Integrated Intel Card Error

Entanglement · Post by **Entanglement** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:11 pm

I'm running an integrated Intel Video Card 3400 series, and when I try to run Steam apps, they crash after I connect (these are all multiplayer games) and wine gives me this error:

Code: Select all

failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer

This error was already reported 3 times, and the solution to them has been to edit the registry using 'regedit' and then editing Direct3D's folder by adding in "VideoMemorySize" and setting it equal to the MB of the given video card, so for me it was 256.

Unfortunately, even after doing so I get the same error when I try to run the program, specifically Team Fortress 2, but Left 4 Dead has given me the same error as well.

Does anybody know another solution to this?

TBH get a new video card? Integrated Intel Cards are not very well
supported on linux. Also, if i'm not mistaken, isn't their OpenGL
support/API kinda behind, so it won't support OpenGL calls that are needed
to be made?

I know with Trine for linux, to get it to work on linux you gotta do some
crazy things, just because of the support of them is very lacking.

Currently I can't get a different video card. As a college student I'm a little low on cash, which is why I was hoping that maybe this video card was supported and I could get some help.

If it means anything, Guild Wars (another program I run under Wine) works fine with -dx8 and -noshaders

The problem is I believe Steam automatically tries to use dx9. I might be

mistaken, but since all games purchased with steam require steam, I think
steam may force dx9. You could try to force dx8, but not sure how to do
that with steam. Just did a quick google:

*-dxlevel <level>* - Forces a specific DirectX
version<http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... X_Versions> when
launching the engine. This is useful if your graphics card is DirectX 9
capable, but a lot faster using only DirectX 8 (e.g. NVidia GeForce FX
5200). Multiply the desired DirectX version to use with ten. E.g. for
DirectX 8.0 you would use -dxlevel 80. For DX9 there are three possible
values depending on the Shader Model the graphics card supports. See
mat_dxlevel <http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Mat_dxlevel>.

From http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... ne_Options looks like
you can also force the shader thing. Give it a try.

And I've been there man. However, if you got like $25 you can get a 512mb
nvidia 8400 new, and if you don't mind used, I've seen some GTS 2xx go for
like $10 + $5 shipping before. But i understand no cash situation.
