Wine: "Unable to allocate primary video buffer - aborting" #3

Closed TRPB closed 9 years ago

TRPB commented 9 years ago

I'd love to get CnC with the high res patch working on linux but there seems to be a problem I can't fix no matter what I try. I've attempted to use both 32 bit and 64bit wine prefixes, Windows XP compatiblity, Windows 98 compatibility and Windows 8 compatibility, none seem to work.

Do you have any tips on getting this working under Wine? Normally I wouldn't ask but it's mentioned specifically on the site. I've added ddraw as an override and tried pretty much all the options (I'm assuming it should be native instead of builtin)?

Thanks for any help! :)

Never mine, wine automatically created an entry for "c&c95.exe" so I used that... after readding it as "C&C95.exe" it works great!
