Direct* Games (?) only showing grey screens on Wine

Code: Select all

(process:15812): GThread-WARNING **: GThread system no longer supports custom thread implementations.

That's https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30557. I thought the Ubuntu Wine packages included unsupported patches to work around that, but perhaps I was wrong. The workaround for plain Wine is to disable winegstreamer and install native quartz, possibly devenum, and whatever Windows codecs are needed.

Okay, but I'm not sure what windows codecs I would need. I've disabled gstreamer, and added quartz, but I'm getting the same issue. Though the gstreamer errors don't show anymore.

I noticed the first line mentions "DEP", some windows games stop working because of DEP, so maybe DEP is the problem, or part of it? How would I resolve it on wine?

SetProcessDEPPolicy is unimplemented, so if that's the problem, there's nothing you can do about it. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24125

Ah... Well, I guess I'm going to have to boot into Windows for that game.. unless the problem could be something else?

Install a codec pack such as K-Lite or CCCP.

[Cobra!]

Okay, I installed K-Lite 10.6.5. The game still has the same issues.

Isn't K-Lite a video codec? Somehow, I doubt that's the issue with the game, as it doesn't have any video whatsoever, so I don't see how a video codec can cause mouse issues?

Either way, here's the terminal output for the game when testing it:

Winegstreamer wouldn't be loaded if there were no video. It might just be an intro video. But you're right about that probably not being the cause of the mouse problem. Sorry, I didn't realize this one was about mouse issues; I thought this was about the gray screen on start. The mouse problem with Robot Arena is a known bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10744.

It was MOHAA with the gray screen bug, sorry about the confusion. Though MOHAA has a few videos running at the beginning, so I applied the fixes you suggested, but that still didn't work, unfortunetly, so I looked around online, and found a way to make the game skip the intro videos alltogether, but it still crashed on me. I have a feeling that the DEP issue is the problem, but is there anything else I can try before I can jump to that conclusion?

Unfortunetly, that is a bug for the first Robot Arena, it is Robot Arena 2 I am trying to run... I can't find any RA2 bugs reported, though. Should I report one myself?
