[Bug 16117] New: Creatures 3 Won't Run
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16117 Summary: Creatures 3 Won't Run Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://www.gamewaredevelopment.co.uk/creatures_index.php OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: Gwaeraurond(a)yahoo.com A game by cyberlife, "Creatures 3" will install, and will prompt for a CD, it will even (somehow) create an AOL shortcut on my Ubuntu 8.10 desktop but when I go to actually run the game, my machine makes a sound like it's running it then it just stops and doesn't run the game at all. The game is a fairly old game, needing Direct X 7 to run. My best guess would be that the version of Direct X that comes with WINE just won't run it but being that it is so old I can't imagine why not. I dual boot between Ubuntu and Windows XP Home, and Windows XP will run the game just fine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Please attach terminal output.
I launched from the Shortcut made under WINE. I don't know how to launch it in the terminal. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

What Wine version? http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4
I don't know. Only that it was the only version available in Synaptic Package Manager. But I do know it is a version that can run .exe files without the command prompt because I have been able to open other .exe Actually, I think the problem running Creatures 3 is related to a specific game requirement. You can't just double-click engine.exe and get it to work, even in windows. In windows it requires that the shortcut to specify an autokill switch but shortcuts in Ubuntu seem to work differently. This is the error message I now get: NLE0007: You must specify a game name in the command line. For example, Creatures 3 or Creatures Adventures For soak tests, specify --autokill before the game name to kill agents which generate run time errors. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16117 --- Comment #5 from Elliander <Gwaeraurond(a)yahoo.com> 2008-11-20 14:47:33 --- I made some progress. When WINE installs Creatures 3 it creates the autokill command within the shortcuts. But since that doesn't work in Linux the game just won't work. WINE really needs to be able to detect commands in shortcuts and replace them with working equivalents on install. I solved that problem by replacing --autokill with nocheck However, now I have a new problem. The game requires High Color 16-bit to run and Ubuntu doesn't seem to have a way to switch that. I found a command: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf where I could manually change a 24 to 16. But it didn't work. And even if I do find it, why can't WINE just have a program run in predefined settings each time? Anyway, still can't get Creatures 3 to run now because of this problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

After manually changing all shortcuts from saying --autokill to nocheck the game will start up. However, as it starts up it crashes. I get an error message. The error is labeled: "Window::DoStartUp" And it says: "Failed to create server thread Mon Nov 24 00:16:36 2008 - elliander - 1.162" I don't understand why but I am still unable to get Creatures 3 to run in WINE. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.22 or newer) wine?
I have wine 1.1.26, running the game with 16 bits desktop, and have exactly the same error : "Failed to create server thread" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The game worked for me 1.1.18, but in 1.1.32 I can't get this or any other game to work with opengl + 16 bit color. I get these errors:
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat. err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
If it still works with 1.1.18, please do a regression test. Usually that message means your OpenGL setup is broken though. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

There's a bug in the init code that prevents the format info from being initialized if opengl is not available. So a quick fix for you is to fix your OpenGL setup, and I'll try to get the format init working without opengl. Up until now initializing the dynamic format entries with GL only was by design, since the flags only contained GL specific stuff. Maybe we'll have to move some flags to the non-gl format template table. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
