Problems with Blood Bowl

[TobiasB]

Hello!
im trying to get the game blood bowl to run on Ubuntu 9.04 - Wine 1.1.27

i followed the advice on the AppDB site and in the games forum http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/v ... 25&p=43611

the game keeps crashing after the splash screen when it tries to active the renderer. im a bit concerned about the fact that of all the reg settings mentioned in the comments on AppDB only the "PixelShaderMode" was there at the start.
I created all the other values ("DirectDrawRenderer","Multisampling","OffscreenRenderingMode" and "UseGLSL"), but it seems to be without effect.
Especially "UseGLSL", witch should allow to start the game when set to "disabled" (see above link) does not change anything.

so here is my question finally:
can i just add stuff to the wine registry?
if not, what packages should i install to get the needed values?

thanks for the help and sorry for the bad english!

can i just add stuff to the wine registry?

Yes, you can.

[TobiasB]

Yes, you can.

thanks for the help.
the changes i made in the registry showed no effect, so maybe i did something wrong?

i added

Code: Select all

"DirectDrawRenderer"="OpenGL"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"

in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D

are they in the right place there?

Code: Select all

"DirectDrawRenderer"="OpenGL"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"

All these are defaults, so there was no change to the way Wine works.

[TobiasB]

But is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D

the right place for them? because if i change UseGLSL to "disabled" there is no change in behavior as was mentioned in http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/v ... 25&p=43611.

thanks for the fast reply!

But is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D the right place for them?

Yes. Why it has no affect - don't know, could be your drivers are not properly installed. Or your hardware/drivers don't support GLSL.

[TobiasB]

ah f***, i havent thought of that. i use a Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, witch doesnt support GLSL. well, thanks for your help!

Befor make HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
You need regedit some value , open terminal nano directx.reg

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX]
"InstalledVersion"="hex:00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00"
"Version"="4.09.00.0904"

After thas use regedit directx.reg , now you can edit string values


PS 7800 support GLSL

i use a Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, witch doesn't support GLSL.

It actually does... All nVidia cards with GPUs which are still supported (GF 6x+) do support GLSL. Even GF 5x had some limited support.

Are you running your game in a different WINEPREFIX by any chance?

[TobiasB]

OK, now its official, im not able to use google
please type slowly from now on!

@ vitamin: i havent changed the WINEPREFIX, so it should be default.

@love2hate:
you have to walk me through this quite slowly, this is what i did:

I saved a file directx.reg containing

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX]
"InstalledVersion"="hex:00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00"
"Version"="4.09.00.0904"

to /home/.wine

then in terminal i did

Code: Select all

wine regedit

and changed the settings to



and



still when i do

Code: Select all

cd .wine/drive_c/Programme/Cyanide/Blood\ Bowl/
wine bb.exe

it crashes with

Code: Select all

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000008 at address 0xd86d18 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000008 in 32-bit code (0x00d86d18).
Register dump:

[TobiasB]

the second screeny should have been



sorry!

[love2hate]

/home/.wine ?!!!! you want just say /home/youruser/.wine ? xD
OK second screen say you fail !!!!

Make directx.reg ( if you want under .wine folder) after you just need

Code: Select all

regedit .wine/directx.reg

Simple way make directx.reg in your home , open termial

Code: Select all

regedit directx.reg

Now you can make another values (fbo and more.. ) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
For the first launch you need disable GLSL , go turn off shadow in game option , now you can enable GLSL
PS sorry for my poor english

[Soulcage]

Fyi some of the settings are set to default now like OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo.
You should check out http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

Have you read what I said? Do people ever read someone else's posts on forums?
