Summary: Spore: "ERROR: Graphics Card is below min spec, The game
                    will not run"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Trying to run spore with Wine 1.1.5 and NVIDIA 6800 Go... Tried latest and BETA
graphics driver.

When starting the game (with or without safemode) The following dialog pops up
preventing me from playing:

"Sorry, your graphics card is below our min spec. The game will not run. Please
see the README for details. [2001]"

My card is fully capable of playing the game, and it works more than fine in
Windows on the same machine (dual boot)

Please enable the pixel shader in winecfg.

Also enable GLSL. Or is this impossible?

I enabled PixelShader and GLSL (I orginally disabled them to see if that would
fix it, forgot to change it back...) but still no luck.

Could you attach a +d3d log with wine default configuration (GLSL and pixel
shader enabled)?

Thanks! I actually went ahead and changed both GLSL and pixel shader to
"enabled" in user.reg and it worked.. Odd, because before I could have sworn I
tried it with both of them enabled. Thanks for everything.

I'm having the same problem with a:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Pixel shader is enabled, and I've tried running it with and without the -safe
option.
I've also tried to set the VideoMemorySize in HKCU with no luck.
Do I need to open a new ticket?

I am having this same issue on a Radon Card. I am sure I have pixel shader
enabled. The card is a Rad eon X1650. I am requesting that this bug be
reopened. I am running ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. Here is my output from glxinfo |
grep renderer:

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 TCL

Also, The notification only appears when the game is run from a menu.
Attempting to start Spore from a terminal results in the following:

WINEDEBUG=+d3d wine "C:\Program Files\Electronic
Arts\SPORE\Sporebin\SporeApp.exe" -locale:en-us -safe
trace:d3d:DllMain WineD3D DLLMain Reason=1
trace:d3d:wined3d_init Allow pixel shaders
trace:d3d:wined3d_init Allow HW vertex shaders
trace:d3d:wined3d_init If supported by your system, GL Shading Language will be
used
fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x80): stub
fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x88): stub

At which point nothing further happens.

I will gladly supply more information as needed.

That's ancient drivers. Submit bugs to xorg/your distro.
