What is the status of support for directx2 apps? The "failed to create surface" error in MissionForce: Cyberstorm seems to have persisted forever... I have a +relay log of the said game launch session, (if somebody wants it, i can provide the full version) -- it appears that the graphics backend call pair which causes trouble is to winex11.drv.GetDCEx()/ winex11.drv.GetSystemPaletteEntries(), which seem to suggest that the application asks for the drawing context (it wants 8bpp), realises that something is wrong with the palette and fails: 0009:Ret winex11.drv.GetDCEx() retval=000001ec ret=7ee6a102 0009:Ret user32.GetDC() retval=000001ec ret=00480a94 0009:Call gdi32.GetSystemPaletteEntries(000001ec,00000000,00000100,0032f96c) ret=0 0480b05 0009:Call kernel32.97(7edbe980) ret=7ed7205f 0009:Call ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection(7edbe980) ret=7b8862a1 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=7b8862a1 0009:Ret kernel32.97() retval=7b918ce0 ret=7ed7205f 0009:Call winex11.drv.GetSystemPaletteEntries(00184f58,00000000,00000100,0032f96c) ret=7ed7f080 0009:Ret winex11.drv.GetSystemPaletteEntries() retval=00000000 ret=7ed7f080 0009:Call kernel32.98(7edbe980) ret=7ed71ed4 0009:Call ntdll.RtlLeaveCriticalSection(7edbe980) ret=7b885fb0 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlLeaveCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=7b885fb0 0009:Ret kernel32.98() retval=00000000 ret=7ed71ed4 0009:Ret gdi32.GetSystemPaletteEntries() retval=00000000 ret=00480b05 0009:Call user32.MessageBeep(00000000) ret=0047d605 0009:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyW(0000005c,7eeaaa80 L"Control Panel\\Sound",0032eba4) ret=7ee75b7b 0009:Call ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString(0032eabc,7eeaaa80 L"Control Panel\\Sound") re t=7ec054df 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString() retval=00000026 ret=7ec054df 0009:Call ntdll.NtOpenKey(0032eba4,000f003f,0032eaa4) ret=7ec054fb 0009:Ret ntdll.NtOpenKey() retval=c0000034 ret=7ec054fb 0009:Call ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError(c0000034) ret=7ec05506 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError() retval=00000002 ret=7ec05506 0009:Ret advapi32.RegOpenKeyW() retval=00000002 ret=7ee75b7b 0009:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyW(80000001,7eeaaa80 L"Control Panel\\Sound",0032eba4) ret=7ee75b98 0009:Call ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString(0032eabc,7eeaaa80 L"Control Panel\\Sound") re t=7ec054df 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString() retval=00000026 ret=7ec054df 0009:Call ntdll.NtOpenKey(0032eba4,000f003f,0032eaa4) ret=7ec054fb 0009:Ret ntdll.NtOpenKey() retval=c0000034 ret=7ec054fb 0009:Call ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError(c0000034) ret=7ec05506 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError() retval=00000002 ret=7ec05506 0009:Ret advapi32.RegOpenKeyW() retval=00000002 ret=7ee75b98 0009:Call winex11.drv.Beep() ret=7ee5b4f1 0009:Call ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection(7ea3d160) ret=7ea15f40 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=7ea15f40 0009:Call kernel32.TlsGetValue(00000000) ret=7e9fc817 0009:Ret kernel32.TlsGetValue() retval=00179648 ret=7e9fc817 0009:Call ntdll.RtlLeaveCriticalSection(7ea3d160) ret=7ea15ed0 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlLeaveCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=7ea15ed0 0009:Ret winex11.drv.Beep() retval=00000000 ret=7ee5b4f1 0009:Ret user32.MessageBeep() retval=00000001 ret=0047d605 0009:Call user32.MessageBoxA(00010024,0032f11c "GFXCDSSurface::create: Failed to c reate a surface.\r\n\r\nProgram: CyberStorm\r\nVersion: 1.10A , Win95 Dec 13 1996\ r\nFile: graph\\gfx\\g_cds.c (#114)\r\n\r\n--------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------\r\nThis problem pr .... regards, Samium Gromoff _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
