GoG version not quite working

I installed the GoG version in CXGames 10.0.0, in a WinXP bottle and it came up with the inital screen and then crashed. Running with a log gave:

001c:err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP60.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\GOG.com\\Syberia\\Game.exe") not found

I fixed this by installing the Visual C++ 6 redistributable into the same bottle from the Crossover menu. The game now starts and sound works but gives only a black screen. I now have the following errors:

000b:fixme:d3d:buffer_PreLoad Too many full buffer conversions, stopping converting

The one I suspect is the problem is the not changing screen BPP from 32 to 16. My screen appears to be claiming it is 24 bit, but I tried setting it to 16 bit and that didn't help. Doesn't make any difference whether it is fullscreen or in a window either, so perhaps the problem is not as straightforward as it seems.

I see reports of this problem with other games, but I don't see a fix...

Weirdly, with exactly the same setup Syberia II works almost perfectly....

Hi,

When you say you get a black-screen, is that your entire display, or just
inside an emulated virtual desktop?

Cheers!

Just in the emulated virtual desktop. Sound is working OK and presumably so is input (if I hit esc it goes from the initial music to the menu music).

seems GoG made some changes to the game as c++6 is not needed by the original, and with that introduced the issue you got with the blackscreen. I suppose setting the bottle to different windows version does not change anything ?

I had the same problem until I tried applying DMCA, after which the game worked flawlessly.

Note: The version of Syberia GOG sells is the one included in the Syberia 1+2 Collectors Edition.

Ah yes, got it working fine. The WineHQ page for Syberia has some information that helps get it going without the black screen: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19734
