Grimrock 2 working with WINE

[Washac]

Did some more testing. Could reproduce the crashes on saving most reliably when setting down a container with items in it on the ground before hitting quicksave.
Hitting quicksave multiple times in a row without changing anything in the world on the other hand did not seem to cause crashes.

Anyone an idea how to get better debug output on this? The grimrock.log is sort of useless...
Can anyone reproduce this with the GOG version? Or not reproduce with steam?

GoG version does not load into a WIne wrapper, well on a Mac anyway

Have no problems with x64 system and x64 wine, setted up steam via winetricks and installed game, that's all.

Only trick i did - added libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 to already installed libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 with apt-get utility, to see textures.

Linux Mint 17

I used this distro with preinstalled Wineprefix and wine

game works "out of box" , just install nvidia-340 driver and run.

I'm an unlucky one as I simply can't get it working on wine 32 and 64 bit install. I've also tried PlayOnLinux.

The game simply dies straight after character confirmation and the loading screen.

I use ArchLinux with latest drivers for Nvidia and latest Mesa. Other games prove the OpenGL is working on my system.

Had no crashes in one wineprefix with the GOG version pre patch.

Now, in another wine prefix / steam version after patch I get frequent crashes when saving the game. Couldn't copy the error message, but it said something like this "vbrun: the program exited in an unusual manner" (nothing that was of any use to me). All progress since last save is lost.

Do the crashes only happen with the steam version? Or is it something that's installed in the steam prefix?

I have the same problem. Every now and then the game crashes when I try to save. Still searching for a solution.

I got it finally working without crashes when saving.

After filing a bug and getting really long and good answer I tried a new install. You can find the bug at https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37481

I ran the following commands:

WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/grimrock" WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'

WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/grimrock" winetricks -q xact

WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/grimrock" winetricks -q --force xact_jun2010

WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/grimrock" winetricks -q d3dcompiler_43

WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/grimrock" wine Downloads/log2/install.exe

Can the title of the OPs original post please be changed to say - Grimrock 2 Working with Wine on Linux ?

Like Samcube I have I have a 27" iMac with Geforce GT 755M and I also got it to work. I had already installed Xcode.app and X11.app (Quartz), but I don't know if they matter. I used Wineskin Winery to create a blank wrapper with Engine 1.7.31 and used the following dll tricks: directmusic, d3dcompiler_43, xact and xact_jun2010. I added settings trick sound = coreaudio and in wine configuration I changed dsound library setting from native(windows) to builtin (wine).

I'm not sure if all the dll tricks are required especially directmusic. Without the builtin sound option, the music was very distorted, stuttering and the sound fx had an echo. As for resolutions 2048 x 1280 wine & 2560 x 1417 game borderless crashes the game, but both 2048 x 1280 works (frame rate 120)

I was unfamiliar to patch the game inside Wine, so I copied a double patched version from my Macbook bootcamp (doesn't run due missing x3daudio1_7.dll) inside the wrapper. Afterwards the game didn't even start up. The prepatch game crashed a lot especially (quick) saving and changing levels. (I gave up on running Windows properly on my Macbook)

I tried the Compatibility Test (would be a nice screensaver) with the same Wineskin wrapper settings, but it didn't crash at all with full screen of 2560x1440. Only when I installed the tricks it had "wine regsv31 xaudio returned 1 : aborting" message

I've installed LoG2 2.2.4 on this system:
- openSUSE 13.2 (64 bit)
- Wine 1.7.28
- graphics card: GTX 550 Ti
- graphics driver: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverRe ... 1761/en-us

And the game works perfectly w/o any winetricks or other changes.
(it's a little slower than on Windows XP/7, but not much)

What doesn't work is the editor:
The editor flickers between pure black and the actual editor graphics.
