OS X The Good Ol' Icewind Dale

Feeling a bit nostalgic, I bought Icewind Dale on GOG, but it doesn't seem to work on my Mac.

The log from the wrapped says:

fixme:d3d:init_driver_info Unable to find a driver/device info for vendor_id=0x10de device_id=0xa29 for driver_model=2

I tried searching the net, but google left me none the wiser. The GoG support seems very knowledgeable, but unfortunately none of their solutions work.

So before I grab the newly released enhanced version, which I dislike greatly (being one of those), I thought maybe there is someone here who has been where I am now.

Please help

It seems there's something missing from the wrapper tricks/fixes. Usually, this error is preceded by another one stating what the exact issue is (like missing some library or something).

Hey thanks for the reply!

Here is the full log generated by the test run:

BEGIN LOGGING SESSION
fixme:d3d:init_driver_info Unable to find a driver/device info for vendor_id=0x10de device_id=0xa29 for driver_model=2
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32a94c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_flip Ignoring flags 0x1.

Icewind Dale always switches to GT330m.

Cheers!

Hmm...I ran and played the Windows version of IWD on my Mac on GOG, but it's been a while. What version of WINE is in the wrapper? Last I checked, GOG seems to use surprisingly old versions of WINE in their pre-built wrappers.

It's the 2.5.12.

I also have Planescape Torment from GoG. Same wrapper version, but it runs perfectly.

I strictly play the Windows version, so I d/led OSX installer. Like many other emulated games it only runs when copied to apps folder. Done that. Then it prompted me that it wanted to download some files to support xhtml or whatever, afterwhich it ran like it should. rMBP w nVidia 650M

Oh thanks!

Yeah the wine gecko installer prompts me also. Did it install the gecko successfully?

nerowolfe said:

NP. Yeah, took an odd while to d/l but otherwise installation was a snap (a sign of bad server connection/possible corrupted files in your case perhaps?) Anyway it's noteworthy that I can't remember other IE games I purchased off GOG downloading anything that is not included in the installer file proper.

Ok, after numerous attempts to install Gecko I finally did it!

But it didn't change anything.

rampancy said:

Ah, that's the version of Wineskin itself, not the version of WINE that it uses. If you open up the Wineskin app within the .app of the game (using "Show Package Contents..."), it'll tell you what version of WINE it's on.

nerowolfe seems to have it figured out; it looks like a potential issue of corrupted installation files. Let us know how it works out for you!

Aha!

My bad. If I go to advanced, then I can see Version: 1.0.0.11. This is just below Menubar Name: Icewind Dale, so it looks like the version of Icewind Dale(?).

Next to the Wrapper Version is Engine: GOG1.4.1_SOCKETFIX.

Planescape Torment reads Engine: WS9Wine1.7.14.

After installing Gecko I still get the same log:

BEGIN LOGGING SESSION
fixme:d3d:init_driver_info Unable to find a driver/device info for vendor_id=0x10de device_id=0xa29 for driver_model=2
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32a94c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_flip Ignoring flags 0x1.

Could it be that the wineskin is not compatible with my graphic card, or maybe corrupted in that regard?

EDIT: Re-downloaded Icewind Dale many times, so I must be getting the same copy as nerowolfe, which is obviously ok on their setup.
