Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm having an odd problem when I run Avernum 2 in Wine on Linux Mint 13. I get the normal sounds and the normal delays when I start the game, but the screen is black when it should display the Spidweb logo and the intro splash screen. Once it reaches the main menu, everything behaves normally. Is there anything I can do to make the splash screens appear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Also, this only happens with Avernum 2, not Avernum 1 or 3, or Blades of Avernum. This happened on my old computer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) see this post in BoE for a possible solution to try. Edited June 17, 2013 by A Closer Yell clarify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 env WINEPREFIX="/home/ados/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/ados/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Avernum\ 2/Avernum\ 2.lnk That's the launcher command Wine put in my Mint Menu by default when I installed the software. It's worth noting that the problem occurs even when I navigate directly to the installation directory and double-click "Avernum 2.exe". I actually did have that problem with BoE even with those commands in place, and what I had to do was create a shell script for each of the three BoE programs, with a cd command to the BoE folder prior to launching the applications. ---- Also, a new problem. I installed Nethergate: Resurrection, and every time I move my cursor on or off a button, the screen flashes black for half a second as the graphic changes. It also flashes when I select a side, and it flashes several times when I accept the selection and move to party creation. I haven't tested it beyond there though.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I made a hackjob shell script to display the splash screens at the appropriate times when I launch the game, using the Eye of MATE Image Viewer. I still don't know what to do about the lag in N:R, but I don't plan to play that for some time, so it can wait I guess. If anyone has any clues, they're still welcome though.
