LIMBO Forum

I tried to run the Limbo demo from Steam, using Crossover Games 10.2.0, on Mac OS X 10.7.2, on a Mac Mini from mid 2011 (Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB ) but I get the following message:

"Video card is below minimum system requirement. You need a video card with at least Shader Model 3.0".

I have checked Wine Config, and Pixel shader is enabled. I have tried creating a 1024x768 virtual desktop, but the error persists.

If anybody have any suggestion to troubleshoot this, it will be welcome.

Thanks,

Hi,

...you could try....

[i] Mine said this, too. The following fixed it:
1) winetricks d3dx9
2) Go into winecfg, Libraries, change d3dx9_43 to "builtin" [/i]

citing: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24128&iTestingId=65722 ('vertex shader error')

....you don't need the first step, just step 2)...

Cheers!

ps: I don't have this title - just passing on clues ; if it still doesn't
work, then it may be wine version related (cxg is currently built upon
wine-1.3.9) ....

Thanks!

I've tried it, but it didn't help.

I have also run the game with +loaddll to check if other native d3d dlls were being loaded, and I have changed 3dcompiler_43.dll and d3dx9_36.dll to builtin, to see if it helped, but it didn't. Maybe I should try with a newer Wine version, or try it on Linux instead. Probably I will just forget it and play something else. Thanks anyway. 😊

...hmm...you know, I wonder if that advice is correct from winehq - I
just installed the demo via Steam and it ran as is out of the box. When
I get around to kicking the imac back into osx, I'll see if that same
result is evident....

Update:

...same result on the 11,2 iMac w/ HD5670 video, MacOS 10.7.2 ...
worked straight up via Steam w/ CXG 10.2.0 (albeit with the annoying
22pixel top mac menu bar showing in fullscreen), but otherwise there
was aught to do....works fine...

edit: my guess would be the inane intel HD 3000 gpu you have =)
