Hi All,

I'm new to POL and would like to play Dead Space on it.  I bought the game 3 years ago but believe it or not, never got around to playing it!!!

I installed it last night using the pre-configured list in POL.  Everything installed correctly but unfortunately no joy.

I followed the steps on this website...
but crashes when running.

If anyone can help I would be really grateful!  Thanks in advance!

VARIABLES:
-----------
POL: 4.2.1
WINE: that which is installed by the pre-config in POL

-Computer-
Processor : 8x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory : 16418MB
Operating System : Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

-Display-
GPU : Radeon Hd 5870
Resolution : 1920x1080 pixels
OpenGL Renderer : ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
FGLRX Version : 2:12.104-0ubuntu0.0.1
X11 Vendor : The X.Org Foundation

-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter : HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
Audio Adapter : HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic

-OS Variables-
Ubuntu and root filesystem is installed on a USB stick.  
10TB RAID is used for multimedia files and large application-installation paths (eg. Linux Steam games). 
Unfortunately POL-DeadSpace during installation comes up with a pop-up advising to leave install target path on the default locations which ends up on the USB stick, which is fine as there is sufficient space there.  Ideally I would like to install and run the game in the RAID5 path.

-Dead Space Error on Run-
A pop-up with...

"The program Dead Space.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience. etc. etc"

A log file is produced and I get another pop-up with a sad-smilyface stating...

"Error in main
Dead Space crashed."

The log file has this...

Ah, another one of my guides... Cool

couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so

You are using a 64-bit Ubuntu correct?
Did you install the 32-bit libraries in Ubuntu?

Also, its a good idea to use the AMD proprietary drivers instead of fglrx open source drivers.... they just don't have the performance in 3D games.

will 32-bit libraries run on Ubuntu 64bit?
If so just "i386-linux-gnu"? Or are there others?
Are these libraries from Synaptic or something for POL which I need to find somewhere from the POL website?

DJ has more experience with multi-architecture, but yes, 32-bit will run and is necessary for Wine and games.
PlayOnLinux needs them too because almost all games are 32-bit and won't run without them.

Try this in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

Here is an explanation of multiarch: MultiArch

I installed the above package then attempted to run the game but it crashed again.

I am uninstalling the game now and will reinstall it again. Perhaps it needs to be installed with the ia32-libs-multiarch package already in the system beforehand.

Will let you know how it goes...

Yes, that is exactly right. If you do a manual installation PlayOnLinux will ask you if you want a 32-bit or 64-bit virtual drive. Always choose 32-bit.
But if you are installing from a script I'm not sure if it asks you that?
Keep us updated

It didn't ask from a script.

After the reinstall, it failed again. I googled around and read somewhere to always use the newest version of wine with POL (can't remember where now as I was falling asleep while waiting for the game to install!). So I downloaded Wine 1.7.1. I tried to run it again, and this time with the newer wine it made it to the first screen then it froze. I couldn't recover and return to desktop so I had to reboot the machine.

Well at least I made it further. I was thinking perhaps one of the issues is that I'm trying to run the whole game off a USB stick since the default path is what was instructed. I'm thinking of reconfiguring wine 1.7.1 to point to my RAID path so it can run off real disks.
Also I may try installing by not using the script so I can force that question of whether to use 32bit or 64 bit.

Oh, I had not idea you were running Dead Space from a USB drive.
I can definitely see problems with that.  So you created a virtual drive on the USB and installed the game there?

Yes, please do a re-installation.... Start with
  1. Wine
  2. PlayOnLinux
Yes you have to install Wine first, then PlayOnLinux... but you won't be using it after that.

Then use the PlayOnLInux Wine manager to install versions of wine for testing.
Feel free to use the Debug tool so you can post errors here and it might tell us whats missing.

Hi Booman, mate I know it is an old thread but just wanted to let you know I finally got it working! :)

I bought and SSD and migrated my system to the new disk. Dead Space installed flawlessly with the newest wine.

Thanks for your help mate.

Now I'm trying to get Far Cry 2 working with the newest POL but so far no good. I'll book that on a separate thread.

Awesome, thanks for posting that it is working now.
How is that SSD running?
My Samsung SSD is super fast!

Did you post the Far Cry 2 problems?
I happen to have a guide for Far Cry 2
