GW doesn't start because can't initialise 3D output

Hi, i'm not very good with Linux, but i like to mess with computers in general. Here is what i found under Google:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Disables 3D Acceleration For Guest VMs With GNOME Boxes / Virt-Manager

Test this (?) ->

Your graphical issues may be related to the use of Wayland. By default, 22.04 is configured to use Wayland, after a fresh install and even after upgrading, and even on Nvidia cards, where Wayland support is very young.

You therefore may have better luck running on Xorg for the time being. To switch to Xorg, log out. Before entering the password, select the cog wheel in the bottom right corner and select "Ubuntu on Xorg".

If you later wish to try Wayland again, do the same but select "Ubuntu" instead.

Or that, involving the GPU driver integrated in the CPU (?)

I experienced all of these issues at some point and I think I have figured out the solution. There is something wrong with the 510 version of the NVIDIA driver that is marked as "proprietary, tested" in 22.04 LTS.

To fix the graphical problems after you load into the game, downgrade your graphics driver to version 470. In Ubuntu, you can do this using the "Additional Drivers" program. After a restart, the problems should go away.

In any case you are by far the only one to have this problem with version 22.04 ->

Ubuntu LTS 22.04 3D problem videogames

Wine is indeed not a virtual machine, but uses similar functions.

If the problem occurred with version 22.04, it is a software problem related to this version. Only a new installation of the old version will prove 100% that this is the case or not. So the 2013 topic is HS and talks about a general graphics problem, not just vis a vis Wine.

Now i don't know if you have done a "clean install" (installation without data recovery, in a first step, on a blank disk) or a simple update. If you were on Mac OS i could go much further with you, but i don't know how to interpret the system report files of Unbutu.

I also suck at English, i translate my texts with DeepL and the pages with a web browser extension. But the Unbutu forums, exist in all languages, just find the right one. On these forums, i think some people will be able to interpret your requested system reports and help you with more precision (or eliminate some leads).

Now to come back to the installation i advise you to follow the steps to install Wine 7.0 correctly, if you have not done a Clean Install and follow tutorial. The problem could come from an obsolete file, which is not up to date or simply installed and which Wine needs as resources. I don't know if you are familiar with sudo commands, but it is not very complicated. Here is a tutorial i found to install Wine 7.0 on Unbutu 22.04 (english) HERE or (french) HERE. I don't know what language you speak.

On closer inspection, the 3D output errors are due to a problem with the graphics driver or directX.

I found someone with the same problem, GW1 + Wine on Linux + output 3D fails, here is what he did:

I fixed it! Apparently since I am running in 64-bit I had to install some lib32 NVIDIA files. Thanks for all the help anyways though

Issue was needing to add the 32bit compatibility libraries on his 64bit system

There must be the equivalent for your intel driver. However, as i don't use Linux, i don't know where to find the installation packages (listing) and you should communicate the exact model of your CPU. Also check that everything is up to date with the latest versions, just to be sure.

Note: a general computer tip, if you want to be helped more simply on (computer) forums, notify your hardware and the exact versions of software you use. This gives valuable indications, when you want to solve a problem of this nature remotely. The must is a system report file or a terminal report.
