The only visible problem I can see are textures: They only have a solid color, all other things seem to work. I've uploaded a screenshot to http://doesi.gmxhome.de/tomb3-2.png , if anyone wants to have a look.

I have sorted that texture problem out now(Incorrect Loading and the TEXTUREHANDLE render state was missing), and to my eyes Tomb Raider 3 runs correct now with WineD3D.

Does anyone know any other games which are running with the old Direct3D 7 implementation? I will give Prince of Persia 3D a try tomorrow, but the last time I tried it crashed before initialising DDraw.

You can see most wanted games (and how to download demos) here :) http://appdb.winehq.org/votestats.php

For more info about ddraw games lionel can help you :)

I can verify that Starcraft is dx5-based.. I have been playing it since _way_ before dx7 was out.. As for D2, i think it is dx7, but it can be run in either ddraw or d3d.. IIRC, it works fine in ddraw, but the video test fails to find a valid d3d mode, so it forces you to run in ddraw. If we could get it to work in d3d, that would be great, but I should also add that D2 isnt very popular anymore (due to cheating, etc), so it isnt a big priority to me anyways, but if needed, I could test out progress, provided I can find my original CD's..

P.S. I also have a copy of sacifice, and messiah, so if testnig is needed with either of those, let me know and i will start submitting bugs to the db for those..

P.P.S. I will eventually get around to testing all of the windows apps I have and having bugs reported for each one, so I will eventually get sc, d2, sac, and mess. reported, but i need some time to play around with some other apps first.. Benchmarking is my #1 priority right now (as seen by all of the benchmarking bugs on the 'zilla).

The appdb. Sure, why didn't I think of it ;)

Actually it's a DX2 game(according to the download page), but it doesn't use Direct3D, so it's not affected by my changes. I am just downloading Diablo 2 Demo I'll see how it performs.

I've posted the message below to wine-users earlier, but I guess it's more appropriate here. Switched to wine-0.9.2 meanwhile, but Tomb Raider 4 behaves just the same.

Hi!

I've just installed wine-0.9.1 on my Fedora Core 3 system (Radeon 9600XT - fglrx-8.19.10).

While TR3(demo) setup & gameplay runs okay, TR4 breaks and gives me this error output after the setup screen is thru:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or dir ectory err:int:INSTR_EmulateInstruction mov cr4,eax at 0x0048da53 err:int:INSTR_EmulateInstruction mov cr4,eax at 0x0048da64 fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x7fef1a18)-
