Hello all, I gave this a stab a few months ago but gave up and just set up a dual boot. I'm running low on disk space now and tired of messing with the muliple partitions, so I'm giving it another go to get Guild Wars running in Linux. I'm runing Wine 0.9.3 on Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake). I'm able to go through the instillation without issue, but when it actually tries to launch the game, I get the error message form Guild Wars: "Unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed DirectX8 and an updated video driver. Click the URL below to open a web page with more information. http://www.guildwars.com/support/en-3dinitializationerror.php"; I'm running the command /pathtoGuildWars/wine Gw.exe -dx8 -noshaders as I found this at the Wine HQ app db. I've tried searching the archive and the web but don't seem to be able to find anyting on this particular issue - I'm ready to accept that once I get past this, there will be other issues that may not be solvable right now, but it seems weird that nobody else has had this error enough to even find three relevant hits. When I run it from the command line, the shell fills up with more information than the screen can hold - almost all of it I can see is items saying things like the following: fixme:dxdiag:IDxDiagContainerImpl_AddProp (0x1aa160, L"szClsidFilter", 0x34f2e4) fixme:dxdiag:IDxDiagContainerImpl_AddProp (0x1aa160, L"szName", 0x34f2d4) fixme:dxdiag:IDxDiagContainerImpl_AddProp (0x1aa160, L"dwMerit", 0x34f2d4) fixme:dxdiag:IDxDiagContainerImpl_AddProp (0x1aa160, L"dwInputs", 0x34f2d4) fixme:dxdiag:IDxDiagContainerImpl_AddProp (0x1aa160, L"dwOutputs", 0x34f2d4) So I'm guessing it is my DirectX somehow. I have also tried it without the -dx8 flag. Any insight is appreciated! ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
