Direct Draw Error

[Niedra]

Hello, I'm trying to run 2 old Blizzard games - Diablo II and StarCraft (both for Battle.net). But I can't manage to run them, not atliest fullscreen. I've tried changing Windows Version in winecfg, emulating a virtual desktop. Nothing seems to help. There were some times when I managed to run Diablo in emulated virtual desktop, but it's painful to play it that way. I have wine-1.1.3.

Diablo II terminal log:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f328,0x00000000), stub!
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x32 @0! (XRandR)
after that I get an popup saying
Error 22: A critical error has occurred while initializing DirectDraw

And terminal log for SC:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f410,0x00000000), stub!
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)

err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x32 @0! (XRandR)
also I get this (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=82567&d=1219511916) popup.

I appreciated any help.

The problem launching 256 color apps is a bug in Wine, this might help: http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds

Wine version 1.1.3 has a MAJOR REGRESSION in DDRAW try version 1.1.2 with the Cure for slowness here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=149

I noticed that I upgraded to 1.1.3 only yesterday. I installed 1.1.2 today, and tried what you suggested, but now I can only run it using emulated desktop. Is it even possible to run it fullscreen ? It's painful to play in a little window...

[cherva]

Well there should be no problem ... go to the Video tab in winecfg and remove the checkbox "Emulate a virtual desktop"

[Niedra]

Then I get the old errors again :( I'm not quite sure if the problem is in wine.

You could try installing the games through PlayOnLinux which is like Wine Doors And Cedega,but free and has its own goals.

I used it and I got my starcraft to run somewhat better in windowed mode.In fullscreen mode I have to use the cure for slowness and hope it connects lol.

Really for these games its all about luck right now,until the dib engine is made.

[cherva]

Niedra what video card do you have and did you installed the drivers for it ?

[Niedra]

I'll try PlayOnLinux, thanks.
I have a GeForce 6600GT and I have installed drivers for it.

Finally got time to try PlayOnLinux, so I installed StarCraft, patched and tried to play. This is what terminal gives
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000000c at address 0x7dfbd63d (thread 001f), starting debugger...

I tried PlayOnLinux too but couldn't started star craft at all ... I use just wine and it works.... well ok it lags on my pc I don't know why.... so I don't know how to help you. Go to #winehq in irc.freenode.net :)
