Running in Linux with WINE

[sperez-salgado]

To override "Compatibility mode must be disabled" error message when using WINE on Linux, select Windows 7 as Windows version.

Hope this helps somebody.

Got rid of the error message but replaced it with Fatal Error d2dx::RenderContextResources::CreateVertexBuffer line 522 on Wine 9.2 on Wayland on Intel HD4000

Didn't test Wine 9.2 but Didn't run into this error using Wine-GE 8.26

Running Wayland on AMD Radeon RX 6950XT

Thanks @SleepingCrows, that worked! And it's actually in fullscreen instead of running in a box in the top left corner.

I also tried this with other titles that didn't run in fullscreen before. It worked for Kotor2, but not for BG2 Complete.

Actually, I spoke too soon. I had apparently disabled d2dx by removing the argument.

Same error as before.

Well, at least the original is in fullscreen, so that's something.

Assuming DXVK is enabled, trying running, or obtain the package that provides vulkaninfo . I only had a short time to check, but chances are it's a hardware limitation. I am aware that there are limitations with vulkan support on old hardware.

You can also enable the flag nocompatmodefix after copying d2dx-defaults.cfg to d2dx.cfg.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have vulkaninfo, but I'd still need to know what feature line 522 requires in order to make use of its output.

d2dx/src/d2dx/RenderContextResources.cpp

Line 522 in d95d19a

device->CreateBuffer(&vbDesc, NULL, &_vb));

Hardware limitation is my assumption as well, except it's not strictly a hardware limitation since it works fine in Windows, so it must then be a limitation with the Vulkan requirements of DXVK. Their wiki says:

VK_EXT_transform_feedback: Required for D3D10 and D3D11 support.

...which I have, according to vulkaninfo:

VK_EXT_transform_feedback : extension revision 1

I therefore assume I have D3D10 and 11 support (haven't looked up if it's possible to check that specifically -- the DXVK HUD only tells me which API level a game uses, not the max level supported). Since d2dx requires "DirectX 10.1" I don't know exactly what to make of this, other than that d2dx seems to require some specific feature.

d2dx works very well on Linux/Wine/DXVK. Except widescreen feature is missing in Diablo II, but present in LOD.
