what options are you using with wine?
e.x: wine -- hl.exe -game cs ect..?

Did you install the drivers for your videocard correctly? including going into XFree86 and changing nv to nvidia?

I'm not sure if this works but I think it would, start TuxRacer(it's a game that comes packaged with redhat), it runs in OpenGL and if your videocard is setup properly it should play smoothly and quite nicely. Just a test, may not be relevant, but try it.

just quick ideas from a newb, but hey I have half-life running with wine perfectly on redhat 9.1

TuxRacer starts up fine but is real slow and jerky. How do I change the XFree86 and configure OpenGL?

what kind of video card do you have?

Nvidia GeForce 2, 32 Mb

First of all, hi all ! :-)


I am trying to make waracraft 3 working with WineX 3.1 rpm precompiled on a mandrake 9.1.

Here what I have got :

[chris@localhost winex 3.1]$ wineserver && wine /mnt/cdrom/install.exe
fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetIdeInterface CD-ROM device with major ID 11 not supported
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer support MIDI in. Not supported yet (please report)
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x404f093c,0x406d19b8,0x404f05c0,0x404f0550):stub?
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x404f0554,0x406d19b8,0x404f01d8,0x404f0168):stub?
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x404f016c,0x406d19b8,0x404efdf0,0x404efd80):stub?
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x404efd84,0x406d19b8,0x404efa08,0x404ef998):stub?

(sorry for the length, but I want you to have all clues possible to help me)

What I have :
Mandrake 9.1, sb1024, Athlon 2100+, Geforce2GTS

What I tried :
- Recopy msvcrt.dll in my ~/fake_windows/system32/ directory. (I don't understand why fixeme:msvcrt__CxxFrameHandler problem still occurs)
- check that the package was precompiled on mandrake 9.1

I want to notice that the drive from where I am trying to run the install is not a SCSI cdrom drive.

Any idea ? Can you explain me how you fix your problem to setup counterstrike ?

Any help would be appreciated a lot !!!


PS : sorry for my poor english, not my native language.

You don't need to start the wineserver separately. Run wine with the "--dll msvcrt=n" switch to make it use the version you copied across.

First thanks for you to answer that quickly !

With your advice I tried :

wine --dll msvcrt=n /mnt/cdrom/install.exe
fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetIdeInterface CD-ROM device with major ID 11 not supported
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer support MIDI in. Not supported yet (please report)
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x405994e0,0x406d19b8,0x40599164,0x405990f4):stub?
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x405990f8,0x406d19b8,0x40598d7c,0x40598d0c):stub?
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40598d10,0x406d19b8,0x40598994,0x40598924):stub?



It doesn't help :-(

I forgot to mention last post that I have NVidia driver up to date with nvidia screen at startup.

Any other idea ?

Make sure the dll is in the fake windows/system directory, and that it's actually called msvcrt.dll

Sorry, I said in the previous post that I had checked that I was in fake_windows/system32. I meant in fake_windows/system not system32.

Anyway It is and was in fake_windows/system, and I am quite agree with you, I think it comes from the fact that wine can't find this dll in my fake windows drive. But I can't understand why :-(

and still the same problem, nothing change in the message previously posted.
