I got Sims 3 to install using the retail DVD (using the no-cd patch) and everything works great UNTIL I quit the game or it crashes. When I try to restart the game I just get : fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x256ed68,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x256d8a0,0x00000000), stub! fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x256d2a0,0x00000000), stub! fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x256d330,0x00000000), stub! fixme:devenum:DEVENUM_ICreateDevEnum_CreateClassEnumerator Category {cc7bfb41-f175-11d1-a392-00e0291f3959} not found fixme:devenum:DEVENUM_ICreateDevEnum_CreateClassEnumerator Category {cc7bfb46-f175-11d1-a392-00e0291f3959} not found fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0xf0): stub fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x1b0): stub fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (0 0x256f2bc) fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (1 0x256f2bc) fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (2 0x256f2bc) fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (3 0x256f2bc) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 94 (SPI_GETMOUSETRAILS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4124 (SPI_GETMOUSESONAR) fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x1b4): stub fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 1280070990 (as fourcc: NULL) WINED3DFORMAT! err:d3d:CheckTextureCapability Unhandled format=unrecognized fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 1280070990 (as fourcc: NULL) WINED3DFORMAT! fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(1280070990) in the format lookup table fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 1280070990 (as fourcc: NULL) WINED3DFORMAT! fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(1280070990) in the format lookup table fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 1280070990 (as fourcc: NULL) WINED3DFORMAT! fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(1280070990) in the format lookup table fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x1fc): stub fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x218): stub fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x21c): stub fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (1 0x256fca8) fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x260): stub fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0x264): stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x3002a, 0x159eb8): stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (2 0x256fca8) fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (3 0x256fca8) fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x159eb8): semi-stub fixme:xinput:XInputGetState (0 0x256fca8) That last messgae scrolls on as long as I am running the game and Sims never starts.
