I don't know if this is the right place for this; but seeing as it's the only publicly accessible forum on winehq I thought I'd try here first. I've been trying to run a couple of games by Nifflas (http://nifflas.ni2.se). His older games, Knytt, Knytt Stories, and Within A Deep Forest all run perfectly with the correct Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libraries installed. However, his latest two - Saira and NightSky - will boot, but refuse to draw to the window. The games are windowed; but I have tried them on a virtual desktop and had the same problems. According to this account of an attempt in Ubuntu (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19014), this issue doesn't appear to happen on Linux. I've gone through the logs and appear to have isolated a series of errors that happen in any of his games that refuse to draw. They are as follow. ----- First, the log spits out: Code: fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f68c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f7ac,0x00000000), stub! Then it goes into a loop which has something to do with failing to create draw contexts. Each iteration of the loop varies. First there is an error that looks like: Code: wine[99527] <Error>: unknown error code: invalid drawable The *first* iteration of this loop is accompanied by: Code: wine[99527] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. Then the loop goes on... Code: set off screen: invalid drawable err:d3d:context_set_current Failed to make GL context *CONTEXTADDR* current on device context 0x6bc, last error 0. err:d3d:context_create Cannot activate context to set up defaults Where "CONTEXTADDR" changes with each iteration. If this is not the first iteration of the loop, this is followed by: Code: err:d3d:context_release Failed to restore GL context *PREVCONTEXTADDR* on device context 0x6bc, last error 0x7d0. Where "PREVCONTEXTADDR" is the context address used in the *last* iteration of the loop. ----- Then the loop branches into one of four directions. Sometimes it just continues past this point, but the other times one of the following sets of errors is generated: Code: fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format WINED3DFMT_R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS(73) in the format lookup table fixme:d3d:getDepthStencilBits Unsupported stencil format: WINED3DFMT_UNKNOWN Or Code: err:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat Or, if it is the last time going through the loop: Code: err:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat ----- This is always followed by the following log: Code: path: *SEQUENTIALADDR* Where "SEQUENTIALADDR" goes up by an arbitrary amount with each loop ----- Finally, the loop again branches - this time in three directions. Sometimes it just continues past this point, but roughly half the time the following error is generated: Code: err:d3d:context_create wglShareLists(0x0, *NEXTCONTEXTADDR*) failed, last error 0. Where "NEXTCONTEXTADDR" is the context address used in the next iteration of the loop. If it happens to be the *last* iteration of the loop, this branch instead produces: Code: fixme:msvcr90:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x3d89a0) stub fixme:msvcr90:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x78507750) stub ----- In practice, this looks like this (NightSky used in example): Code: Monday, January 10, 2011 8:02:03 PM America/New_York fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f68c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f7ac,0x00000000), stub! path: 62387_0x400129 Mon Jan 10 20:02:26 new-host.home wine[99527] <Error>: unknown error code: invalid drawable Mon Jan 10 20:02:26 new-host.home wine[99527] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. set off screen: invalid drawable err:d3d:context_set_current Failed to make GL context 0x1e4b08 current on device context 0x6bc, last error 0. err:d3d:context_create Cannot activate context to set up defaults path: 62387_0x40012a Mon Jan 10 20:02:26 new-host.home wine[99527] <Error>: unknown error code: invalid drawable set off screen: invalid drawable err:d3d:context_set_current Failed to make GL context 0x1e4ba8 current on device context 0x6bc, last error 0. err:d3d:context_create Cannot activate context to set up defaults err:d3d:context_release Failed to restore GL context 0x1e4b08 on device context 0x6bc, last error 0x7d0. fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format WINED3DFMT_R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS(73) in the format lookup table fixme:d3d:getDepthStencilBits Unsupported stencil format: WINED3DFMT_UNKNOWN path: 62387_0x40012b err:d3d:context_create wglShareLists(0x0, 0x1e4c30) failed, last error 0.
