Dear community,
I am wondering what is my mistake. Since I got my new hardware components I didn't manage it to get a game running through WINE. My configuration is the following:
- current git WINE (compiled 30 minutes ago)
- Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid AMD64 (64 bit edt.)
- AMD ATi Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card
- ATI Catalyst / fglrx driver
A friend gave me his copy of Far Cry 2 and Sacred 2 (both games brand new) to try an installation in wine (That's what I always try before I even think of buying a game). After all both installations run through smoothly, and only minor changes are necessary to start the game. (few directx dlls etc.)
Far Cry only shows me a black screen, but I can hear the game/intro sound clearly.
Sacred 2 shows the "sacred-intro" with major lags in sound and screen update. After it's done the game is still lagging, but the game sound is more stable. But I again only see a black screen...
I remember when I used the same hardware with older wine (1.1.4?) and installed Sacred 1 (old version) I got the same behaviour. So I assume there's a problem with my configuration... It's really annoying, and now I decided to ask you here for help.
Thanks for your comments!
Cheers,
Daniel
All games, black screen = configuration problem?
Yesterday I tried Counter Strike 1.6 from Steam, and it freezes as soon you should see the welcome message of the server. It shows "precashing resources" and there it stays two minutes until it crashes to the desktop. So, there is no game working for me any more indeed. Guess this may be a issue of fglrx?
Suggestions?
Suggestions?
Have you tried AppDB?If its a recent version of wine,it might have regression errors(i.e stuff that worked before might not work now).If AppDB does not help,try using winedbg instead of wine to run the exe file,i.e:
Type the command 'next' at each 'wine-dbg>' prompt,save the full output on the terminal and post it to Bugzilla.Hopefully AppDB alone will solve ur problem.
Code: Select all
$ winedbg "C:\Program Files\Game Dir\Game.exe"
