Trying to get an old game running, I believe requires DX

Post by altiris »

So I have this old game I used to play as a kid I want to put on my PC for my younger kids to play. Its called Alex Builds His Farm. I believe the game uses directX. I can install the game but when I try to launch it I get this

Code: Select all

System information:
    Wine build: wine-1.7.47 (Staging)
    Platform: i386 (WOW64)
    Host system: Linux
    Host version: 4.1.2-2-ARCH
The game is only about 400mb, I don't know if its considered piracy (the game is old and isn't sold in stores anymore) but I could put a download link for the game to help testing if that is allowed/acceptable.

Wine-staging is not supported here. Please retest in plain Wine. Since this is apparently a very old game, I also recommend testing in a 32 bit wineprefix, and experimenting with older versions of Windows in winecfg.

Only post links to legal downloads. The fact that it is old and not sold any more does not mean you can redistribute it.

I have tried wine-staging and wine 1.7.48 and same issue. I have not tried using different Windows settings however or any other older wine version that that. I will not upload anything then.
