Problem Running a game called Gothic

Post by TwiztidJ »

So, I am having a problem running this game I installed in the virtual drive created by Wine. I am new to running anything through wine. My current OS is Ubuntu 10.04 and the version of Wine that I am using is 1.1.43. The game seems to crash before I can even open it. This is the information I have so far:

Gothic I and II both run (nearly) flawlessly on Wine. The last of the above messages indicate that you're running X in 32-bit depth, and the game is attempting to use 16bpp. However, it looks like you're also using Intel graphics; this may not work with the Gothic games, even though they're somewhat old. I played through the first Gothic in Wine (from gog.com) on a Mac with a GMA 3100, but I'm not sure if the Intel Linux graphics drivers are comparable to those of OS X. It performed a bit slow-ish, but good enough for my taste.

Ubuntu has a bit of information on this with a link to a forum post; note that this is a distro-specific post and you'll need to follow up with the Ubuntu folks if you have trouble. Not sure this specifically applies to 10.04 either, or will help/hurt your setup.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine# ... %20to%20XX

Basically you need to add any resolutions you'd like to use with Gothic in 16bpp depth to your X config.

Cool, thank you for your time, you have been very helpful.

If anyone has more information to add to this, please feel free. Unfortunately, I am trying to get this to run on a laptop so I can't change any hardware but if there is any way at all to work with the intel graphics setup, I would really be grateful to hear the information. I am a going to continue my search to find any information on this matter.

Again, thank you ryan woodsmall for providing me with that information.

So, I was reading the tech specs of this laptop and the graphics card on this machine is ATI X1400 128MB. The Motherboard, however, is an Intel Calistoga i945GM/PM.
