Wine-Winetricks-Directx Tomb Raider Underworld

[skyxn3t]

Greetings to all,

I've installed Tomb Raider Underworld, but when I tried to play I got the following message:

Code: Select all

"Tomb Raider: Underworld Error"
"This game requires a DirectX9.0c capable graphics card. your card or driver does not support DirectX9.0c 3D Acceleration."

I've winetricks installed and I installed: "d3dx9", "physx" and I still get the same message. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Note: Tomb Raider has been tested by users and it works on wine, there are some youtube videos as well as entries in WineHQ that say it worked, my problem is the Directx message that I get that would not let me start the game.

forgot to mention here's my gpu specs:

Operating System: Fedora 13, Linux-x86_64

Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 260M
Memory: 1024MB
Memory Interface: 256-bit

Does using a native dxdiagn.dll file (http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-fil ... nload.html) help? Download this file and put it in the windows/system32 directory of the prefix where your game is installed.

That did not help, I still get that message.

When I tried to execute the game using the Terminal these are the messages that I got, they might help:

Code: Select all

Then After that I receive the dialog box:

Never run Wine as root. Follow these instructions to fix the permissions mess you've created: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa ... 78b0d41014

It wasn't root, look at the dollar sign:
[troot@work Tomb Raider - Underworld]$ wine tru.exe

My user name is troot, copy paste problem I removed the t in front of the root.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, do you have any idea what might be causing the DirectX problem in wine?

You are probably missing 32 bit opengl.

How do I install Opengl 32 in Fedora 13 x64? I googled but didn't find anything.

yum.

Did you add the 32 bit repository?

yum install opengl says that package opengl does not exist.

yum install opengl says that package opengl does not exist.

I don't use Fedora so I don't know exactly what the package is named, but "nvidia" is probably part of it.

Try: "yum list '*opengl*'" which shows several matches. Then use "yum
info packagename" to determine which package(s) you need to install. As
always, "man yum" is your friend.

Same problem, fixed by checking what i686 packages for nvidia were available:

Code: Select all

yum list *nvidia*.i686

Then doing the following as root:

Code: Select all

yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

Hope this helps
