hi guys

I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch).

My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my GC isn't supported by the game.

Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the game?

did you launch the game using the -safe flag?

wine Sporebin/Sporebin.exe -safe

Yes, I tried it.
First there comes the alert:

The system is below our min spec, and we cannot run at all.

than a secound one:

Running in safe mode

than the game ends.

Do you think, that the graphiccard-alert is no error, but only a warning and the stoping of the game has another reason?

If you're 100% sure that the game will run on your card in Windows, and it fails in wine, i'd say open a bug in bugzilla.

Attach the input from logfiles (the file d3d.log) created by running

WINEDEBUG=+d3d_caps wine Sporebin.exe &>d3d.log

and from glxinfo.
