GZDoom under WinE

Post by **Rachael** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 18:28

I finally got my graphics driver running in Linux... and since I didn't want to go through the hassle of compiling GZDoom on Linux (yet, anyway), I decided to try it on WinE.

Before I updated my graphics driver (so that it would actually work), I got it to work with Software OpenGL mode. After I tuned down the settings a bit, it was playable.

However, it's got the driver, now, and on hardware acceleration, it does NOT work. I cannot figure out what's wrong here. I get sound, but no display. If I press ESC, I can see the faded yellow background from the menu, but that's it.

The GPU is an integrated nForce2 motherboard chipset (GeForce 4 equivilent), and the nVidia driver is 96.43.07. I'm running Slackware 12.0.

Quake 2 is suffering the same issue, however, World of Warcraft runs perfectly. WoW -opengl also works, so it's not exclusively an openGL issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

I was having similar issues before I got a native Linux gzdoom, also on Slackware. What Wine package are you using? I found I had much better results with Wine 1.0 than any of the newer versions. Doom/Doom2 ran fine, other games took a long time (~ 15 seconds) to start but worked after that.

Also, does native OpenGL stuff work alright?

I could post my Linux binaries if you (or someone else) wanted, but that's rather a security risk for you.

Most native OpenGL apps work fine, I seem to recall one or two screen savers blanking out though that were doing ok before the graphics driver update. I can't remember which ones, though, nor do I have time, atm, to check.

Well native Skulltag works. And the GL renderer has no problems. I cannot compile a native GZDoom though I keep getting errors.

Quicky script to download and compile gzdoom from source for Linux. You need fmod first, if you don't have it already: http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-1 ... d/4.18.03/ offers a recent package for Slackware 12.1, it will probably work with 12.0. Binary and .pk3 files will be in the gzdoom-r186 directory.

Gah... try changing CFLAGS to just "-O2" ?

That looks like what was happening to me when I used more optimizations.. but then I ran that exact script and everything worked fine on my machine.

On some computers I've used, I wasn't able to get the windows gzdoom.exe running with video without setting vid_forceddraw to true.

Post by **Rachael** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 20:06

Well I tried again at compiling a native GZDoom executable with -O2 and it still crashed.

GuntherDW · Post by **GuntherDW** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 18:08

the crash seems to happen because the software renderer doesn't like linux for some reason
i'll see if forcing the renderer to the opengl one fixes it

edit: try this patch, does it help?
(apply it after the r185.diff file, i'm checking out the newest revision, but i'm off to eat first
i'll see what i can do in an hour :p

The software mode has worked for me in linux - and is a patch needed to force opengl mode? Just passing a command line option or a config file change would do that. (Haven't looked at the patch to see if it does other things too though.)

GuntherDW · Post by **GuntherDW** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 2:07

Agent ME, the only thing i changed is that it would never revert to the software renderer, that's all i changed (for the linux/sdl side that is, i don't check/change the windows code)
i'll check if the software renderer actually works (i haven't used/checked it in AGES)

edit: using r204, it doesn't seem to crash anymore

Sorry for resurrecting such an old topic but I can run gzdoom just fine under Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) using Wine 1.01 and gzdoom 1.1.04.

My PC is an Asus F3T notebookm, with a Turion X2 processor and a 7600 Go Nvidia GPU.

Contact me if you guys need help.
