(Linux Mint) Apache Havoc & Enemy Engaged - Black Screen

Post by Turrican2k »

The said games only show a black screen after the start and nothing happens. Keys don't work either, you have to turn off the computer and restart it. I can't see where the error is in the terminal. This happens to me on two different Linux systems. How to get these games to run on Wine?

Run the game with a virtual desktop.

Code: Select all

wine winecfg
  → Graphics
    → Check "Emulate a virtual desktop"
    → Set "Desktop size"

Does the whole computer still freeze or can you see the error messages now?

The screen is black and the key combination doesn't work either, but the screen saver starts after 15 minutes. It's peculiar. No, I can't read an error message.

How big did you make the virtual desktop?
Is all of your screen black or just the "Default - Wine desktop" screen?
Can you go back to other windows with ALT-TAB? Or stop the game with Ctrl-X?
Can you start the game with the /3dreset option?

Code: Select all

# cd /to/the/apache havoc/directory/Aphavoc
wine aphavoc.exe /3dreset

Can you answer these questions?

And can you tell more about your computer?
- Linux Mint version
- Wine version
- GPU name and driver
