[AppCrash] The Sims Complete Collection crashes during loading #243

Closed Katnjia closed 10 months ago

Katnjia commented 10 months ago

Distro: Debian 13 "Trixie" Linux kernel version: 6.4.0-4-amd64 GNU/Linux Wine version: wine-8.0.1 (Debian 8.0.1~repack-3)

The game launches but crashes during load. Changing renderer or setting compatibility options doesn't seem to make a difference.

The game is using Direct3D 3 so it's not going to work, cnc-ddraw only supports the DirectDraw API.

You'll have to try some other wrappers like DxWnd or DDrawCompat, but i'm not sure how well they're working on Wine though

Ah I see, thanks for the quick response. I was unsure if or how the game interacted with Direct3D.

For posterity's sake, I have gotten it to work with a combo of Wine in desktop mode, dgVoodoo2, and using Gamescope for upscaling.
