Summary: Civilization IV complete edition can't start due to directx Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Jean.Emploi@free.fr
Created an attachment (id=26616) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=26616) Error message in a window says "Error:Creation failed: Could not match desired fullscreen mode"
When trying to start the game, a splash screen gets displayed and goes through several init steps. It crashed at the "Init Engine" step with an error message "Error:Creation failed: Could not match desired fullscreen mode" (see 1st attachment). The console window displays many error messages like this one "err:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_IsPixelFormatCompatibleWithRenderFmt Unable to check compatibility for Format=WINED3DFMT_R32G32B32A32_FLOAT" (see 2nd attachment).
In the end, I can't play civilization IV using wine. :(
My setup :
Civilization IV Complete edition (DVD from retail, includes WARLORDS and BEYOND THE SWORD expansion packs)
Ubuntu 9.10
wine 1.39
nvidia geforce 7300 LE, using proprietary driver v. 185.18.36
I also tried installing d3d9 using winetricks. It did not help.
