So here’s the situation, 2 old games that I really love just don’t work on Lutris or Wine no matter what I try. Those Games being Ford Racing 2 and Worms World Party Remastered.
So, if I try to run Ford Racing 2 on Wine alone, all I get is a black screen. On Lutris it will load the 3 intro screens, but then quit and show an error saying “getkey.dll: Failed to connect pins (asf_reader → dmo_wrapper)” where the intro video should normally play. Just like all errors, this is total gibberish to me. I even tried an alternative exe from a fix pack I found but still to no avail. As this happens the moment the intro video should play I’m guessing it’s related to that. I tried installing the all codecs and windows media player 9 as an AI suggested but that didn’t fix anything. I also installed the WM-Source-Filter-Installer-v1.8 to see if that would remedy the problem but still no.
On Worms Word Party Remastered, the game runs okay, except there is a huge black square in the corner of the screen that i cannot get rid of unless I close the game. It shows up on top of everything including my desktop.
I’m at a loss here. Any help in getting either of theese games working would be greatly appreciated.
