Help running Lords of the Realm 2 in AMD64

[Envite]

Hello all:

Probably it's me doing something badly, but I'm running Lords of the Realm 2 in my AMD64 Debian squeeze box and it sounds, but I don't get any image: just a black screen or a black window.

Running wine in a Konsole shows this:

Code: Select all

err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat.
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x1f3460,0x1f3360): stub

and then the game intro starts to sound but I see nothing.

'wine --version' says 'wine-1.1.32'

Thanks

'wine --version' says 'wine-1.1.32'

That's old. Upgrade to the latest development release.

it actually works fine for me even back in 1.1.32, or current.. but yes upgrade.

It will not launch right unless you actually cd into the folder at a command line and wine lords2.exe directly... or use start.exe to launch it.

I'm launching it right from the proper folder. I've tried too using the installed Menu entry, with the same results.

There is no start.exe in that folder.

Thanks

I meant start.exe that is part of wine...

wine start /unix /path/to/the/game/lords2.exe

not sure that will help in your situation... but it does launch the game fine for me.

The only other thing I can think of from your errors is that its having a problem with your graphics drivers... have you run the game in a virtual desktop? Does your X server handle scaling the bit depth? The game wants 8bpp, but it will run with 16bpp with a warning when a game starts... if your X server is only set up to handle 32bpp, then the game cannot run.
