If I could install 3DMark®99 MAX Free Version from bug #7210 and try just changing the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\ to 4.6.1.0. If that makes it run I would mark this as a duplicate of that bug and would ask for it to be reopened. -- 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 demo does not work out of box on Windows 7, and none of the Windows compatibility versions allows the game to start, so I think the bug can be considered invalid. -- 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.

Don't forget Wine is not Windows. It's not a buggy application just not very future proof, just like a game/app that needs Windows 98 and setting that in Winecfg is okay. But having DirectX 9 on the old and unsupported by Microsoft, is that okay? -- 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.

Arguably, the demo's broken decoding of a DirectX version string from the registry, which might not even be the sanctioned method in the first place, is buggy. I feel that having compatibility knobs modeled on similar functionality on Windows is perfectly fine, but you can't have changes in Wine that totally contradict what Windows actually has/does. That said, you're perfectly entitled to make whatever local changes you please to your Wine prefix. I just don't think it makes sense to change the DirectX registry version string in Wine contrary to what Windows ever had. -- 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.

All this games needs for it to work is a version string within the range of 4.06 and 4.07. -- 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.

How would that work? DirectX 9 was supported for Windows 98 and DirectX 8 for Windows 95. If you want a workaround, perhaps a feature request to winetricks to fudge the DirectX version would be an easy alternative. -- 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 is an easy workaround which is to change the registry (works on both XP and wine). One could argue this is WONTFIX but I think it's invalid because it happens in native too. -- 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.
