What is the exact command you used to run it? Also how and where did you
installed the game?

Hi,

I have installed the game just as it is provided in the howto:
- export WINEPREFIX=/the/path/the/game/is
- started the installer. Installer never ever failed.
- grabbed and installed patch (stk-ww-10005.exe) without problem
- wine regedit, Set "OffscreenRenderingMode" to "fbo"
- cd game's installation dir; wine XR_3DA.exe  -dsound -nodistort

A black screen occurs and the game later exits, leaving the wine running,
producing the errors continously.

My laptop is equipped by a Radeon Mobility X1600, I've tried the exactly same
installation on an nVidia, and the game actually started.

wine-0.9.52, Ubuntu 7.04, nVidia 8800GTS,  NVIDIA 169.04

started from the installed directory with the -dsound -nodistort parameters,
lastest game patchlevel, recognises game disc without issue.

works for me.

Don't set fbo - ATI [drivers] does not support it. Like most other features
required by this game. You will be lucky if you get anything 3d working on your
disabled hardware.

You mean the failure of starting this game is the fault of the ATI driver?

Yes, ATi drivers known to have lots of bugs and deficiencies with more
sophisticated features - the ones Wine use all the time.

Can any d3d guys comment on if this is fixable? Or is this going to be another
ATI driver bug?

I have shut down fbo but the game produces the same symptoms. :(

I'm seeing this as well, with an nvidia card. The game used to work, but I
hadn't tried it recently and now it doesn't work (with wine
0.9.58~winehq0~debian~4.0). I created a new wineprefix but it gave the same
error.

I just tried 0.9.36 and 0.9.37 which both worked, and then 0.9.38 again which
also worked. So I can't reproduce it any more, maybe it's some sort of race
condition? :-/

Err, 0.9.58. And it was 0.9.56 and 0.9.57.

You mentioned you re-created your wineprefix. Perhaps, this problem only occurs
with certain d3d settings (those wine Direct3D registry keys), and maybe you
don't have these settings in your new profile? This does happen sometimes. If
you did have some non-default settings for d3d in registry, try to isolate the
one which created problems by changing them one by one and post here if you
find anything, that info can be useful.

No, it was a once-off wineprefix that I then deleted, my recent testing was
with the prefix I used some months ago, and haven't changed between it working,
it not working and it working again. The D3D keys I have set in the prefix are
OffScreenRenderingMode: fbo, PixelShaderMode: enabled and UseGLSL: disabled.

Oh here we go - starting without "-dsound" causes the hang for me. But the
original reporter was running with -dsound, so this isn't related, apologies
for the bugspam.

Hmm. There are sometimes sound-related hangs at the start of the program in
case wine crashed or was killed in the middle of operation - then there's a
semaphore left in system apparently in some non-sane state, and wine hangs at
start. This can be verified by running 'ipcs' command, there should be
something like

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key        semid      owner      perms      nsems
0x0056a4d5 ..........

it can be cured by removing this semaphore(ipcrm) or rebooting. I don't know if
that's your case, but I get this problem all the time when killing games.

Maybe, this is dublicate of 12929? Or 12929 is a dublicate?

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine? Are you sure it's not
a dupe of bug 12929?

Abandoned. If you still have a problem in current (1.1.26 or newer) wine, and
can provide the needed information, feel free to reopen.
