Bug ID: 55364 Summary: Shadow Empire crashes on startup with an error related to SharpDX and Direct2D. Product: Wine Version: 8.13 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: kindaro@gmail.com Distribution: ---
_Shadow Empire_ is a computer game. It can be obtained, for example, from Steam or Good Old Games. I installed what I believe to be version 1.21.00.
This is the gist of the error message that the game gives me:
``` SharpDX.SharpDXException: HRESULT: [0x88990028], Module: [SharpDX.Direct2D1], ApiCode: [D2DERR_EFFECT_IS_NOT_REGISTERED/EffectIsNotRegistered], Message: Unknown ```
When I run it as `WINEDEBUG=+d2d wine ShadowEmpire.exe`, I see the following warning from Wine:
``` 0114:warn:d2d:d2d_effect_create Effect id {9daf9369-3846-4d0e-a44e-0c607934a5d7} not found. ```
I shall be attaching the full text of the error and Wine's output.
My operating system is Arch Linux, recently updated. The failure occurs both with `wine` and `wine-staging`.
