heroes of might & magic book 1
I can't start the game from the title screen - it tells you to press ESC (works) and then to press ENTER (which doesn't work). Possible incorrect dosbox conf from heroic? i don't have much dosbox experience so all help appreciated!

Post a new log

removed all environment variables (there was a mangohud one remaining after i had previously disabled mangohud for the game), then to remove dxvk i just deleted the prefix, disabled auto-install of dxvk and ran the game to rebuild the prefix. this log is from subsequent run, original issue remains present

I can run again with dxvk/vk3d enabled if you think this would be useful?
united-yellow•17mo ago
You can't run the game without dxvk
Turn it on
Vkd3d as well
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
same issue with both re-enabled
united-yellow•17mo ago
It's still using wined3d
Lemme check if it's a dx8 game or smth
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
ah okay, thanks!
its pretty old so might not even be that
united-yellow•17mo ago
It supposed to run it with dosbox apparently
And it uses dx7
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
yea i thought so, is it not doing so?
ahh okay
united-yellow•17mo ago
Try running it with dosbox
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
sure
not got much dosbox experience so may be a lil bit
seems to have the same problem, how do i ensure its using the dosbox config?
and what should permissions be for the exe/config?
the game does come bundled with dosbox, should i use that instead somehow?
united-yellow•17mo ago
yeah
make wine run an alternative exe
which would be dosbox here
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
same result
united-yellow•17mo ago
have you updated your wine-ge btw
still using wined3d for some reason
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
huh, ill try using a specific version rather than wine-ge-latest
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
same issue - is wined3d still running here (and how do i check that)?
united-yellow•17mo ago
012c:err:d3d:wined3d_context_gl_check_fbo_status FBO 0 is incomplete, driver bug?
says wined3d
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
okay, the wineHQ ratings are all at "garbage", gonna try in the windows vm at some point - for now skipping to heroes of might and magic 3 as that's the first one not rated garbage in wineHQ
thanks for your help though!

For what it's worth you can use fheroes2 to play the second game.
plain-purpleOP•17mo ago
oh cool! ill be sure to give it a try 🙂

You may also be able to get the first game running by replacing GOG's packaged DOSBox with DOSBox Staging or DOSBox-X.
Oh, you were trying to play Might & Magic Book I: Secrets of the Inner Sanctum? You post title is a bit muddled. You can use ScummVM for that.
