Battlezone II woes

**petzworld999** · April 23rd, 2008

Battlezone II: Combat Commander installed fine, and it patched fine to 1.3. However, when I start the program, a black screen comes up and the following error message appears:

Can't start hardware accelerated Direct3D 8.

Then, it gives a URL for the latest DirectX. I have searched the AppDB and it works pretty well, just not for me. Terminal output is as follows:

Code:

err:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Resolution change not successful -- perhaps display has changed?

Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix?

Code:

fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16
err:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Resolution change not successful -- perhaps display has changed?

It looks like it is trying to go from 32bit color to 16bit color but is failing. Maybe this is a bug specific to your graphics vendor.
You can probably try going into the wine configuration (winecfg) and choose emulate a virtual desktop (under the graphics section.) That works for me when there you can't change your X resolution to accommodate a wine game.

Well now it starts, but once I get past the intro movie (which runs very slowly) I see a screen that is mostly black and does not respond. That is another problem.

Code:

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_CreateAdditionalSwapChain The app requests more than one back buffer, this can't be supported properly. Please configure the application to use double buffering(=1 back buffer) if possible
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (0,0)-(640,480)
fixme:d3d:state_subpixel Render state WINED3DRS_SUBPIXEL not implemented yet
fixme:d3d:state_mipmaplodbias Render state WINED3DRS_MIPMAPLODBIAS not implemented yet
