The forum

I'm trying to run http://deviliangame.com

I was able to install Glyph (Trion's patcher), download the game, create my character and everything else (with very decent fps). Here's a few screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/WM8Ei

The problem is when I try to play with the character for the first time the game crashes. I know there's a cut scene there so it might be something related to the video playing.

Try installing vcrun 2010 and vcrun 2012

Physx should run fine with the package installed as well.  I've tried installing some games that require Physx and if I didn't have it pre-installed with the PlayOnLinux package, then it would crash.

Also, look in the game folder for a "video" directory, or something related to in-game video's
Sometimes just renaming that folder will skip the video's and cutscenes, but you will be able to play the game.

I've tried every possible combination of dependencies, from A to Z. Nothing.

Closed beta is over anyway.

Thanks.

That is the thing with Wine, sometimes having too many packages (libraries) installed can break things.

Since no one else is testing this game in Wine, you are on your own.  If you have the patience, try starting over again and document what libraries you use.  Try to use the minimum first.  Then add more as you go.
This is how I test games and it requires a lot of trial-n-error.  For the most part, games will run as long as they are direct x 9 compatible.

The main reason games won't run is because of DRM, Clients (Steam, Origin, Uplay, Arc) or Direct X 10/11

I'm using Linux instead of Mac, but there may be a difference with installing/configuring.

Are you using a 32-bit virtual drive?

Did you try renaming a "video" folder in the game directory?

That's what I did, I made a minimal installation, installed something and rolledback to that copy. I listed the dependencies I was able to find out on the post.

Yes, 32-bit virtual drive.

Renaming files doesn't help since the game resets the assets on every startup from that manifest file. But maybe I could do it after it loads. The thing is, I'm not sure it was the cutscene causing that and there isn't any video format that I can see on that list.

But it's ok, Trion's gonna make that game P2W anyway. Haha.

Try renaming the video folder and then changing permssions to "read only"
This way the updater won't change it back

FWIWQ, the Devilian beta server is currently online.

My install crashes before starting, so I'll try adding libraries mentioned above and re-run

I stopped trying, it always stop at:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x0000aa55 at address 0x7bc53c9d (thread 0081), starting debugger...

fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_ActivateKeyboardLayout 0x4090409, 0000: semi-stub!

changing to Windows Vista fixes the original crash but introduces a new one:

Couldn't resolve error at 'ntdll!_NT_TIB *)@$teb)->StackLimit) @@(((ntdll!_NT_TIB *)@$teb)->StackBase)'

it's working thanks to nihil232lihin's patch suggestion

http://pastebin.com/3AaU8nJb

I patched and compiled 1.8-rc2 and so far no fps drops or any problems
