Hi

Just installed Play On Linux and NWN2 - the install process seemed to go fine but I am unable to successfully start NWN2. I get the following errors:
* Your video card has less than 128 mb of video memory
* Unable to detect a video card with hardware 3D acceleration
* Hardware 3D acceleration appears to be disabled

I am running proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu 8.10. The video card is a GeForce 8800 GT.

Checked the POL settings and the video card is recognised and the 3D test runs fine.

Grateful for any pointers.

Thanks

Solved by:
* adding the following lib overrides: devenum, dxdiagn
* copying devenum.dll d3dx9_30.dll dxdiagn.dll to ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NWN2/drive_c/windows/system32/
* running regedit and adding the following string values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Wine\ Direct3D
OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo
UseGLSL = enabled
VideoMemorySize = 512

You don't need to do all thoses things, the pol installer already do it, I've checked the install process with my nwn2 dvd and all goes fine, nothing to add, run flawlessly without touching anytning...

BTW, I solved the DX9 install problem (broken link).

So be sure to have lastest POL version, use the "update/refresh" button and try installing nwn2 again (use terminal to see if something wrong) by using the "Install" button.

Report if you still have problems.

Hello, I am having exactly the same problem.

I installed the latest version of POL this morning and then NWN2. It ran through the installation properly with only the .NET problem and asked me how much RAM I have on my graphics card (512). When I run the 3D test on POL it works fine. I have even installed the advanced POL WINE configuration plugin and told it how much RAM my card has, but I get exactly the same errors.

However, when I try to run NWN 2 (version 1.00) it gives me the three errors in the first post and then dies.

I have also tried the fix in the second post and that doesn't work for me either, though I am not sure which exe file to apply it to.

I have the following set-up for my computer:

AMD Athlon64 5200+
Ubuntu 8.10
2 Gb RAM
512mb GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS
POL 3.2.2

I would really get this working, my other alternative is to install it under Windows using Virtual Box, but I would rather not, as I can only use 256 Mb of graphics RAM and 1 Gb of my system RAM.

I have it working now, though it is not working properly, I get the feeling that it is the updates that I installed that may be the problem.

The easiest solution I used for getting it started is to set the two overrides and then use the POL advanced WINE configuration plugin to set my graphics card to 256Mb or half of what my card has and it loaded fine from there.

Hi, all.

I think I may have a clue... when I install, I get the following errors:

When I look at the files, sure enough there's no write permissions. This seems strange to me, since they were created by me using the script. Any ideas?

(Needless to say without the .reg updates, it's not working. I'm going to try them manually and see how it goes.)

FWIW, I'm running Mandriva 2009.0 using KDE 4.1 with a NVidia 8600 video card.

Thanks in advance!

Huzzah!

After looking through the script and manually making changes to the registry, it immediately crashed just like before...

But, I was able to revert to a previous version of Wine (Tools>Manage Wine Versions and Settings>Environment). Using 0.9.58 it works great!

I'm thinking about trying to sneak to a higher version... I'll keep you posted.

I'm having an issue trying to install this game. When it says it's creating the wine prefix, it locks up. From a terminal is says the following:

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/sam/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NWN2'
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/sam/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NWN2' has been updated.

Am I doing something wrong?

Quick update, I was able to get it past that part by remove all of wine and playonlinux, deleting my .wine and .Playonlinux directories and starting over. Now it gets to the point where it downloads all of the Wine DirectX9.0c update and then locks up right after it's done downloading. I appreciate any help yall can provide. I've been wanting to play this game. I'm running 9.04 Ubuntu with the latest version of wine.

Ok, this link in the script is dead.

http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/files/microsoft.vc80.crt.zip

I tried updating it with a working link, http://draconianzone.googlecode.com/files/Microsoft.VC80.CRT.zip, but when I update the link and run the script it pukes everywhere. How can I update this script without it crapping out?

How can I update this script without it crapping out?

you should change

POL_SetupWindow_download "$LNG_DX9_DL" "Never Winter Nights 2" "http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/files/microsoft.vc80.crt.zip"

to

POL_SetupWindow_download "$LNG_DX9_DL" "Never Winter Nights 2" "http://draconianzone.googlecode.com/files/Microsoft.VC80.CRT.zip"


and

unzip microsoft.vc80.crt.zip

to

unzip Microsoft.VC80.CRT.zip

Now I'm getting this.....

I don't know what you did but all you have to do is to go to this script site and copy all from "#!/bin/bash" to "exit" to a text file without extensions and change in it what i wrote on Sunday 26 April 2009 at 8:55

Then to install you have to go to "tools->run a non-official script" and choose your script

Awesome, it's working great now. I didn't get all the script copied previously. Here is the working script.

Do the expansions install the same way?

Well, the install worked fine. Now it says I have less than 128mb of video ram, I have 512 and chose that after the install. And after I click ok on that it says it's unable to detect any hardware 3d cards. Then it closes. Oh well.....

Let me guess, you've got ATI graphic card?
Do Settings->system and then chose "3D test" to check if you really haven't got 3d card after 30 second close this window and check what are the fps. If they are below 2000 fps then something is wrong with your graphic drivers.

Besides you can post what do you see if you run playonlinux from terminal and then the game.

Then everything is ok with your graphic card.
satellite360 seemed to have got the same issues as you. Did you tried to do what he did in his second post?

It may be also that something changed with wine. Then you should try to download wine 1.1.10 from PlayOnLinux (HOW TO is here if you would not know how to do it)

No luck. Now it comes to the, "You don't have 128mb of video ram" error and when I click ok it just closes. Nothing in the terminal.
