Error messages

Launching Evochron Legends shows a black screen, game custom mouse cursor can
be seen briefly. At this point, escape key is the only way to exit the game.

Some OpenGL, Direct3D and DirectDraw error messages are shown (see attachment).

I'm using an ATI X1600 XT with the Mesa DRI R300 20060815 TCL driver so this
may be the problem. Someone with another graphic card/proprietary divers should
test it (the time limited demo is freely available:
http://www.starwraith.com/evochron_legends.exe).

Game includes a sort of "safe-mode" for low-end graphic cards (create an empty
file named "legacytextures.txt" in game directory to activate). But result is
the same.

According to official website, this game requires DirectX 9.0c to run.

Output for v1.188

Same result for Evochron Legends v1.188 with Wine 1.1.36 on Ubuntu 9.10 (kernel
2.6.31-17).

Wine 1.2.1 output for Evochron Legends v1.288

With Wine v1.2.1 and Evochron Legends v1.288, things are a bit different.

When launched, the in-game mouse cursor appears briefly, then the screen
becomes totally black, flickers a few times, then becomes white. An error
window finally pops up reading: "Error In Program - Runtime Error : ERROR 99."

(In previous versions, the game crashed without any error message).

Evochron Legends seems to be coded in DarkBasic.

+tid,+d3dxof log

Still present as of wine-1.5.5-182-g8c83c66, I tested with Evochron Legends
demo v1.288.

Workaround: native d3dxof.dll

With native d3dxof the game begins to load (text, showing the loading progress
is overwritten in the lower left corner of the screen), but it hangs at certain
point and Wine prints the following message endlessly:
> err:d3d_surface:surface_download_data Trying to read back converted surface 0x1f6f90 with format WINED3DFMT_B8G8R8X8_UNORM.

This is probably a different issue. Let's make this bug report about the
problem in d3dxof that keeps the game from starting at all.

Nvidia 250 / driver 295.53

The patch fixes the startup problem here as well, and now the game hangs
indefinitely during the loading stage.
