Hope this is the right place to submit this. I'v been hacing away at Dadu042's Age of Conan Installer to enable dxvk and hopfully working DX10. This will be my first time so be kind :)

Theres a few things I want to take before going to the script. For simplyfing testing i'm calling dxvk and directx dll's directly in the script  as i for testing i'v been trough dll's and dxvk versions not available yet. These would need to bve made available befor finializing and publishing. I'v got dx9 working with DXVK using wine 8.1-staging (64bit prefix)(newest wine version i could find available besides system wine. and DXVK 2.4.1 (DXVK2.5 and 2.5.1 is broken as detailed in script). Pleas help me testing and maybe we can get DX10 working also.

here is my script so far. going to clean up further as I test and your comments.

Bugs

-DX10 broken

-need to set graphics & enable audio before restarting launcher for values to be enabled. on my system 1920x1080 resolution shows at first launch. but dxvk sets it to 1600x1200 if launch game without restarting launcher to verify resolutin first. also audio is not eneabled at first run of launcher.

 

EDIT: Turns out DX10 sadly is not somthing i can make work. but heres a working updated version that for me makes DXVK run nicly DirectX 9 of AOC removing missing sky textures. Hope  the POL_Install_DXVK_2_4_1 gets aproved so Script can be cleaned up, and hopefully aproved as it POL is the best alternative for getting Age of Conan running on linux.

# How to adapt this part of the script for a newer version:
# #1 in a text editor, do search for '2.3' (example) replace it to '2.6' (example).
# #2 download the file manually, then make its checksum (linux: 'md5sum filename'), replace it at the end of 'POL_Download_Resource'.
