Divinity original sin in wine

[i30817]

There have been reports of it working with the steam version, but it doesn't here with the gog version. It simply infinite hangs the initial creation of the window (the window appears and the cursor changes, but it's contents are a reflection of the desktop as it appeared when the executable started, forever).

I'm currently using the patched ppa to deal with the mouse problem on Risen, but it appears to make no difference:

Game was patched on gog some times and i have the latest version (what steam users call) 1.51
The game needs winetricks vcrun2008 (missing dependency shown on dependency walker, gog installer tries to install it) and d3dx9_36 (gog installer tries to install directx9) to start without a shader error.
Depency walker also reported that binkw32.dll the game uses also needed MSS32.DLL (Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.), but no matter if i dropped there a dll for it from the net or left it missing the behaviour is the same (except dependency walker noticed it wasn't missing).

Regardless, whatever you do, run normal or patched wine, install d3dx9_36 and vcrun2005 or not, drop dll or not, game always hangs forever at start before the intro video starts playing. In clean prefixes of course, although i tried with the installer one at first.

Minimal (after the winetricks above) error output of a non-debug channels doesn't appear helpful:

the err:wgl:wglFinish wglFinish thing is from the patched wine version, the command stream multithreading patch i think (although i didn't enable it for this test, not that it makes a difference anyway).

Help! If you can run it on steam, would you post the md5sum of your executable? Maybe it's my hardware not being good enough for the game?

Patched versions of Wine are not supported here, and all the versions in that PPA are old. Try the current development release of plain Wine.

[i30817]

Of course i did try the dev version of wine. It was the first thing i tried before i went to winetricks and before i went to the ppa. No change at all (except the wgl errors missing).

my steam version works with installed d3dx9_43 and d3d43_compiler

the problem was caused by bug #36854
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36854
the workaround is simple, just change your keyboard layout to something the game likes, like english.
