Stratosphere - Conquest of the Skies game blacks out screen.

[Buckwheat469]

Stratosphere is an old game for Windows 95-98. When played in Wine it will act like it's starting up, then completely blank out the primary screen. The secondary screen will stay open and I can press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and kill the Stratos.exe task, which recovers the screen.

I also attempted to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP and Vista, but the mouse is very sensitive in the game, making it unusable since the menus can't be navigated. This could help in understanding the very old driver adapters this game has.

I don't know what I'm asking, mainly that I liked the game and would like to play it once more. Is there any way to make Stratosphere work again? If not, maybe I can use the idea to build a new version.

Thanks.

Try virtual desktop mode (enable via winecfg).

[Buckwheat469]

Thank you. Wine reported "Cannot find a D3D device driver which is compatible with the specified fullscreen mode." I'll search the forums for a similar message. Google turned up no results so far.

Wine reported "Cannot find a D3D device driver which is compatible with the specified fullscreen mode."

Funny, I searched for "cannot find a d3d device fullscreen mode" and this post came up, addressing EXACTLY the game I'm trying to play.

I thought that this D3D stuff was supported by wine (I'm using crossover, for Mac).

Is there any information about how to make the fullscreen issue go away so I can play Stratosphere! I bought an old copy from Amazon, so it shouldn't be a copy protection issue (duh!)

Any help on the way?

You need to contact CodeWeavers for CrossOver support. We cannot and do
not support it.

You will need to file a support issue with them on this Windows program.

James

[Buckwheat469]

Has there been any update for this issue in Wine since I posted the terminal messages? I'm not using CrossOver support such as hadj, so my issue should still be valid.

Best regards.

[dimesio]

That log was posted 9 months ago; of course a lot of things have changed in Wine since then. If you haven't tested the latest development version, do so.

[Buckwheat469]

The issue has not been resolved in wine-1.2.2 with Linux Mint.

To test I ran the program with wine in standard desktop mode, which blacked out the screen, as it did before. Then I enabled virtual desktop for 800x600 screen resolution and it gave the same d3d error.

Graphics settings:
| | Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse
X Allow window manager to decorate
X Allow window manager to control
| | Emulate a virtual desktop

Vertex Shader: Hardware
X Allow pixel shader

96dpi screen resolution

[doh123]

The issue has not been resolved in wine-1.2.2 with Linux Mint.

And thats surprising...? 1.2.2 is still quite old now. Try 1.3.28

[Buckwheat469]

And thats surprising...?

Please keep commentary to a minimum.

wine-1.3.26 does the exact same thing.

[dimesio]

wine-1.3.26 does the exact same thing.

Test in 1.3.28 and post terminal output if the problem is still there.

[Buckwheat469]

Wine 1.3.28 will configure properly after all dependencies have been installed (and a couple of hours of crunching), and it acts like it installs with 'make install' but it doesn't seem to do anything.

For now, until the beta packages in the PPA have been updated, I will hold off on installing 1.3.28.

The error with 1.3.26 still stands.

[Buckwheat469]

The installation trouble I had with Wine 1.3.28 is not part of this issue. Please keep to the problem at hand. I've supplied the terminal log from 1.3.26. If this is not sufficient then we will have to continue this when 1.3.28 merges into the PPA repository.

[dimesio]

I've supplied the terminal log from 1.3.26.

And you've been asked a question based on that log. I suggest you answer it.

The drive is an internal drive that's mounted within the /media directory. The drive is called Eris. It contains my user account's home folder.

Did you cd to that directory before running the exe?

[Buckwheat469]

Yes. I right-clicked in Nautilus and chose open terminal, then I ran wine through the terminal, as well as testing with the same results when I right-clicked on the icon and chose to run it in Wine.

There could be a parallel there. Thank you dimesio for finding this. Is there anything I can do to provide more complete output or logs that can help determine if this is related?

Regards.
