Disable dwrite.dll in winecfg if you are using plain (non-Staging) Wine.
Wine-Staging already contains a series of patches that possibly help with the missing font problem.

The AppDB page of the game is outdated, the game needs only xact d3dx9_42 and d3dcompiler_42 in recent Wine (tested in 4.0-rc4). Obviously it is native d3dcompiler_42 what is missing. Unfortunately for you, winetricks doesn't recognize the 'd3dcompiler_42' verb. The easiest method would be to search...

Go to the in-game Option -> Video menu and change 'Fidelity' level to 'Low' ('Medium' may also work).
I think the problem is covered by this bug report.

You need to apply this patch to compile against newer libpcap.

Guess what: I was able to find a DLL I needed from https://www.dll-files.com/d3dx9_32.dll.html. I was surprised to find that there was already a d3dx9_32.dll in my c:\windows\system32. Doing a simple back up, diff confirmed that the files weren't the same. Substituting the new one for the old was t...

@PenguinLust: from my experience the game needs native d3dx9_31 and d3dx9_32 to display those icons properly. You can install them with winetricks. env WINEPREFIX="/home/pl/wine32" winetricks d3dx9_31 d3dx9_32 That seemed to partially work. _31 installed ok, but the other one gave me: Unk...

I'm also experiencing this build failure on Fedora 25 when trying to compile older (pre-1.9.14) Wine.
The patch that resolved the issue:

Need to run autoreconf after applying the patch.

Thank You VERY MUCH! It works now. I can play it. I have only one problem now. I can't lanuch steam from desktop. It's soething wrong with wineprefix, i think. Could you also help me with that? I can run Giania Sisters from desktop launcher with this env WINEPREFIX="/home/firekage/.wine" ...

firekage, I suspect you have the issue because the game hangs when trying to play the intro video. fixme:wmvcore:WMReader_Open (0x3e14b720)->(L"data_common\\BFG Logo 1080p.wmv" 0x4ec37240 (nil)) Install WMP10 via winetricks: winetricks wmp10 It's not really a regression because the intro v...

Hello Inluvwithlinux,

You didn't specify what Wine version you're using. If not 1.7.24 or 1.7.25 please upgrade.
Downloading PWI in Wine 1.6.x fails here as well, but it works in 1.7.24/.25

This means you compiled Wine without png support. You need to install libpng-devel package with your package manager then recompile Wine. When you run ./configure in the build tree you will be informed if certain dependencies are missing. For example: OpenCL development files not found, OpenCL won't...

Download the attachment from the bug report that contains the patch: http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=46317 Apply the patch to the Wine source code then compile Wine as described here: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-719d19ccbd20c36445e065d0f46f80c2a301ce52 Now you have a patched Wine that h...

The crash is due to the missing vertex blending implementetaion in Wine.
The latest patch from bug #6955 can be applied on recent 1.7.23 and that should fix the crash in the game.

Terminal output? Wine version? Unless it's an issue with your Win64 setup (which I'm not familiar with), try to re-install Xaudio2 libraries: winetricks --force xact_jun2010 But I've installed the latest dx 9 and10 ... If you mean the whole DX9 and 10 redistributable packages, I'm not sure they're r...

Your Wine version is very old and is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest development version (1.7.23 as of writing). If you want to use a patched Wine you have to compile it from source. I can't give you step by step instructions on how to compile Wine on Ubuntu because I'm on a differ...

I think the problem you see is actually bug 11436
There's a hackish patch in that bug report that fixes the unreadable font issue for me in Blender 2.7.1

What Wine version? The app starts fine here in Wine 1.7.23, but you have to wait for ~15-20 seconds until the program is loaded. 1. create a new (and clean) 32-bit wineprefix: 'WINEARCH=win32 winecfg' 2. install e-Sword: 'wine setup1030.exe'. mfc42 is already installed in /system32 3. cd to the dire...

should help.

Install native dxdiagn.dll via winetricks: Besides, only native d3dx9_36.dll is needed to start the game here on Linux/Wine 1.7.23

See bug 34686

Thanks!

AFAIK the only way to get rid of the crash is to compile Wine without OSMesa support.
