[Game] Sacred messes up graphics

[Arivor]

Hello all,

I'm trying to run Sacred Gold on a notebook under wine. It works fine in the menus, but completely messes up any 3D graphics. I tried to attach a screenshot, but the file is too big. Basically, it looks like black rectangles emerging from every object and spreading over the entire screen, with splashes of colour where they intersect.

I'm running wine 1.5.24 and Sacred Gold/Underworld on Fedora 17. My notebook only has an Intel chipset for the graphics, but so did my old notebook which ran the game just fine.
I tried installing a new DirectX version via winetricks, but I don't see any difference.

Is there any additional information I can provide? Wine doesn't give me any unusual errors, just a bunch of default stuff (I think):

My notebook only has an Intel chipset for the graphics, but so did my old notebook which ran the game just fine.

Do you mean your old notebook ran the game just fine in Wine? If so, were graphics chipset and driver version identical to the ones you are now using in your new notebook? Just because they are both Intel does not mean they are the same.

Yes, it did run in Wine. It was an older version of Wine, though, and a slightly older graphics chipset. I just thought it reassuring that it's actually possible without a graphics card. Regrettably though, I don't remember if I had to tweak any additional settings to get it working back then.
