How to run 3D Studio 7

Post by dc_wmj »

I used crossover to install 3DSMax 7 in ubuntu. Unlike other versions, this one is known to run with wine (and crossover). Even though the software indeed is starting and running, I'm facing trouble with directx and my ATI-graphics-card now: The viewports just don't refresh (see screenshot below). Changing to OpenGL causes ubuntu to freeze. Software-rendering doesn't work either. Are there any tricks I could try to get directx to work somehow? I of course installed the newest version (directx 9.0) in crossover already.

This website is showing a lot of registry-tweaks to adjust the graphics-settings in wine. However, I just don't know where to begin - the list is really long. Which component could cause the graphics-issues? Should I better try some settings in the catalyst-driver instead? Someone please help.

Crossover is not supported here; they have their own support channels. This forum is for plain Wine.

Crossover is running with wine. The problems are rooted here.

Crossover uses a modified version of Wine that is not supported here. They provide their own support, included in the cost of the program. http://www.codeweavers.com/support/
