STO no longer runs under Wine

Regardless of the directX options I set, the client now crashes under Wine.

It's a pity. I know, STO under Wine on Linux isn't supported. But it always worked. Not any more.


Edit: Problem seems solved when using Wine 1.6 (reportedly everything from 1.9.15 or below is fine.)
Remember, STO is nothing but a cosmetics game, where only the rule of cool matters. The game mechanics are intentionally out of balance, don't try to "optimize" anything, as it would just frustrate you.

    Which engine are you using? I have noticed Engines past 1.9.15 no longer work, but 1.9.15 still does.
    I'm hoping later Engines will fix what broke (I've tested up through 1.9.21)

    Can't find the link, but if you google PlayOn Linux Star Trek Online, guy walks you through how to set it all up. Haven't tried it in the last 6 months, but I was using it just fine until I bought a copy of Win10 in June.

    Same here I play under crossover and last night all was good but today just one big crash :(
    I will try a reinstall with playonlinux and use 1.9.15

    That's good to hear. I was talking Wine Releases above. The Development branch up to 1.9.15 works for me.
    The stable branch is 1.8.5, so I'm not sure what 1.6 you mean, can you clarify?
    I'm talking about these versions as Wine 'Engines' for whatever wrapper your using.

    @thestargaze : looks like the Wine Engine matters, the latest Dev ones have the bug crashing STO.
    Change the Wine Engine to one which works. I know 1.9.15 does and above @sophlogimo confirms 1.6 does.
    We're using this thread to nail down compatible Engines.

    Nine of the engines are working on my playonmac app.. :/

    @thestargaze I think you meant none based on the :/ , sorry to hear that.
    I don't use PlayonMac but I know you can have it use specific versions of Wine, you can't choose 1.9.15?

    I see this in their forums:: If you want to try a new version of wine, simply install the version you want to use from tools - manage wine versions, and select it for use in the virtual drive.

    Well there is only wine 9.10 available in their engine list. What does the lower engine number mean? I seem have found one engine that works now I am on the agents loading screen now instead of the black one. Gone a little further into the game ..

    @thestargaze: the 9 likely means it is using the Development branch for it's engines, if 9.10 works for you - stick with it and have fun.

    I doubt they changed that.

    Funny. For me it doesn't even work on WINDOWS. DX9 here. Suppossedly supported. Doesn't even start at all. ENGAGE and goodbye. No error. -d3d11enable 0 -d3d9 doesn't change anything. Safe Mode, same.

    I'll have to use wine if it works there. THX CRYPTIC for this big piece of unuseful "IMPROVEMENT"

    Didn't Linux just do a quick fix to close an major security issue with that OS? Could that be at the root of it?

    Working fine here under DX9, though I'm using an older install of WINE 1.7.34
  • bernatkbernatk Member Posts: 1,089 Bug Hunter

    Not working on wine here. I trid my 1.9.16 and it starts the launcher but happens the same as in windows. Crash at Engage. At least, on wine I can see the loading screen a bit before crashing. Quite and improvement respect windows version. Older versions of wine i tried doesn't even start the launcher, but that's going happening since some time ago, since AoY or before.

    Macs and other non Win10 users must prepare to be assimiladed. Only Win10 will remain. No free of choice. Resistance is futile. SAD

    Please, could you say it appart from running it with wine 1.6, are you using DX9? I'm going to try that exact version, anyway...

    From what i've read, its not just us WINE users... several windows users have posted the same issue on other threads.
    1.9.13 not working here. Nor 1.9.15, nor is 1.9.6. Not for me at least. A little miffed about this.
  • bernatkbernatk Member Posts: 1,089 Bug Hunter
    Well, it it's any help this is the debug console's last message. It closes down pretty fast lol.

    1.9.10-staging Arch Kernel 4.7.10 (can't imagine the distro would matter much... but perhaps its something with the debian distros)... its running for me. Perhaps try a staging build if your not running one now and play with the settings for GLSL support... and possibly the different offs screen rendering modes. Also make sure you set the amount of video memory you have instead of leaving it to auto.

    I have been running it the last couple days in a VM... but I have a second video card to pass through to the VM along with my second monitor. Not ideal... but it saves me having to run a stupid dual boot for one game.
