HAL Device Initialization Failure

[Avarus]

I get this pop-up that says:

"Your current graphics device does not support the minimum requirements of this game. Please contact Big Fish Games customer support for additional information and assistance."

Well, I have this game for Windows, and it works perfectly. However, I know I'm just taking a chance getting it to work in Linux, but I thought I'd try anyway. The thing is that my computer does meet the min requirements because I play it in Windows.

Is there a way to get Wine to see that my graphics device does meet the requirements? I have an ATI HD Radeon 4250 Acer laptop.

Thanks for any support.

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

What game is this, and have you checked the AppDB for howtos?

I added a PPA and updated and all that. It's Mystery Case Files 9 Shadow Lake. I haven't checked AppDB for how-tos because I have no idea what that is. I'm migrating from Windows to Linux, and it's not very easy or user-friendly to me, I'm afraid.

All I know is that I can play this game on Windows 7, but not in Wine. My Ravenhearst game plays in Windows and Wine, but not the other one. I just don't know why it says my graphics card doesn't meet the min requirements when it does.

The AppDB is where users report their experiences with various apps & games in Wine. There's a link at the top of the forum.

The AppDB has entries for several Mystery Case Files games, but not Shadow Lake.
