The Last Remnant

Doesnt run here as well =/

When i try to install the game with playonmac there is an error that tells me that something did go wrong with the installation. If im try to start the program afterwards, an error appears:

Running Wine-1.3.23 (Working directory:/ ...) wine: cannot find "

What am i doing wrong?

All the best,

Ashgur

 

OSX version: 10.9 (Mavericks)

PlayOnMac version: 4.2.4

Your graph card 650M (Macbook pro retina 15'' 2012)

The Last Remnant is one of the supported games.
Despite this, the game is not installed properly.
I did a lot of tests before posting here, also with other wine, but I could not in any way to make the game work.
There are many problems, the first problem is the version of wine used for installation in playonmac. It does not support the ivy bridge processors and error during installation. Trying to change the version of wine with a subsequent (1.7.23) during the installation no longer gives this error.
But choosing the version from steam error saying that can not connect to the internet.
I then tried to use a version without the need for steam, but once you have finished the installation by starting the game:
appears splashscreen
splashscreen disappears
a gray window appears. and hangs around.

I tried as I have said many other ports. One of them was able to start the game for the first two initials credits then got stuck in a black screen.

I think the problem is that all ports facts have been made several years ago.

I also tried to follow the guidance:

 

1) Type regedit in terminal
* 2) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D (if Direct3D does not exist create it)
* 3) Add following String values
o Multisampling = Enabled
o OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo (does not work with others atm)
o RenderTargetLockMode = readtex (or textex, readtex is recommended)
o UseGLSL = enabled

o Without readtex(textex) your game will freeze after splash screen.

You also need dotnet20 and vcrun2005. They can be installed trough Winetricks. If you get problems with MSVCRxx.dll files, dont add any native MSVCR file to Wine folder. It will broke your WINEPREFIX. To solve this issue add native MSVCPxx.dll file instead.

* 4) Wine wont handle Last Remnant resolution correctly so you should emulate desktop. If you set display settings to 640x320 then you can run without emulation.. But kinda akward play that small.
* If you get crash on various resolutions set HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoMemorySize = (eg. 256, 512) at registry.
Important: If you use wine-1.1.30 and newer you have to install openAL 1.10 or later or edit your ~/.alsoftrc and add the following two lines on top:
slots=1
sends=1
Otherwise The last Remnant will get stuck on the splash screen as show in the bug 20724

 

 

but I just can not understand the last part (OpenAL and / or alsoftrc). I do not know if you can solve with that method in case you wonder if you can illustrate in detail in mac (I also tried without success to install OpenAL).

Since it is not in evidence and is among the supported games I hope you can solve the problem. If you can not I ask you to remove it from the games supported (otherwise someone might buy it without knowing).

I thank you because all the other games that I've installed so far (the witcher and hitman from gog 1-2) worked perfectly. You have also helped me to have no more crashes with the witcher (with version wineskin officer crashed constantly and it was slow).

Unfortunately, I imagine that porting from steam is much more difficult than to get them from gog (in fact, even other games that are not on playonmac, taken from gog were easy to install on mac). This is the first time I take a game from steam, from now on, given the problems playing mac, I will avoid.

I hope that, if you can not do anything, my message is helpful.
