Discussion of Linux Support

[MrTrip]

I've installed Mint alongside my Windows and attempted to get things going. I can't seem to get the blasted thing to load. I think the only thing I haven't installed is Quartz, because I didn't know it was needed... Guess I'll try this and see what happens, though it wont matter right now as the login server is down.


If you've got any tips for me trying to get things working in Mint 12 x64, I'd appreciate it.

I'd read the wiki we wrote up on techhaven.org

x64 I really have no advice other than try 32 :P I couldn't find good support for x64 so I fell back to 32 long time ago.

It needs some updating but it has some useful information

I was going to send you a PM but your box is full... My Win7 DLL's are incompatible with Wine it seems. Any chance you know of a good place to get some that will work?

PlayOnLinux might help you. I was able to get NC to run a couple times by tinkering with it.

You can install all the dlls you need with winetricks

I tried a few days ago to get Neocron running in Wine without any luck.
- Wine 1.5 Beta
- Ubuntu 12.04

I suppose I'll take another stab at it this coming weekend.

System specs please?

System specs please?

AMD FX-6100
ATI Radeon 6870
Gigabyte 990X Motherboard
8GB Corsair DDR3 Memory

The problem I believe has do with the system running OpenGL 1.4 instead of OpenGL 2.0.

Can you do...

wine Client.exe > dump.txt

and post that text file for me?

err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly (using GL renderer "AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series ", version "1.4 (2.1 (4.2.11631 Compatibility Profile Context))").

Making some progress, me thinks:

err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.
err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat.
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL.
err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat.
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter

Yep, OpenGL problems. I'm no expert there...but the folks in the Wine IRC channel may be able to assist you.

@Moza: Are you using the open source gallium3D drivers or the ATI/AMD blob (proprietary drivers)?
