Add d3dx9_43.

Now the game looks fine.

Has there been any progress on getting multiplayer/GOG Galaxy functionality to work under WINE? I've tried everything I can think of (including manual extraction of the data files, as mentioned earlier) and nothing works.

Single-player runs fine though. I've tried to install the AvP Classic Redux mod as well, but it doesn't seem to work as installing it makes the game crash on launch.

*SUMMARY:

Using setup_avp_classic_2.0.0.25.exe

I can't seem to get the GOG Client to update, saying it fails to update.

The game itself is updated via the client.

Online doesn't seem to work.

*DETAILS:

I've managed to get the GOG Client to work on wine-1.7.21 with the following command (AvP_Classic.exe needs to be in C:\GOG Games\AvP Classic):

wine GalaxyClient.exe /gameId=1207665883 /command=launch "/path=C:\GOG Games\AvP Classic"

*On a clean wine prefix, using winetricks, I installed everything listed with the following commands EXCEPT directmusic (causes terrible sound artifacts):

winetricks dlls list | grep direct
winetricks dlls list | grep d3

But I think the following is the key:
winetricks --force d3dcompiler_43

*If you're using Linux, keep the following up in the upper-left corner of your screen ready to run to fix the resolution:
xrandr -s 0

*You can also use the following to prevent the resolution change:

wine explorer /desktop=AvP,1920x1080 GalaxyClient.exe /gameId=1207665883 /command=launch "/path=C:\GOG Games\AvP Classic"
