Hello everybody!

 

I've installed Combat mission 2; Barbarossa to Berlin from Battlefront, and i can't make it run.

I've always get this message "could not initialize direct3d".

Here the log:

I tried many directx versions (d3dx9 and now d3dx10_1) and it never works.

How could i do?

 

My computer:

laptop Dell XPS m1330 fr

Core2Duo T7500

RAM 4 GO

nvidia GeForece M8400 GS with nouveau driver

ubuntu 18;04.2 LTS  Bionic with xfce (xubuntu)

wine version 4.0

If someone can help me, thanks!

In this page : http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/Manual_Installations 
the step #1 show very bad reports on appdb.winehq.org frown

However as this is a 2002 game, perhaps it may run with some tricks (POL functions) or a newer Wine version.
