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@winehq.org ReportedBy: cfiend@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.
