Wine Game Choppy

[mibix]

Hello,

I'm trying to get rollercoaster tycoon 2 running on wine. I've had other things working, but this is the first game I've tried. I think I've narrowed it down to an openGL issue.

The game loads fine, but it's very choppy, both audio and video. I've tried various settings, and libs like libgl1-mesa-glx & libgl1-mesa-dev. Nothing else produces video, so I've tried libgl1-mesa-swx11 and I've got sound and video, but choppy.

I don't think my laptop can do hardware rendering. It's an intel 855.

Can anyone decipher my errors?

Thanks,
mibix

Here's what the terminal is saying....

I've sort of sorted the problem. I've found this rollback script from Intel, and ran the game with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 wine rct2.exe. I then disabled audio completely as this was crashing the game.

Not a solution, but it works (silently)!

@mibix,

Not really a problem I can help with - I don't use Intel integrated graphics on any of my machines. Your best bet is to go on to the Ubuntu Forums or Ask Ubuntu get your OpenGL up to scratch (if you can for such a weak/old card). You may also need a intel-dri package??!! It's not really a Wine issue. Make sure you have 32-bit multilib/multiarch packages if you are running a 64-bit OS (also not specified).

You probably also need a libpulse-32bit library to get your sound working (again not sure about this Ubuntu-specific issue) - if you are using a 64-bit Ubuntu (/derivative). Again I would recommend to get distro specific support for this (packaging) issue.

Even though this card can only support OpenGL 1.3 I believe that's enough to run such a graphically undemanding game via Wine.

Regarding the audio, the console output you posted indicates you are using the winepulse driver, which is not part of plain Wine and not supported here. If sound is crashing your game, you should report the problem to the package maintainer, Maarten Lankhorst.

[Simon of Aragon]

Early on when I experience sound drops and issues I purged my pulse audio. I use 100% ALSA. You can try it and if you don't like it you can always reload the pulse audio.
