Syberia

Hi,

I have problem with running this game. I see only white background and buttons in menu. In the game I see only Kate and white background again. I have been testing wine 1.1.17, which has Silver rating and wine 1.1.39 (1.1.40 isnt at Mandriva repository yet), same problem.

Any ideas for resolving this problem, please?
Thanks ;)

I've encountered the same error currently ( black screen, but music playing ).
I've used any possible options but with no luck.

Solution was simple: I've downloaded "fixed" EXE from gamecopyworld. Now I have video, with Renderer opengl. native msvcrt and msvcp60, and Virtual Desktop enabled, but probably, all this is unnessessary, I'll test it some time later

Probably "black screen" is some kind of copy protection.

You did it !

I'm dealing with 'Black screen' since ... many times ...

A simple no-CD solved my problem !
Now Syberia work perfectly.
( well well DRM again ... )

Hi.

I have similar problem - Black screen but music playing. If I wait a little, I get to menu, but I can see only buttons and cursor, when I click Options, then Options menu is visible, but on the background, there is Main menu still visible. By clicking on New game, I can see subtitles, but nothing else.

I have a NoCD patch (had some debugger error without it). I also have msvcrt and msvcp60 DLLs as native, Virtual Desktop, Syberia set on Win98. I have also changed some in regedit - HKCU/Doftware/Wine/AppDefaults/Syberia.exe/Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer(string) to opengl.

Wine still keeps saying

fixme:d3d:stretch_rect_fbo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT (0x506) from glBlitFramebuffer() @ device.c / 6510
fixme:d3d:context_attach_surface_fbo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0x500) from glFramebufferTexture2DEXT() @ context.c / 267
fixme:d3d:context_attach_depth_stencil_fbo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0x500) from glFramebufferTexture2DEXT() @ context.c / 245

all around...

Do you have any ideas what should I try?

Any help is welcome. Thanks

I have the following problem with the game:
It starts and then the screen is white,the movies don't show up and the textures on the menus are missing.When I start a new game everything is white and I can only see the Character(not the walls or anything else.
Here is some output:


@ nvidia_texture_shader.c / 448
fixme:d3d:set_tex_op_nvrc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0x500) from set_tex_op_nvrc()
@ nvidia_texture_shader.c / 448

@ nvidia_texture_shader.c / 448
fixme:d3d:set_tex_op_nvrc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0x500) from set_tex_op_nvrc()


Is there any solution for this?

Was just testing the " no-CD " solution given by Night Nord to bypass the Black Screen problem and was face off a ... White screen instead with somes buttons and no decors ingame :

Just checked Pixel Shaders , Vertex Shaders and Virtual Desktop in Winecfg and now everything is working ;)

Sometimes can help changinc on /etc/xorg.conf
Section "Screen"
Defaultdepth from 32 or 24 on 16 !!!But i have some truble whith this changinc on ATI graphic gard
EndSection
Truble: my monitor BenQ FP71G+ can't work on this mode

Just testing Syberia on Wine 0.9.60

Remember me the old days : black screen with musics

Here's all my errors message :

Trying a native Msvcrt.dll , regsitry keys & many tweaks in Winecfg doesn't help.
If anyone have an idea on what happen , i've never seen the " iPixelFormat " line before.

I have an ATI Mobility X300 and uses ATI properitery drivers.
These drivers does not work in 16 bpp without the

Syberia outputs a debug log (debug.log) which says among others:

Exactly the same messages & black screen on Wine 0.9.40 , we can heard the music played & can click on the menu to play the game ( on a black screen , its funny : a new " alone in the dark ? " ^^ ) BUT :

When i tell to Wine to start in fullscreen mode and type an ALT+TAB , i can see the game !
But another problem , there's no animation , look like a screenshot , i need to type ALT+TAB every seconds to make myself the games's animation ( another funny thing ^^ )
Perhaps an option in the Xorg.conf ?

I ran on Zenwalk 4.6.1 on AMD64 3000+ & 7600GT on 100.14.11 driver.

ps : sorry for my english , hope you understand me :)

For me, in wine 0.9.42, everything is still black when alt-tabbing.
7600GT sounds like an NVIDIA card, right? I've this far
assumed that the bug is related to ATI driver and/or the
mobility x300 that I have.
But if you have an NVIDIA card, maybe it is some magic
xorg.conf setting that should be changed.
(I'm running kubuntu 7.04)

Sorry, I run wine 0.9.41.

I've seen many thing about DDRAW.DLL & D3D7 games
I'll try to find a dll patched ( regarding to Diablo for exemple )
Perhaps the way to play to this fantastic game :)

The patch forces you into the GDI mode and Syberia does only
shows up an error box saying that the 3D engine can't be started
and then quits. Anyway, I manually
applied the non-GID forcing part of the patch to wine 0.9.41
and tested to run Syberia with both GDI and OpenGL
as renderer. No luck :-( Syberia crashed at start-up in OpenGL
mode. Which makes sense considering the nature of the patch.

OK ! Solve for me ! ( wine 0.9.47 )

After tried many & many options with differents combinaisons : it work !

Set in your HKCU/Software/wine/Direct3D your DirectDrawRenderer string to opengl. ( GDI give me the same message as your post )

Then in your Winecfg :
- Set to Windows 98
- & uncheck all options in your Screen -> Windows Parameters
( no virtual desktop & others ... )

He works in fullscreen without any other options.
( my screen goes black if i check the third 3 options , running in windowed mode )

Hope that help you :)

ps : the " quit " menu result in a black screen so i quit with ALT+TAB grabbing my terminal & close it.
