Wine-Winetricks-Directx Tomb Raider Underworld

skyxn3t · 07-29-2010, 11:31 PM

Greetings,

I've installed Tomb Raider Underworld in wine, but when I tried to start the game I got the following message:

Code:

"Tomb Raider: Underworld Error" 
"This game requires a DirectX9.0c capable graphics card. your card or driver does not support DirectX9.0c 3D Acceleration."

I've winetricks installed and I installed: "d3dx9", "physx" using winetricks and I still get the same message. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Note: Tomb Raider Underworld has been tested by users and it works on wine, there are some youtube videos as well as entries in WineHQ that say it worked, my problem is the Directx message that I get that would not let me start the game.

any help would be appreciated, thx in advance.

Winetricks may do it for you, but do you have all of the DirectX 9 libraries set to native in winecfg?

Also, did you see this on the winehq page?

Code:

Works on AMD Athlon X2 3600+ 1.9Ghz - ATI HD 4350 512MB - 2GB 800 Ram - Wine 1.1.33 but add some register keys 

Also copy microsoft.net, fonts and system folder from win installation to windows folder in wine 

Run regedit and browse to: Current_user/Software/Wine/Direct3D. If Direct3D key doesn’t exist, create it. You may want to set following values: 


This is for ATI: 


"DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi" 
"VideoMemorySize"="512" 

but have many graphics bugs

Beyond that, what is your graphics card and what drivers are you using for it?

I have installed all the DirectX 9 libraries, how do I set them to native in winecfg?

I tried to execute the game using the Terminal these are the messages that I got, they might help:

Code:

[root@work Tomb Raider - Underworld]$ wine tru.exe 
fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),0,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub!

Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL.

Then After that I receive the dialog box:

Code:

"This game requires a DirectX9.0c capable graphics card. your card or driver does not support DirectX9.0c 3D Acceleration."

To set them to native, just run 'winecfg' and go to the Libraries tab.

Are you running a 64-bit OS? If so, do you have 32-bit OpenGL libraries installed? If memory serves me right, the nVidia installer asks if you want it to build them toward the end of its run.

Yes

do you have 32-bit OpenGL libraries installed? If memory serves me right, the nVidia installer asks if you want it to build them toward the end of its run.

How do I know if I have the OpenGL libraries installed?
What Nvidia installer? I installed my NVIDIA drivers in fedora 13 using:

Code:

yum install kmod-nvidia

And that took care of everything, I do know that I have 3D/effects, etc.. working fine in Linux.
