Summary: Games crash/wined3d doesn't work with ATI's fglrx driver Product: Wine Version: 0.9.61. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mattemod@gmail.com
Like I explained in this thread http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=510 games (and i think other 3D apps too) don't run with "fglrx" driver.
I tried the "radeonhd" driver and games start perfectly, but (obviously they're unusable because the radeonhd driver doesn't have direct rendering implemented yet). I also tried my same Wine installation on a notebook with an nvidia 7000M and it worked! To do so i installed the same Wine version (0.9.60) on the same distro (Gentoo AMD64) and copied my ~/.wine (with games already installed) on the notebook.
Today i tried Wine 0.9.61 but results are the same... I noticed that it happens only with DirectX games, not OpenGL. For example i tried Morrowind, Oblivion, Guild Wars and Nexuiz, but the only one who worked was Nexuiz (even if too slowly).
Here is my configuration: - Gentoo AMD64 - kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 - ATI Radeon HD 3870 (512MB) - fglrx 8.473 (Catalyst 8.4)
I'm going to attach some wine/winedbg output. If you need any other info and test reports or if you want me to try patches or anything else, just ask.
