mol3earth	I tried the search bar and nothing popped up, I figured this would have been a covered topic but perhaps not. Attempting to Play Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on PlayOnLinux with Wine Ver. 1.5.9, 1.5.4 and 1.2.3 Get to the Menu and click Play. Box appears with "Render Creation Error: "System description not found"" The "Debug 'Code'" is as follows err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Failed to find a suitable pixel format. err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter Direct3D8 is not available without OpenGL. the same issue in all three versions Also there is no sound when the menu pops up, should play music or something i believe. I believe it is related to my 64-bit machine trying to run 32-bit ? Edited by mol3earth

petch	Do you get any warning when PlayOhLinux starts? ^{My scripts wiki: https://github.com/petchema/playonlinux/wiki} ^{GOGmix: https://www.gog.com/en/mix/playonlinux_install_scripts}

mol3earth	Yes, sorry I forget to mention or post it. Here it is, and it does confirm my suspicions " PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries. You might encounter problem with your games "

mol3earth	Ok, so I looked up that issue and it looks like i need 32-bit libraries, as it suggests. I don't know where to get these or how to install them or how to let PlayOnLinux know I have them or where they are. thanks so far.

petch	You need to fix this first indeed. How to fix it depends both on your hardware and on your distribution, so it's difficult to give detailed instructions (there's a "hardware acceleration under Linux" thread around, but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is). ^{My scripts wiki: https://github.com/petchema/playonlinux/wiki} ^{GOGmix: https://www.gog.com/en/mix/playonlinux_install_scripts}

mol3earth	well, if you can be of help i would be highly appreciative. i use Crashbang linux video card is HIS ATI Raden HD 5830 AMD phenom 4 64-bit it looks like my distro (and many Debian distro's) come "stock" with some 32 bit libs, but these apparently don't help.
