JudasIscariot: Anyways, here's what I have:

Gydion: Thanks. A "proper" entry will include that each time, but yours I will stick in the OP so you can skip that. I doubt we will see many of them. Will also do a "proper" entry for Trails in the Sky SC shortly. Just wanted to test wine-staging with the Xvid patch first.
Minor correction. I just double checked my Wine version and it's 1.8-rc2 not rc4, sorry!

Gydion: Elminage Gothic

SolydK 8
Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit)
Card: NVIDIA G80 [GeForce 8800 GTX]
GLX Renderer: GeForce 8800 GTX/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.96

Gydion: Installer files:

MD5 (setup_elminage_gothic_2.0.0.1.exe) = 652c888d3278a657e3c942fa08bc0ebe
avatar
Gydion: Wine 1.7.55, clean 32-bit prefix, winetricks [d3dx9 quartz devenum wmp9], and run installer normally: wine setup_elminage_gothic_2.0.0.1.exe.
Click through the errors near the end of the install. Game works flawlessly. Don't forget to go to options a raise the volume.

AppDB entry [+++]
Ah I see you found my AppDB entry for Elminage Gothic :P

pablodusk: Good idea! I'm curious about Pax Imperia - Eminent Domain, if Judas™ reads this.
edit: seems I answered this question already :P

rampancy: Has Judas (tm) managed to try the new Turok game in Wine?
Not yet but I will try it soon :)

clarry: Judas, did you figure out a way to run Shadow Watch?
What's wrong with it under Wine?

Emachine9643: How do I update wine?
avatar
vv221: It depends on the distribution you’re using ;)
Most probably it’s already automatically updated with your other packages.
And how it's being used :)

Via your distro's package manager? Git? Compiled from source?

Vnlr: Just wondering, and peeking in quickly;
All these:

ie6 dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 wmp10 xna40 gdiplus quartz

are known as winetricks so to install them in a CLEAN prefix (clean prefix = new .wine folder)

Here's the lazy Judas way of obtaining a CLEAN Wine prefix AND keeping one that works for you:

1. Rename the prefix you wish to keep but not use for the time being ".wine_good_wine_1.8rc2" or something that makes sense to YOU.

2. Open the terminal and just type (without " ") "winecfg" (literally stands for "wine config"). This will create a new .wine folder for you AKA a new CLEAN prefix.

3. Go to this new and CLEAN prefix and open up the terminal and type:

winetricks ie6 dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 wmp10 xna40 gdiplus quartz

4. Wait for a few minutes for winetricks to do its thing and then continue following the steps in that AppDB entry.

One more thing:

That appdb entry for Distant Worlds is kinda old so I'd recommend getting the latest version of Wine before attempting to run the game.

Emachine9643: The package manager. I'm trying to see if "80 Days" play on the 1.8 version. It's just stuck on the first loading screen and can't find any answers online if it's working in wine.
I can't recall off the top of my head if the game uses redistributables but take a look at the installed game's files and see if you can find a folder with redistributables in there. if you see any, uninstall the game, run winetricks for the appropriate redists and reinstall the game to see if it works.

It might be one of those games that will just not work with your distro's Wine and you may need to try Play On Linux, if you don't feel comfortable compiling your own, or compile 1.9.2 and see where that takes you :)
avatar
vv221: Would you prefer that I add it to the posts I make here too?
Or is it enough to have the link to the ./play.it page for further infos?
avatar
Gydion: I think it's kind of nice to have the information on GOG, but I realize it's another thing to be updated. Since the ./play.it page does have it, whatever you feel like.

Gydion: Lazy Gydion way:

$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/sommelier/prefixes/distant-Worlds" winecfg
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/sommelier/prefixes/distant-Worlds" winetricks ie6 dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 wmp10 xna40 gdiplus quartz
avatar
Gydion: Leaves anything & everything in the default .wine untouched.
Way too much typing :P
avatar
JudasIscariot: Way too much typing :P
avatar
Gydion: 0__0 What shell do you use? <Up-Arrow>
Just some renaming of folders in Files and opening a terminal in the prefix I wish to use :P

All this

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/sommelier/prefixes/distant-Worlds

Way too much work for me :P

That way I just have to type:

$winetricks <insert winetricks here>
$wine Darkest.exe

That's the Darkest Dungeon start :P

vv221: Actually, I’m not planning to update the entries I’m posting here. As you might have guessed, keeping my own website up-to-date is already quite a bit of work ;)

But as I’m running my tests with WINE 1.8, that should stay the stable version for a while, they should stay pertinent even one or two years from now.
1.8 or 1.8.1? Apparently they updated the stable release :)

Rixasha: GOG should really obtain the Linux version of Last Door: Collector's Edition, The, but in the meanwhile I thought I'd drop a quick mention I didn't have too much trouble running it on wine.
We'd love to have it but it uses the non-standalone version of Adobe AIR.

You might wanna submit a bug to the Wine folks with the full terminal output as well as any backtraces, if you have any, who knows maybe they can fix it :)

clarry: Men of Valor.

Starting at the tutorial, all the character models and some animals are black (helmet aside). Your gun is black too, once you get it. It will briefly light up and show about right when the muzzle flash goes, at least the mounted machine gun does.

Next up, the first mission, where you start at the camp with the football... all character models are again black, except that they light up whenever they're speaking. The truck under which you're supposed to crawl to get the ball doesn't show up at all. Some scenery overlaps, which hints at a Z-buffer issue similar to what you have in Serious Sam up until you pull up the console and tell it to use a 24-bit depth buffer & switch video mode...

Pretty much unplayable as it is :-(

Oh, and the videos at the very start of the game don't show up, and you can't skip them. So it takes a while to load up and it looks like the game is not starting at all, but you have to wait, then wait for the videos to play, and you'll get to the main menu.

Judas?
Some specs would help :) What version of WIne? OS? Clean prefix? What winetricks have you tried?

clarry: 1.7.55-2 and 1.9.2-1 on Arch, amd64. I don't think I have anything from winetricks enabled right now, but I can try with a clean prefix anyway..
Open the game up in terminal and paste your output here, please :)

If the terminal output is rather long then a pastebin link will be a better idea :)

clarry: I ran the output through uniq -c as one line is repeated way too many times to be interesting.. :-)

This is in a clean prefix (which didn't change any result).

Alright. Let's try "winetricks d3dx9" and see where that gets you :)

Also, try running Men of Valor in Windows XP mode, if you aren't already doing so.

clarry: Still looks the same, both the game and the output from wine.
I see. Let me try it in WINE 1.9.3.
