If you read my Assassin's Creed 2 thread, then you would see that it actually works with the Ubi Game Launcher (Uplay).  Pain in the rear, but it runs!
So now I'm trying to play Brotherhood and am having even more problems.

For one, Uplay installs even when you launch Brotherhood from Steam!!??
Why does it need Uplay when Steam handles the DRM?  Thats insane!
Its like double-DRM!!!

Anyways, I have tried to install several different ways and it always crashes at the Brotherhood initial launch.
It seems there is still a problem with cryp32 and DirectX

I even installed it with the PlayOnLinux script and it still didn't work.

I installed Uplay with the instructions from by AC2 guide and it still runs fine.
So I have Uplay running and Steam running, but the game still crashes when it tries to install DriectX and some script.

Libraries installed:
  • POL_Install_corefonts
  • POL_Install_d3dx9
  • POL_Install_d3dx10
  • POL_Install_gdiplus
  • POL_Install_msxml3

  • POL_Install_tahoma
  • POL_Install_ubigamelauncher
  • POL_Install_vcrun2008
  • POL_Install_vcrun2010

Wow, guess no one is having problems with Brotherhood.
Cause you are playing it in Windows huh?

I uninstalled it, but await some more solutions...
I got AC2 to run but it was a pain.
So hopefully there are some Wine fixed that can get past this security problem.
I have a feeling the game runs fine cause its the same engine.

I tried Assassin's Creed Brotherhood again with the PlayOnLinux script and Steam won't launch (of course) due to the 1.5.3 not supporting the new version of Steam.
I have requested a patch for newer versions of wine or stable 1.6.2 with steam fix and the Ubisoft_gcrypt patch.

I'll test again if they patch it up for me.

You can always patch it yourself real quick in a chroot environment. That is what I do if I need to test. You simply apply the patch, make sure you have the dependencies for Wine to build it correctly. So:

This is what I can think of for Debian-based systems, but you can do the same with your systems equiv.

Create the chroot, 32-bit, and get into it

and I think (sudo apt-get --help will tell you if I am wrong. haha)

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Make a new directory somewhere (~/Tmp/build or something like that)

download the source for whatever version of wine you want to work with.

download the patch you want to build with

make sure they are in the same directory (obviously extract the wine source)

Once in the directory


patch -p1 < patch_name.diff

./configure

make depend

make

NOTE: DO NOT 'make install'

We do not need to, because now in that directory, you will have the patched version in the directory you are in. You will see bin/, lib/, and share/ (I think).

You then copy those folders to a new directory ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/name-of-wine-version-with-patch/

You will need to create the sub-directory of linux-x86 manually with mkdir ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/foo-dir

Then, copy bin, lib, and share (if there is local, I guess copy it too. Whatever the other folders have in linux-x86, that is what you will need) to that directory.

Next time you start wine, it will show up in your wine list.

It seems like a lot, but its not too shabby. The longest part is waiting for it to compile, but at least if you test on your system, when we get it into the build system, we will have a better chance at a successful build. :)

Sorry for being so verbose. Fodder for the search feature. haha

Thanks for the tip DJ. I may try this myself. Lately I've been requesting PlayOnLinux dev's to release patched versions of Wine and they have been great at providing them.
In a way its probably better if they do it because they can test it as they probably do with all the Wine versions.
I have attempted patching Wine in the past and had difficulty with the dependencies.
But I have no problem trying again.

Yeah. For sure, just do it the way I posted, and you shouldnt have any issues testing it on your own machine. There is little our server does extra besides automation, in terms of the wine builds. It took me a while to figure it out on my own, and it totally works. I actually made myself test ANY patch like this ever since I had to request 5 different Wine builds for Reason 5 before I got it right.

Your package manager (especially if using apt-get) will have an option or flag to download any needed build dependencies that are needed for a given app. Im almost positive its 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine'. Since you are building a 32-bit version, I find it FAR easier to do in a pure 32-bit env (using chroot). Building a 32-bit version in a multi-arch environment almost never works for me. haha. I will say for sure though, it DOES work.

Hope it helps.
