Games menu wrong

Open actraiser30 opened this issue 1 year ago • 15 comments

Hello I have a raspberry pi 4

And tried a few games

The 3 specific games have the same problem in the menu only

Age of empires 3 Age of mythology Age of mythology the titans expansion

The main game menu shows unreadable or the font is wrong or it shows nothing from letters in the menu only empty boxes Is there a setting or something I can do to try and ix this?

Did you try to install corefonts with winetricks?

ptitSeb avatar Oct 21 '23 19:10 ptitSeb

No I will try that and let you know

There is no corefonts in the software list of winetricks,I have wine 6.0.4 is that's the issue? Does it needs newer wine? Is there a way to download and install corefonts manual?? Thanks

image corefonts is defently something winetricks can install. And it's usualy the 1st one to install for windows compatibility. just do winetricks corefonts and it will install the fonts (you might want to install cabextract and 7z before, using sudo apt install cabextract p7zip-full)

Myabe try with software rendering, to check if it's an issue with box86 or with the mesa driver.

ptitSeb avatar Oct 22 '23 17:10 ptitSeb

Sorry check it from were?

Look here: https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html

use LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 wine MyStuff.exe for example. That will be slow, but using a reference software renderer. If it works fine (but slow), then it's an issue with the Pi Mesa driver. If it's still wrong, that it's probably box86.

I tried everything,installed also game thought wine inside the drive_c did not work also,it's a font issue,is there a way to set the buildin fonts to override mode to use the buildin version like you can do with directx and other utils?

I managed to run it in software mode with the menus correct but it's too slow and unplayable,any tips to make it faster?? Maybe to use something like ddraw?

What version of Raspberry Pi OS are you using? The issue with the messed menu fonts in Age of Mythology is a MESA problem which was debugged by Salva (MicroLinux) months (a year?) ago, the fix should have been incorporated in the code ( I lost track of the issue where this was discussed elsewhere). It is gone / I no longer have it with Bookworn - Raspberry Pi OS Release date: October 10th 2023. AOM is running fine.

Thx for the response

In what mesa version this issue is fixed ???

I tried with buster and bullseye the menu and in-game dialogs were either missing or incorrectly displayed,in bookworm did not have that issue.

Thanks

I believe this was the the gitlab issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/6027 You can probably get the answer to "In what mesa version this issue is fixed ???" from the commits history.

Roburetto avatar Nov 11 '23 13:11 Roburetto

Cannot Install in buster mesa 22 or higher needs libdrm-dev v2.4.109 and buster latest available is 2.4.100...
