Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems DD + Wine

Hi,
i just installed DD on my linux-box (after some trouble).
And of course, i wanted to play it, so i typed :

[email]alucard@dD5E00A87:~/Desktop/Divine[/email] Divinity> wine div.exe

and wine notified me that i had to disable the debugger.
But after some searching, i remarked that i could not find a way to do that.

So my question is: Does DD have a debugger, and if so, how do i disable it?

Hello Benjamin, and welcome imn the Forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Im not a Linux User, so i cant give you really Tipps.
But look in this Thread. Maybe you will the solution for your Problem found there.

And there are two different Parts in this Forum for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />.
This is the BD part <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


Edit:
Maybe this Thread can be moved <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hello benjamin and wecome to the forum !

Which wine version did you use ?

If you not running the latest version of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> (1.34) then install the latest patch for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> please and your problem should be gone. I described the install procedure for the patches in section 4.2 on the Divinity on Linux page.

If you have questions please contact me !

Sorry for the mispost,
and the thread thaught me nothing new (for i have visitid Xan's homepage first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

and Xan:


i think i should re-download the newest version <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
and update the game

a bit old i guess...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

thanks for the replies <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

encountered another problem:
i have updated wine (20050419)+ installed patch and when i try to run div.exe,
al he gives me is a black screen, and the only thing i can do is reboot x <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Benjamin, your old wine version should work fine but the new one should work too.

Ok, now we should try your problem:

Did you have a ati graphic card ? If you have one then please change in your ~/.wine directory the config file section "x11drv" to



If this doesn't help then please add your wine config file this (near simliars entries)



Where the values for "Desktop" should be the same as you configure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />.

Personally I used for my testing this above values on a 1024x768 (1280x800) screen because the game doesn't run in fullscreen (but big enough to see something) and I can look into the messages which appear on the X-terminal (aterm in my case).

Which distro (and version) did you use, Benjamin ?

I have indeed an ATI card (radeon 9250)
So, i did what you have said to me, but to no avail.

Got myself SuSE 9.2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
Oh, and i also got WineX ( if it matters to you) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

and here are some errors:

Did you use the closed source ati driver or the driver from Xorg / XFree86 ?

I have a ati card too, but the closed source ati driver doesn't work on my system (didn't run a fully 64bit linux system and the 32bit part of the closed source ati driver is for my system broken). I tested <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> on linux with an ati graphic card only with the driver from Xorg (version 6.8.2).

If you use the closed source at driver it is possible for you the switch back to the driver from Xorg or XFree86 ?

Came your posted error messages from Wine or WineX (aka Cedega) ?

Do your use the DirectX mode for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> on linux, right ?
Please switch back to the DirectDraw or Software mode because this mods are faster an better developed as the DirectX mode !

What do you mean with "closed" ati driver?
the errors came from wine, should i try wineX?
and i use software mode <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Sorry benjamnin, the errors which you posted above



appear only, if you run <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in the directx mode (I tested this out which a new installation of wine 20050419 and removing all wine config files) or from which wine version did you get the above error messages ?

Can you change the screen color depth to 16 bit an tell me if this work for you ?

The ati closed source driver is a driver which are developed by ATI and this driver includs a better 3D support for their graphic cards. Maybe SuSE installed this driver when you choose "3D acceleration" support ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

yeah, i set it to 16 in my xorg.conf and...
my pc will only start up in txt mode! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
so i searched a little bit and ended up here:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
and and said :


So... Xanlosch, you got any tipps?
cause i am becoming slighty irritated ( not because of you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Sorry for this trouble benjamin ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

On the text console: Please login as user "root" and the password of "root" !

Then enter "yast" and a simliar program like the yast control program on the graphical interface will appear (maybe this can be taking some time, dont worry, it should start).

Then you must look for somehting similar the "X server configuration". If you found this, start it and configure your screen color depth back zu 24 or 32 bits. Restart your pc and all should work again.

Sorry, I didn't have a SuSE system right near by me and I must remind me on this settings / configuration steps.

Not your fault! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
i just don't find the "x server configuration" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
I looked everywhere ( i think) but i simply do not find it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
but i guess it is probabely my fault <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
alas...

I don't know if one of this tools "sax" or "sax2" is available on your SuSE system (on older version you can configure your x server with one of this tools).

Maybe you can read something in the section of trouble-shooting of your manual (book, pdf, whatever).

If this doesn't work, please boot from the first medium (install CD or DVD) and choose the "repair current system". I hope this option is still available.

I really really Need to try that some time :o

atm Suse 9.3 and Cedega installed, should work?

It should work ! If not then please inform me. It tested it only with an older version of Cedega. Recent versions are only available if you pay for cedega <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Tried with the repair option, but it did not help me .
it gave the txt mode but i should repair it manually ( and i don't know how <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> )
i searched the internet for awhile, and they said
so i did that, and now it said me

i'm am getting desperate
should i just reinstall suse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />

Sorry for your inconvenience, benjamin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

The easiest way is to reinstall your SuSE system because I have not the faintest idea what exactly the problem is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

and suse is reinstalled! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
i think i am going to retry installing and playing DD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
but when something goes wrong <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> , i won't be very happy i guess <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Still Xan,
thank you very much for (trying <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> ) to help me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

WOOOOW!!!!
i think i just got a revelation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

DD is actually installing on my linux-box!!
5% already <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

the specs are:
2.4 Intel
768Mb DDR RAM
ASUS mobo (don't know wich)

[DD is asking to put cd2 in cd-rom/ 34% but had some troubles opening my drive (did an eject <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> cmd]

the drive is an liteonit (i don't know the number
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> )

and that's about it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

he's at 67% and asking for third cd <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

forgot to say that i have SuSE 9.3 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

and the fun part now is : it does not want to play! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

wine says me: unload the debugger and try again.
wineX says nothing, but shows me the startup screen for about a minute and then exits <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
