Rotarye · Post by **Rotarye** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 12:15 am

I ran HL2 with Wine 1.1.26 by on OpenSolaris snv118. using P4C 2.4G, 2.5GB RAM, GF6200 (VRAM:256MB).

Compiling Wine with gcc-4.3.2 from these parameters:-O2 -march=native.

I had tried the settings to Win98, XP, 2K8; disable the audio driver(only OSS suppotts); Wine / MS DX; and Fullscreen / Window.

When I start the game, it response with a long time to my operation. the terminal mainly showed me:

Code: Select all

[color=red]fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log
...
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DVolumeImpl_LockBox
...
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_SetRenderTarget (7fedcf28)Trying to set the render target to a surface(7ff3fe30) that wasn't created with a usage of WINED3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET
...
fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log Error received from GLSL shader
...
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_load_ds_location (7fef0c60) Not supported with fixed up depth stencil[/color]

Thanks;)

Try parameters -nointro or -dxlevel 81 - 95 (81 usually works better) for the exe

It's non effect by 95, but 81 has worked!

BTW, Did I still need to -nointro or not?

Thanks so much;)

-nointro skips the intro videos that can cause crashes or freezing some times =)

Good it worked. DX 90-95 has better quality tho, but they dont yet work quite good with source games and wine.

Try this patch, although it might cause other graphic issues it will allow you to use DX9 (I haven't tested it myself) :
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21072 - the patch
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12453 - the bug report

You can also try this patch, that worked with wine-1.1.15 (and a few releases after).Worked great with Portal and HL2:ep1/2.
Doesn't work with newer wine releases, however.

And if you want sucky graphics but an awesome performance you can always use -dxlevel 70.

I use that to try and prevent my PC from overheating...
