geneis crashes under wine1.3 in ubuntu but works with wine1.2

I can confirm this is true for me too.

Instant crash after the loading screen in 1.3, runs fine in 1.2 (on same computer, using same PWI installation and two different wine installs)

Disabling the winegstreamer.dll fixed my problem. Noticed gstreamer flipping out in my terminal. I run a terminal to simplify closing it if it crashes.

I run 1.3.12 on Fedora.

hope it helps.

I installed wine 1.3.14 and installed PWI then updated it. Next I used winetricks to install the direct x 9 apps suggested in the first post. PWI loads initially then freezes, I read back to here and then disabled winegstreamer under libraries in wine config. My game still freezes after the initial load completes, I do not get to the login page. I m running ubuntu 10.04 if that helps. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get PWI running?

- I tried disabling pixel shader support and Audio in wine config, managed to move my cursor around before getting this error after the initial game load.

I uninstalled wine 1.3.14 and installed 1.2.2 but still crash at the same point. Is there a way to disable to teaser? I'd rather play then freeze up on a little cinematic......

Edit - managed to login and play by disabling winegstreamer.dll and pixelshader support as well as editing my wine registry by adding the direct3d code, but now my character models are messed up and the game is laggy. I tried switching from opengl to directdraw in the direct 3d registry but saw no difference. I feel like all I need to do is tweak something to get it to run smoothly again (as it did on winxp on the same comp) but am obviously new to linux. Any suggestions?

I have this problem.......

Laraethan - Harshlands

Ahhh no such luck - Wine 1.3.14 and 1.2 - get to loading screen, then locks or crashes. A couple times, I get a second of the intro movie, but then locked up.
Once I got music... but still locked a sec into the intro.

I've disabled gstreamer, pixel shaders. No idea how to add direct3d code but I can see it's not useful anyway going by what madjp said.

Anyone got it working yet?

Hi I can confirm that the game works with 1.2.0 as opposed to 1.3.x. I've also filed a bug report over at:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26289

It would be good if others would go to the bug report and confirm that their is a problem.

I hope the following tip will be helpful to all you fellow Linux users. Quoting from my bug report.

I can only run the game one time per boot from the patcher. If I log off of the game for some reason and run the game from the patcher again, the game freezes while trying to load. If, on the otherhand I run the game client, elementclient.exe while making ~/.wine/drive_c/Perfect World Entertainment/Perfect World International/element/ the current working folder the game runs just fine. However the "loading" screen when the client is first run and when "entering" the game is still is clipping under KDE.

Also, if I have to log off the game, I have to run the patcher again, wait for the game to freeze, Kill the game and then run the main game client before I can

Never tried it, don't have a PS3 for a start!

But seems to be plenty of websites telling you how to go about installing it.

Believe it only works with PS3 that have the Other OS option but is unavailable on later models.

Sounds interesting if you go for it!

Linux runs SLOW on the PS3, and it does not have really good ways for handling memory like PCs and Macs do.

Think of the PS3 being an exotic sports car on a go-kart track. Its crappy memory issues, and small amount of memory with how it handles threads, does not make it ideal for running 3d games that were made for PC.

In the development community (AAA game titles), it is called the "Praystation" for a reason b:thanks

addon for post 72
try this trick at Arch Linux- (no luck.Sayd something unreadable about directX( .If need,i can add screen

Teknull - Harshlands

so my "nude" tideborn problem still exists, i have wine 1.2.2...

the patch update finally finished, i dont seem to have too much of a problem with the seeker class, the only problem I've noticed so far is theres no sound.

iaos83

Hi i've been trying the installation the way that is said on this thread (both install) and finally had some progress with the second, but when i start the game it just shoes broken images, i have the feeling that it has to do with the fact that i have ATI Radeon graphics and it is said that ATI private drivers for ubuntu 10.10 are crappy, has anyone found a work arround or a way to get the game going?

Teknull - Harshlands

So, I was overlooking my reg settings I noticed I had one missing, when I was on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9923
I added the missing Reg String and now everything seems to be fine,

this is what my reg looks like..


my Tideborn is no longer "naked" xD my seeker seems to be fine too, the background is good as well.

thanks for everyones help! ^_^

later

for the record: adding those registry keys like Teknull mentioned in the previous post seems like a really gearheaded thing to do, and may seem counterintuitive for somebody who thinks of wine as a Linux device driver (actually, maybe that's my mistake...) but it works.

at least, it works PROVIDED THAT you have the most recent graphics card drivers available. (i downloaded the version 11.2 ATI drivers, what came with my Ubuntu 10.4 distro wasn't new enough.) just adding the registry keys alone made things worse for me; updating the drivers then adding those keys improved the game's rendering quality considerably. i now get many fewer glitches in-game.

i'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and wine 1.2.x from the winehq package repository on an ATI 5570 graphics card. game runs fine, just some sound glitches i work around by muting the sound.

i get a sound error too.. it starts up with the game, then eventually at some point it turns off, but i dont mind I just end up opening my playlist and listen to that xD

I just started playing perfectworld a couple of weeks ago, for me to install and play with out any issues i did these steps

1 download game
2 install game "wine perfectworldinstaller.exe" (i had to "export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8" befor i could get the installer to work)
3 in winecfg under graphics check emulate virtual desktop and set resolution to the exact same res as your monitor (i set mine to 1920 x 1080). i did this cause i have multible screens and every time my mouse left one screen the game would **** up ... this seemed to fix that
4 play game

this was from a fresh install of wine no directx 9 needed


Archlinux 2.6.37-pae
wine-1.3.15
Nvidia 260.19.44
Sound OSS4
CPU AMD X4 @3.8ghz
RAM 4gigs ddr 3 dominator
GPU GTX480

Talon....

Thank you.... Thank you... Thank you..... I can confirm that this actually works. I've yet to try with full screen.

And the nice thing is no silly animation screen also.

So the trick is to start a new prefix. Reinstall the game. And DO NOT install directx9 from winetricks. And all should work well.

Once again thanks for sharing your experience.

elieli

OK... Full Screen works just fine

Just make sure that in the Wine Configuration tool under Graphics is that you have:

Allow DirectX apps.... checked

and both;

Allow the window manger off

elieli

Two other things to note..

1) You probably still need to install core fonts with winetricks to make the text in the game look the way they're supposed to and

2) The traditional wine registry setting for the game seem to improve the image quality of the game

Have fun all

to make perfect world work again.

Thanks for that. I spent some hours to find what is the problem

Indeed, looks like PW forgot to package [1] MSVCP60.dll:

err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP60.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\pelit\\pwi\\element\\FTDriver.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library FTDriver.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\pelit\\pwi\\element\\elementclient.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\pelit\\pwi\\element\\elementclient.exe" failed, status c0000135

and maybe others. Now if a Windows user would send a ticket about that...
