Summary: Spore: Shows black screen when run using Wine 1.1.42 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.43 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: silver@silvermb.com
I am new to Linux operating system so please bear with me if my explanation or details shown below are not specific enough.
Description of problem
Spore shows black screen on start up. No Graphics, No Sound and No Cursor displayed.
Installation process worked OK with no errors.
Software/Hardware
Wine 1.1.42 Spore 1 - Installed from DVD. (I am currently using the Correct No-CD to get around the DVD not recognised issue). Latest Graphics driver for Intel 945GM built in card. 32 bit Ubuntu 10.04 Operating System. (Also tried using previous Ubuntu 9.10 with no luck). Dell Latitude D620 Laptop.
Other Details
I have tried to fix this issue using information from other bug reports with no luck, details are shown below:
1. Changed the following Registry entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Wine, Direct 3D. DirectDrawRederer = opengl. OffscreenRenderingMode = backbuffer. UseGLSL = disabled.
I have also tried using OffscreenRederingMode = fbo and had same error.
2. I have run the software from terminal using the -safe flag and got the following message:
fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x64): stub fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x6c): stub
after this message the terminal seems to wait and do nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue ?
Thanks
