Darksiders II (Steam) for Wine 1.5.11 (patched)...it works!

Post by rboxeur »

Hi,

Since submitting a test for a game or a application must be done for a unmodified version of wine, I open this topic hoping it could be useful for NVIDIA users.

NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING NOTES APPLY FOR DARKSIDERS II PATCH #3

YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR PLAYABLE SETTINGS
==========================
Go to

http://youtu.be/F_gA7RmA3n8

WINE 1.5.11
============

Download Wine sources for 1.5.11 version

wget -q http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/wine/source/ ... 11.tar.bz2

Uncompress

tar xjf wine-1.5.11.tar.bz2

PATCHES FOR WINE
================

You weed to download/apply the following patches

- RawInput Patch so the game can start else the game can't start up.

- Crysis 2 Double Buffer Patch: Crysis Double Buffer patch. This is the magical patch so I could bypass the error for CODEREVIEW

cd wine-1.5.11
wget http://www.davidgis.fr/download/wine/patches/raw3.patch
wget http://www.davidgis.fr/download/wine/pa ... ffer.patch
patch -p1 < raw.patch
patch -p1 < double_buffer.patch
./tools/make_requests

Build and install as usual

./configure --prefix=/opt/wine/apps/DarkSiders_2
make
make install

winecfg

Hi,

you can still create an appdb entry, even if you need/prefer patched wine. If the game doesn't run with unpatched wine, rate the game as garbage, then add your description of how to patch wine in a comment below.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion but I don't feel like creating an appdb entry.

My original understanding was that "creating an appdb entry was a bit more usefull for any wine version (patched or unpatched"

But since I've been informed of system rating for unpatched wine version....I don't really approve this system. This is my fault! Got to read Wine documentation :)

No troll here for Wine/AppDB system...I just wanted to share my own feeling.

But thanks for your suggestion.

The idea behind appdb is that average users should be able to look up how well a certain app or game will work with unpatched wine. Not every user will be able or willing to patch wine. On the other hand a lot of appdb entries have the typical "How to make it work" sections, ranging from simple winetricks commands to compiling/patching wine.

If you still dislike that approach, please consider contributing to playonlinux, they do exactly what you want, they try to build some kind of 'database' containing a lot of app/game-specific hacks.
