Summary: Earth 2160 pops msgbox cant init direct3d Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC URL: http://www.earth2160.com/en/index.php OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: super-greg@gmx.de CC: super-greg@gmx.de
This is Earth 2160 v1.1. I start Earth and for a second I can see a black screen, than a msgbox pops up with: "An error has occurred during initialization of Direct3D. This can be caused by your graphics card configuration or driver. Try to start the program in Safe Mode (- safe mode execution parameter)."
FAQ says: Your graphics card does not support 1.2 or higher Per-Pixel Shader! Unfortunately, you need a new graphics card.
So this seems to be just another pixel shader issue, nethertheless i provide a log.
