Problem - SOLVED - Problem with latest Orbiter build on Linux

[johnnymanly]

Is anyone successfully running the latest Orbiter on Linux (1/17/2024)?
With DX9 client I'm getting a crash when the Orbiter Launchpad starts.
No crash with DX7 version.

wine: Call from 7BD2BD08 to unimplemented function d3d9.dll.20, aborting

Most likely wine doesn't support following function:

g_pD3DObject = Direct3DCreate9On12(D3D_SDK_VERSION, &args, 1);

So, just add it to wine and problem solved.

Thanks...

I think I have the same problem.

How does one "add" that code to Wine?

 

[johnnymanly]

This may be something VKD3D will have to take care of.
I'm only just looking into it.

Just redirect it to Direct3DCreate9() function.

LPD3D9DEVICE9 Direct3DCreate9On12()
{
    return Direct3DCreate9()
}

Just redirect it to Direct3DCreate9() function.

LPD3D9DEVICE9 Direct3DCreate9On12()
{
    return Direct3DCreate9()
}

I should probably explain that I am a simple user. I'm afraid everything you are telling me is sailing over my head. How is this done?

@jarmonik : Couldn't it be decided in D3D9Client.cpp at runtime with something like this?

bool D3D9Client::clbkInitialise()
{
    // ...

    g_pD3DObject = OapiExtension::RunsUnderWINE()
        ? Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION)
        : Direct3DCreate9On12(D3D_SDK_VERSION, &args, 1);

    // ...
}

 

[jarmonik]

Probably, yes. But it would likely require use of GetProcAddress() to dynamically link into it. I don't really expect wine developers to resolve the missing function issue, so, we should proceed as you suggested. But I am working on another issue right now.

 

[johnnymanly]

Thank you all for looking into this. You are appreciated.

Did you try https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk ?

Yes. I think the problem is Wine not knowing what to do with D3D9on12.

Yes. I think the problem is Wine not knowing what to do with D3D9on12.

You're just messing with me now...
Changing from "true full screen" to "full screen window" and it runs for me.
Thanks Muchly!

 

[johnnymanly]

Just redirect it to Direct3DCreate9() function.

LPD3D9DEVICE9 Direct3DCreate9On12()
{
    return Direct3DCreate9()
}

Solved, thanks to @Ajaja

 

[johnnymanly]

That was quick... newest release does not require DXVK.
Runs fine on regular wine.
