Well, i did some test and i find out the next...

On a virtualbox without 3d hardware acceleration it shows that error. With 3d acceleration it works.. slowly but works. On my notebook that havent hardware acceleration it shows that error also.

My conclusion that error means that opengl is not working. No idea why shows that on wine.

I hope my info gonna be helpfull.

The pngdecode error is not from OpenGL. Can you post the output from starting playonlinux from the terminal? OpenGL will NOT work without hardware acceleration, so if its not working, you dont have the openGL libraries installed for your system.

Ok guys, so i installed an OpenGL test app (fogcity)

optirun wine fogcity.exe

And it works more than fine.

So i'm quite sure it's a bug in the game BUT that it gets triggered by wine and other weird windows configs (lack of opengl and/or specific drivers) ;)

Sigh. This is like the 5th time I have seen this today. Im going to have to make a sticky apparently. Its getting VERY tiresome repeating the same thing over and over because no one reads the posts that say PLEASE READ or read the manual.

$ optirun wine Evoland.exe -opengl

This is PlayOnLinux, NOT WINE. You do NOT run POL like this, as you are bypassing PlayOnLinux altogether.

running it from optirun or wine is 100% irrelevant in these forums. It has 0 (zero) to do with running an application through PlayOnLinux.

Have you read any of the documentation?

If you arent running PlayOnLinux, then whatever you are doing is useless in this forum and trying to help you.

Run PlayOnLinux, NOT WINE, and then I can help. If you are trying to run it like that, this is the wrong forum.

I'm on debian and i have the same issue.

Nope, because you arent even running the software that this site is named after. :)

I can really only help you troubleshoot POL. If you arent running it, your problem is not the same.

windows configs (lack of opengl and/or specific drivers)

Just to re-iterate:

Your openGL drivers have nothing to do with Windows, nor wine, NOR playonlinux. Those are installed into your linux OS. If they are not installed, you will not have direct rendering.

I know i have the latest nvidia driver (310.44) and it works very well.

I'm trying to install from POL and will give feedback.

For sure.

I know that when you install the nvidia drivers from their site, it asks if you want to install the 32-bit OpenGL libraries (if you are on 64 bit), and I have accidentally hit NO before. hahaha. Its always something to check.

If you start POL from the terminal, it will say in the output right as its starting, that its checking for direct rendering, and it will tell you if its installed or not. :)

Note that the game requires gdiplus for the game installer (why no gdiplus_xp from POL tools? gdiplus is 300mb, gdiplus_xp is quick to install) and AdobeAIR.

I've installed both, i ran the installer fine, then the game (just ran playonlinux through optirun as the POL var PRE_WINE was not used when i was using it to use "optirun".)

I got:

and it opened the same error than the first poster (in the black window of the game):

Edited by siegfried

It may be something needs a patch in a POL build of wine to get around it? Hmmm. Know any C++?

Im not sure why gdiplus_xp is not there. You would have to ask one of the other devs. Im sure there is a reason for it, but I couldnt tell you what it was. lol.

This is exactly what got me wanting to learn programming. So that I could do things like this. Still learnin. :)

Hmmmm. I hope they patch that up. Reminds me of when CoD: MW came out, and it had hella glitches in it, and it took activision a year to patch all of them. They dropped the ball with Prototype for PC, as well. It was plagued by a random crash, that just happened. No matter what, different times, different hardware.... They actually never ever fixed it or released a patch that effectively took care of it at all.

How long has this glitch been coming up with this game (whether on windows or wine)?

I don't know when searching for this error someone had it with the Steam version and another one with the GOG version but i guess it's specific to their windows install or drivers, because many people play the game fine.

It has to do with window and/or resolution changes, look here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/haxelang/tCtgvJNivoU

"When I press escape in an attempt to lave fullscreen and quit, I get the following error:
An ActionScript error has occurred:
Error: Error #3694: The object was disposed by an earlier call of dispose() on it."

Edited by siegfried

aha..

Looking at github, it *may* be fixed:

https://github.com/ncannasse/h3d/commit/8564d1093baa74d84dd59f41432eaab329d53fba

Now we need to wait for a new version of Evoland.

Edited by siegfried

There is a patch of Evoland today.
Unfortunately, it still not possible to run the game, here's the new error:

(null): Error: Error #3694
(null): 800x600

(800x600 being replaced by whichever resolution you have).
This corresponds to the github commit i posted in my previous message and means the configureBackBuffer fails. So AIR is failing to work properly :(

Interesting. Ok. This is good info, though. I know that air can use all sorts of different languages, so I wonder what other components might be missing from it? I mean Air in general? Im kind of just shooting in the dark, though.

Hello,
I've been struggling with evoland for a week.

I also get the same error but have found some more things that I'd like to share, maybe someone else can come up with something:

I have managed to get the game running by disabling Flash's hardware accelaration, I did so by installing firefox in the same virtual drive and right clicking on a flash object to get flash settings.
The fps are horrible and I'm still in the 2d worlds, but everything else works fine, it is still annoying but at least I can play the game. Re-enabling Hardware accelaration results in the same error.

I'm using the steam version, therefore I don't have installer for the game and can't use it to make a nre virtual drive, I used the steam to create it.
Debugger doesn't give any evoland related output.
