re-run your test with:

    Code: Select all

    export WINEDEBUG=+loaddll,+module,+wgl
export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.mtw2"
wineconsole kingdoms_britannia.bat
  • What are the contents of the Windows batch file: kingdoms_britannia.bat?
  • What's the output from:

    Code: Select all

    glxinfo -B
  • Are you using an DLL overrides on that WINEPREFIX?
Thanks

The output is too verbose, I create the file Test and attached

I use none Dll overrides, because the tests available on AppDb are outdated.

Please maximally compress the log file, with something like:

Code: Select all

xz -9 -e wine_4.11_medival_loaddll_module_wgl_log.txt
You'll then want to host the compressed log on Google Drive, Mega, etc.
The WineHQ forum has a ≤ 200 Kbyte attachment limit.

Using the Noveau driver, with Wine, can be problematic.
I presume your graphics card is something like a: Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS ??
Do any Windows games work on that card (with the Noveau graphics driver), when using Wine?

You might get better results with the legacy Nvidia proprietary driver: 340.107.
That will still work, with a LTS kernel version (< 4.18).

@Haydn

From your log file...
Some potential overrides to try are:

Code: Select all

winetricks vcrun2003
and/or

Code: Select all

winetricks d3dcompiler_47 d3dx9
based on what libraries - the game is trying to load...

How did you install the Nvidia driver?
Downloading and using the Nvidia installer directly tends to break things, badly!
Using a Linux Distribution packaged version of the nvidia driver, is highly recommended!!

I don't even know what Linux Distribution you are running...
So I can't really offer any further advice, on the graphics driver issue.
Obviously you'd want to check the output from:

Code: Select all

glxinfo -B
is something sensible.

What's the terminal output, from the game, with the Nvidia proprietary driver installed?
With the same WINEDEBUG variable set (as before):

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=+loaddll,+module,+wgl
Thanks

Ok, I recreate a fresh 32 bit bottle with same name.
