The forum

Hello,

 

I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64bit)on the following hardware.

 

Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8

GeForce GTX 760/PCIe/SSE2

16GB Ram

 

I have the latest drivers from NVIDIA loaded 331.67

 

I have installed World Of Tanks VIA PlayOnLinux. However I am not able to the launch the game since this install and recieve the following error when I try to.

 

"Application has failed to start because directx hardware acceleration is not available or is turned off."

 

This was running previously on 14.04 as an upgraded version from Ubuntu 13.10 without issues*. I have just purchased a SSD drive and moved my /root OS to it. Thus the reason for the fresh install.

 

I have tried an exhuastive search to correct this issue but nothing that has worked so far. I've reinstalled a number of times to arrive at the same dead end.

  Anyone else seeing this issue? Anyone have a fix?

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

 

 

*Since the 9.0 patch the game would only stay stable if all on MIN settings

 

 

Probably related to #3814

Try removing the libxcb libs bundled with the packaged Wine used by the script:

[code=console]
$ rm ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/1.7.12/lib/libxcb*
[/code]

Hello petch,

no change...

Can you play any other games?
Have you installed any 32-bit libraries required to play World of Tanks?
Its probably 64-bit compatible, but I don't know offhand.

Can you post the PlayOnLinux debug when launching World of Tanks?

The accelerated display library in the 32bit path is a 64bit binary, so it fails to load.
Your system is not installed correctly.

Don't you get a warning about 32bit OpenGL when PlayOnLinux starts?

Edited by petch

So basically he needs to install 32-bit libraries... correct?

That would mean that, as configured, the system tries 64bit libraries as a fall back for missing 32bit ones? That sound dubious, but who knows...

I just installed Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit, nvidia-driver is 331.38, playonlinux from muon and WOT with the pol-script. I don't have the same Problem as TS.

Yeah no errors when opening PlayOnLinux. Fails once you hit play from the WOT Launcher.



So where do I look if the correct libraries are installed.

Thanks der Papest.


I changed to the Kubuntu interface. Under KDE Settings I was able to change the driver to 331.38




All seems to be working now. WOOT!!



I appreaciate all the help guys. The Linux community rules!! Always so helpful.

Cheers

I have pretty similar problem:

"Application has failed to start because directx hardware acceleration is not available or is turned off."

Unfortunately described solution doesn't work for me.

Any ideas what might be wrong this time?

I've recently had a similar problem after updating 13.10 to 14.04, where WoT was working fine, after the update , Laucher comes up, hit play, then a dialog "dirextx is disabled"

Running WorldofTanks.exe (i.e. skipping the launcher) directly from command line gave this error

"undefined symbol: xcb_send_fd err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled."

Which as suggested by the second reply in this thread is related to bug #3814 which google leads you straight to.

However, rather than deleting all xcb related libs as above, I simply renamed the libxcb.so* files.
(there were three on my system ?.so , ?.so.1 and ?.so.1.1.0 now named unused_libxcb.so )

This appears to have resolved my issue.

YMMV

(Side note, although I could feed WorldofTanks.exe to playonlinx as a command line option, and it first gave me the above error, it still fails to launch the game, getting stuck searching the filesystem for WOTLauncher.exe, so I had to go via WOTLauncher to confirm everything was working, now all I have to do is get jnr to stop watching youtube to solve the lag problem)
