WA + VMware... Black screen issue

[Turko]

Hey

Well im still trying to install wa on linux... now using vmware (emulating windows xp) and i cant make it work...

In graphics advanced options:

When i select direct draw 8 or direct draw 32: Black screen when i start worms
When i select direct3d 7 : it works but awfully slow
When i select direct3d 9 software or shader: ive an error and the setup reset to direct draw 32

Can someone help me? I think the best option is direct draw 32 (if i can make it work)

Yep, 3.7.2.1 and no... i think the lag is not a hardware problem... my notebook specs

The wk modules should be loaded automaticly in 3.7.2.1 idk wtfh, try use wormkitds like alternative.
about lags... do u have winetricks\winecfg stuff, try to change something there, ppls play crysis, skytim and nothing laging lol. You can also read how they running those games, mb u will get some good informating for wa too.

I have nothing to say anymore, need try it on my pc ;p  gl.

second os! xd

most wormkit modules should work fine and they can be loaded automatically by wa 3.7.2.1.

Wich option i should use for worms in linux? Direct 3d or Direct draw? Im trying again using wine and seems there is a way to use direct 3d, but at the moment is not working for me...

Btw, direct draw works, but laggy

Oh now i remember when i tried to install it the console said it was already installed... maybe that dx instalation is corrupted or something, ill delete it and install it again.

# wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
# sudo apt-get install cabextract
# sh winetricks directx9

[StepS]

you better use directdraw in wine

[Rogi]

you better use directdraw in wine

What the difference ? imo, all modes must work well
