few option in winecfg, and unable to play morrowind

Post by Strychnine »

Hi,

I was trying to run Morrowind, but I was getting some issues.
According to this page, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=3329 , I assumed that my Intel GM965/GL960 graphic controller can cause some others issues.
So, in order to avoid them, I try to set the vertex shaders support to off, but I was unable to find it in winecfg.

here a screenshot of my "graphics" tab: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/201 ... icstab.png

Also, for Morrowind, I'm getting an error, stuck behind the full loading screen saying "music error: cannot play music file. data files/music/special/Morrowind title mp3", at the end of the "loading data" bar

Please excuse any english mistake, I'm french ^^

You have to set that in the registry. http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

Wine version? If it's not 1.6 or later, upgrade. If this is a problem in current Wine, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Ok, thank you for the response for the registry.

When I try to launch it, I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncursesw.so.5).
but I also get it when I simply launch regedit.

So install it. If you're not sure which package to install, ask your distro.

the problem is that the package is already installed.
I've tried it.

Code: Select all

 [eol@Alya ~]$ sudo pacman -S ncurses
warning: ncurses-5.9-5 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (1):

Name          Old Version  New Version  Net Change

core/ncurses  5.9-5        5.9-5          0.00 MiB

Total Installed Size:   9.75 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0.00 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
It seems to be ok. I've tried reinstalling it, but still not working...

Are you on 64 bit? If so, you also need the 32 bit library.

ok, I am on a 64 bit arch, so I've installed the lib32-ncurses paquages, but Morrowind still don't work...
How could I search into Wine's files to rename a new sound file as "Morrowind titles.mp3", just to try?

EDIT: Wine did not give any error message.

Use your file manager, just like you would any other directory. If you used the default wineprefix (~/.wine) you will have to set it to show hidden files.

There's no terminal output. The game launch, and after the second loading bar, crash, with the error about the audio. But in wine, there's no putput
