Video card or driver doenst support enough textures +

Rindae · Post by **Rindae** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 1:52 pm

I just installed Call of Duty 4, I when I try to start the game I get this message; Video card or driver doenst support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code path.

I've used the same videocard for CoD4 in Windows, and its working fine.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 7600GS card, and installed the drivers via Envy.

Please update wine.

You could also have a look at the appdb page ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=12804 ). There is a nice listing which versions of wine should work out of the box.

How do I update Wine? (new linux user)

What Linux distro do you have? If Debian based (Ubuntu,Kubuntu, Xubuntu,
Debian, Knoppix etc) just try this in your console (as root):

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade - this will update and upgrade all your
packages

OR

apt-get update && apt-get install wine - this will only update wine

If you have other distro - you can either compile wine from source or try to
find suitable (probably .rpm) package.

P.S

If you want newest package for Debian Etch - you will find it at wine.x.pl.

Ok, I've updated Wine and the video drivers. Now I dont get the error, but
the game wont start, I just get the splash screen and nothing happends.

I don't have this particular game... but - try this:

1.Open terminal and cd to game's dir (if you used standard installation
path, is is probably somewhere in Program Files of your drive_c dir)

cd /home/your_user_name/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/something (tip: use
"TAB" button to fo "auto-path" - just type in /h and pres tab - and you will
know what I mean ;] )

2.Now from there try running this thing like this:

wine Name_of_exe.exe

If you are trying to run this game from Fat16/Fat32/NTFS partition - then
try to install or (copy) your game to Linux partition (weird, I know - but
sometimes there are problems - just found out yesterday ;] ). Try running it
now.

If that doesn't help - open winecfg (type winecfg in terminal) go to drives
tab and auto detect them all, go to sound tab - select only ONE driver -
preferably alsa, elect driver emulation and set "acceleration to emulation"
(if alsa was selected switch to oss). Try running the game.

If this doesn't help either - in winecfg go to graphics and disable pixel
and vertex shaders. try running the game.

If that won't help... well I'm out of ideas.

P.S

Paste any console output you will get here, and tell us which distro do you
have.
