ENGINE ERROR by new iMac 24"_early 2009/ATI 4850

Hello!

After I installed COG 7.2.0 and install Steam with CS:Source, and I change to 1920 x 1200 the game goes down with

ENGINE ERROR
failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer

Its in all graphic solutions!
Can you help me??
☹️

Wel...heres a summerised view point from the internet...

For information on the CMeshDX8:LockIndexBuffer error, please read this article on Steam Support. To summarize, this error can be caused by one of the following reasons:

  1. Not enough free page pool memory. This could be caused by too many other programs running, too small pagefile size, or a computer with lower end or old hardware.
  2. Do not Alt+Tab when in-game. Your computer might not be able to allocate enough memory to render graphics.
  3. Outdated driver for an ATI video card.

ITs important you update your graphic card driver..On the other hand you could try fiddling with hardware acceleration on your sound card..works for some people..

you could also try to specify video memory size ...with regedit in HKEY_CURRENTUSER>>>Software>>>Wine>>>Direct3D (Reported to work for some people)

Ah well...do tell on how it goes and i will try to help

Thank you!

  • The new iMac 24" run with 4GB RAM. So i think, thats enough.
    • in WINE Registry, what for Memory Size I must write down?
      "ab" Standart REG_SZ nothing <-----????
      "ab" useGLSL REG_SZ disabled

Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of your registry of the direct3d folder?

On my registry...i realised that glsl is disabled for ati .

Maybe you could navigate to HKEY_CURRENTUSER>>>Software>>>Wine>>>Direct3D
Create a new string called "VideoMemorySize". Add the amount of your video in memory in megabytes into the data field. Eg if you have 256mbs of video ram add 256 to the data field.

Give it a try? Ati drivers are known to be not recognised

Sorry.... but nothing work!

😭

Hi Ralph,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I can't find much information about
this error in Codeweavers' back files, but I've found quite a few forums online
where windows users have experienced this issue (or seen the same error
message).

If you haven't already tried the following steps, please do so:

  • Make sure your nvidia drivers as as up-to-date as they can possibly be
  • try adding '-dxlevel 80', or even '-dxlevel 70' to the launch properties of
    the game
  • reboot your machine (surely you've already tried this)
  • remove and reinstall Crossover & Steam

Please let me know if any of these steps change the behavior.

Quoted from Jack Phinney from http://www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=710695

Oh yes btw..how much video memory did you specify in the direct3d registry?
Try setting a lower screen resolution and see if it works. You can either do that by setting steam in a wine virtual desktop or lunch option command
-sw followed by -h and -w . -h is height -w is width ...value goes beside it ...

Hm..keep us up to date ..thanks ^^

Hello!

It works!! 😅 😅 😅

I try adding '-dxlevel 80' an its works fine!!!!!

Thanks

😯 😀

Your Welcome ^^
Glad to help you
