Mount&Blade: Warband > Town Watch - Warband Tech Support
Warband in Linux
diavel:
I ordered the game and downloaded trial while waiting (cannot wait). The game is definitely playable after sound and mouse fix. It's not slower nor faster than M&B.
BUT
I've got one irritating issue. The same was with m&b. Textures of shields and armor depicting heraldic show some random weird parts of some texture files. Textures work for normal shields - wooden, metal, belonging to members of caravan or bandit packs. The same issue is with people shown in party menu and my character in character menu. Switching dx7 <-> dx9 changes something but doesn't help. The same issue is when I enter Custom Battle menu. Under character selector I see some part of font graphic file.
It's not that big deal but it's irritating and feels like I'm playing some kind of pre-alpha version...

Anyone else using wine getting the garbled / invisible font bug all the time in single player? I've played the multi player beta for about six months with hardly any trouble, but recently (since beta version 0.800) the font bug others talked about appeared and has become quite frequent, especially in SP. It seems to happen either after talking to some NPC - only part of the time though, haven't figured out a pattern, or sometimes when opening the merchant windows - which has seemed repeatable in the same place after restarting the game, as if a certain font used in an item description is causing the bug, or something like that.
I'm using wine 1.1.41 and nvidia drivers 195.36.15, and when run from the terminal it seems likely that this line of the output occurs each time the font goes bad:
--- Code: ---fixme:d3d:color_fill_fbo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION (0x506) from glClear @ device.c / 5489
--- End code ---
I checked when that line was last changed with "git blame" in the source code, and it seems it and the surrounding lines are from 2007... and I don't know much about opengl programming. I searched the net for that error message, but didn't find anything interesting. I installed the warband release in a fresh wine directory with just the mouse fix.
It's annoying that I've been playing M&B and the warband beta for so long now with hardly a problem, and now just before the release a problem is introduced that forces restarting the game every five minutes... :| Any fixes or workarounds would be much appreciated.
diavel: the heraldic shield and indicator bubble texture corruption problem has existed ever since I joined the beta at 0.580, haven't been able to figure out any pattern or likely cause of it; as sometimes everything looks mostly perfect except for a few white lines across the bubbles, other times the players get random heraldry that often changes, and occasionally the shields get random other textures like trade goods...
denghez:
i have the disapearing fonts when i start travelling, i cant play the game, can i resolve this somehow?
Vornne:
After a lot of testing of various combinations of options, it seems switching to DirectX 7 mode stops the font bug happening. Which means you don't get the nice new warband eye candy, but at least you can play for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Archonsod:
Sounds like a driver issue, but I'm not sure whether it would be the actual drivers or the way wine is handling the DX calls.
