| 665154 | 2008-05-03 00:58:00 | I've already asked this question on the Ubuntu user forums but no-one will give me a straight answer. I have a problem with WINE (latest version) When I try to run Direct3d games I always get the AVIFileExit() Stub error in terminal. I am using the latest ATI Fglrx driver and using Kubuntu 7.10. I still get the same issue when I change the UseGLSL value and Video memory options and whatnot in regedit so could someone please help me. Could this have something to do with the fact that Linux cannot play AVI files? It should also be noted that I am an Ex-Windows user and I have a dual-boot setup. I would like to get this problem fixed as I would like to make the jump to Linux Full-time. |

| 665155 | 2008-05-03 04:35:00 | Update it to 8.04, which just came out | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 665156 | 2008-05-03 04:48:00 | Can you provide more information? Unless we know which game you are trying to play, you're unlikely to get much help - you should be aware that wine is not a magic bullet, and many DirectX games simply will not work with it. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 665157 | 2008-05-03 09:02:00 | I am using a Radeon HD2600Pro and the latest Drivers. Every game using Direct3D screws up like this (counter-strike source, hl2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Battlefield, Vietcong etc) And I have tried the -novid command on the source engine games with no result |

| 665158 | 2008-05-03 11:02:00 | And have you installed all the directx patches to wine and recompiled? Last time I looked, wine wasn't distributed with them, although that was a while ago, so things may have changed since then. Which version of wine are you using? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 665159 | 2008-05-03 11:04:00 | I'm Using the latest one, and where can I get these patches? | Binary_bandit (9508) | ||
| 665160 | 2008-05-03 11:08:00 | Can you be more specific what you mean by latest? The latest version in your distro repositories? The latest from another repository? The latest stable version from the wine site? The latest CVS/SVN snapshot? As far as the patch locations, I have no idea - I'm not a gamer. All I know is they definitely exist, and are unlikely to be in the current wine releases unless something has changed. Maybe try google. Note that you will also need to install the build tools necessary to compile wine, unless you can find a prepatched binary package somewhere. Another option is to just buy cedega (http://www.transgaming.com/) (a fork of wine dedicated entirely to gaming). |

| 665161 | 2008-05-03 11:53:00 | Another vote for Cedega, it'll sort your problems, plain & simple :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 665162 | 2008-05-17 00:29:00 | Ok, I looked in Dxdiag and It Displays my Graphics card as X11 Windowing system. Does this mean that I need to Install Windows Graphics drivers? | Binary_bandit (9508) | ||
