[Bug 27002] New: Shadow Company: Left for Dead fails with "No usable 3D Devices installed".
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Oct. 3, 2025

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27002 Summary: Shadow Company: Left for Dead fails with "No usable 3D Devices installed". Product: Wine Version: 1.3.18 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: cfiend(a)talent.edu.pl Shadow Company: Left for Dead shows a messagebox with text "No usable 3D Devices installed. Exiting." on startup. Googling for more information suggests that it needs a Glide wrapper to work. However, I failed to get the game working with either OpenGlide, dgVoodoo and Zeckensack's Glide Wrapper. Tried putting dll files in game dir, in windows/system32 dir, setting overrides in winecfg, running on a virtual desktop and many different combinations of the above on two machines: one equipped with Intel graphics card, the other with rather old (~5 years) NVidia GeForce graphics card running binary blob drivers. Wine console output spews a few fixmes about EnumDisplayDevicesW stub. Attaching log below. Failure occurs in full version as well as in demo version of the game. Link to demo version: http://www.fileplanet.com/10258/download/Shadow-Company-Demo I'll gladly provide additional information on request. -- 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.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43124 Bug ID: 43124 Summary: FlashWindowEx: WM_NCACTIVATE behavior is incorrect Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: user32 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: gamax92(a)aol.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 58328 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=58328 FlashWindowEx dwFlags parameter tests Depending on the dwFlags parameter, FlashWindowEx may send a WM_NCACTIVATE message with the wrong wParam value. Some flags should not send a WM_NCACTIVATE message at all. Attached is a document I've made from testing FlashWindowEx with various flags and having the window active/inactive. This issue seems to be related to Overwatch losing focus on respawn, it calls FlashWindowEx with dwFlags = 0xE (FLASHW_TIMERNOFG + FLASHW_TRAY), which according to my tests should send a WM_NCACTIVATE message with 1, but wine sends 0 instead. Forcing FlashWindowEx to send TRUE instead did resolve the loss of focus. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 49195] New: Multiple 4k demoscene OpenGL demos crash on startup (failure to lookup atom 0xC019 'static' from global atom tables)

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49195 Bug ID: 49195 Summary: Multiple 4k demoscene OpenGL demos crash on startup (failure to lookup atom 0xC019 'static' from global atom tables) Product: Wine Version: 5.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: user32 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: focht(a)gmx.net Distribution: --- Hello folks, extracted from bug 48898 My comment: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48898#c12 --- quote --- To me it looks like bug 18490 ("Multiple games fail to set pixel format on D3D device context created on desktop window (Empire: Total War, Napoleon: Total War, Utopia City)") but for GL device context on the desktop window. According to online information it's not allowed to do any rendering using this context but enough to call functions like glGetString() etc. Maybe some of the Wine graphics folks could weigh in with an opinion if this limitation is already known / tracked in a bug? --- quote --- Henri's answer: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48898#c13 --- quote --- I'm not aware of an existing bug report for this issue, no. It does strike me as similar to bug 36506 though, and it would not particularly surprise me if wglGetProcAddress() is supposed to return results consistent with GL_EXTENSIONS/GL_VERSION here, even without a current GL context. I seem to recall having established in the context of bug 18490 that creating a GL context (or more specifically, setting a pixel format) on the desktop window is indeed supposed to fail. In any case, this seems like of of those bugs that would benefit from tests to establish what's supposed to happen. --- quote --- Turns out this was a side-effect of an earlier problem.

[Bug 53767] New: vbscript fails to handle ReDim when variable is not yet created

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53767 Bug ID: 53767 Summary: vbscript fails to handle ReDim when variable is not yet created Product: Wine Version: 7.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: vbscript Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: jsm174(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- While working on leveraging the vbscript engine of Wine for a macos/linux port of Visual Pinball, I finally have the example table working and am starting to work through the runtime errors. Since the table scripts are often copies of copies of copied code, sometimes bad practices make their way in. Take the following code: Const tnob = 5 ' total number of balls ReDim rolling(tnob) This works in real vbscript, but fails here. As a work around, I've updated the script to: Const tnob = 5 ' total number of balls Dim rolling() ReDim rolling(tnob) According to the rules I've found: It's possible to create a new dynamic array within a procedure using the ReDim statement if the array to which it refers doesn't already exist at either module or level. Typically, this results from an error of omission; the programmer forgets to explicitly define the array using Dim, Public, or Private. Since this method of creating an array can cause conflicts if a variable or array of the same name is subsequently defined explicitly, ReDim should be used only to redimension an existing array, not to define a new one. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 32572] New: Alpha Polaris doesn't play well with built-in d3dx9 libraries

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32572 Bug #: 32572 Summary: Alpha Polaris doesn't play well with built-in d3dx9 libraries Product: Wine Version: 1.5.20 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.gamershell.com/download_75822.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3dx9 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69(a)gmail.com CC: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 42985 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42985 terminal output The game comes with native d3dx9_34.dll installed in the game directory, the reported problems happen only when you set it to built-in. wine-1.5.20-57-gdabde6a or newer is needed to test this bug (a follow-up to bug #27627). The game starts and loads to the menu fine with the built-in d3dx9_34 but you will face several issues throughout the game. Install the demo then start it with AlphaPolaris.exe. Click <OK> in the launcher and get in the game. Start a new game from the menu, skip the intro video. Here are some issues I noticed with built-in d3dx: - anytime you press a key (either in the menu or in mid-game) a black bar appears in the upper left corner. An error message from the game engine (Wintermute) is hiding behind those black bars, as I've seen those in the game from bug #29495. "Script runtime error. View log for details". - the game begins with a conversation but dialogues/subtitles are displayed so fast that you can hardly read them. Probably due to this, most of the audio (speech) is missing from the game. - when the opening conversation ends you should see the main character standing in front of his bed. With built-in d3dx the character is missing (invisible). - the game tends to crash on exit as can be seen in the attached log file. All those issues are non-existent when d3dx9_34=native. Saved games that were created with built-in d3dx9_34 are also affected. If you load a saved game created with built-in, those issues are present, even if the game was started with native. -- 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.
