Can't bind to root surface with no fullscreen context.

Hello. I was trying to install the game : Heroes of might and magic 5 : Gold edition.
But when i try to start the game this comes up.

The command "/Users/antonstormwich/Desktop/Heroes of Might and Magic V/bin/H5_Game.exe" returned 148.

StdOut:

Does anubody have an answer?

As it happens, the "Can't bind ..." message is a red herring. That message, in and of itself, is benign.

However, that's not much comfort since there's clearly a real crash, too. Unfortunately, the debugging information that was dumped is not helpful.

It seems that CrossOver/Wine has responded to some request that HoM&M5 has made with an unexpected value, leading HoM&M5 to attempt to divide by zero. Not a lot to go on, there.

Have you checked out the page specifically about running HoM&M5 under CrossOver Games? In particular, check the forums and tips&tricks section.
