Oh - what video card on your system ? what video drivers and version?

"fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8." - it is normal - all have this error.

Im back ! Cool and i have sloved the problem

So the "real" problem was
Quote:
err:d3d:resource_init Out of adapter memory


Meaning wine don't know how much memory my video card have

what you have to do is :

in linux console : wine regedit

go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine]

right click - new key

add two entries :

"VideoMemorySize"="2048"
"DirectDrawRenderer"=""

now i have my windows back ! Big smile

How did you install the game?

I've installed it with playOnLinux in several machines and I've never had any issue, guess I'm either super lucky or playOnLinxu really does the trick.

When you install the game thru this program the installer ask you how many memory does your card have and installs several other things that make your life easier and more "next-next-next-install-accept-enjoy".

Ah ! i don't know playonlinux, i knew wine so i went this way; + the tutorial on the forum helped it


I/ installed wine 1.6
II/ download and install eve offline
III/ run with /usr/bin/env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" DISPLAY=":0.0" wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1024x768 "C:\Games\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe"


now it work great Big smile after i edited regedit

Yeah it basically uses wine aswel but it adds an interface to search for the game/program you want to install and does the workarounds "known" to make it run properly, it basically does the same that you'll do but its all packed there, so all you need to do after the install is double click the desktop icon that the program creates you or simply go to the program itself and run the game from there, it also allows you to do several other configs after the install via interface like for example, change the Wine version.

You can find it on the Ubuntu Sofware Center ready to go if you are curious about it.

There are other similar programs like for example CrossOver but most of them are not as good OR you need to pay for them.

That is a pretty neat hack about the wine video memory.

I think the rest of us are using the card reference drivers and not the proprietary ones, just FYI. So the ones from ATI, not from Dell. At least on Linux.
