Greetings, once there was a time when Gothic 3 ran poorly on wine but had no difficulties with displaying the start menu. Now, with a fresh ~/.wine, the trailers behave nicely but when it comes to the start menu, it is not displayed. A significant error line regarding this is: fixme:d3dx:ID3DXFontImpl_DrawTextW (0x394fd18)->(0x39ce150, L"Neues Spiel", -1, 0x32e078, 5, 0xff000000): stub Looks as if copying a special d3dx-dll from WinXP could perhaps fix this. Which one? ;) This happens on wine-1.3.32 and was so for a couple of versions back. Perhaps wine-1.3.33 would help, but i doubt it and this version is not yet available on Gentoo. I could provide a full log taken with 2>&1 | tee g3_log.txt if that would be helpful. At the end of that file there is a loop in which displaying the start menu is tried over and over again. Two times of that loop should be enough and i have cut out the remainder. Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)
