When I start the game I get the error message: Failed to initialize the Graphic Hardware Device.(3)

I am running the game on Linux with a AMD GPU.

Did anyone solve this?

Same problem with my AMD GPU.
The only way I found a fix was by using the Classic Rebirth mod with the Japanese version (don't worry Classic Rebirth put it back in english)
AND
By using a program called DG Voodoo.
All the info are on this page under the part called '' I have visual glitches ".

I hope it helps and I'm crossing my fingers that GOG could update their version with a fix.

I am also using an AMD card with REBirth on Linux, but the graphics seem to be messed up with lines through them and weird shadows

I used the the DG Voodoo application in that link and it fixed those visual glitches.

I had the same issue (Windows 11, RX6700XT). It worked for me after switching from Galaxy to the standalone installation.

quickest way would probably to use the dgvoodoo2 override option in your starter.

Thanks! That fixed it.
But no movie sequences yet (black screen).

I am working fine in windowed mode with dgVoodoo, but has anybody figured out a way to run it in fullscreen?

I get FFMPEG Error: Failed to create surface
I get the same error on all my linux machines (Steam Deck, Laptop with Intel HD3000 iGPU , Desktop with RX 7700XT)

When I boot the Desktop PC into windows and try the game, it starts right up and works with no issues, so I strongly suspect this to be an incompatibility with proton ... tried a few different versions of proton and proton-GE for good measure with the same outcome every time.

Installing the REbirth thing is pretty involved, but some dude on youtube found a simpler solution.

Basically this:

1. install the game via heroic launcher
2. go into the settings for this game (the button with the three sliders)
3. klick on the "advanced" tab and scroll down to "Environment Variables"
4. put "WINEDLLOVERRIDES" = "ddraw=n,b"in the NAME and VALUE boxes
5. press the green plus tab

one catch tho: FMVs will only play audio but no video.

The video files are plain old .avi files using cinepak video (cvid) @ 320x240 and araw audio @ 44.1 KHz, 8 Bit Stereo - maybe it is possible to re-encode them into something that works with proton out of the box ?
