Just Cause 2 crashes on startup

[twaee]

I just installed Just Cause 2 and it crashed on startup. I know the app database says this game is garbage on wine, but that was more than 0.5 versions ago.

Just Cause 2 almost works in DirectX 11 mode... I was testing back in March this year - after another Wine user got it working and posted on this forum...

Full disclaimer: this game is still at a very early stage of DirectX 11 progress! Don't expect much to work yet!

See also: Reddit: WINE_GAMING/Just Cause 2 Running in Wine Staging 2.4 ...

You'll need to override Wine's Core GL Profile: see WineHQ: Useful Registry Keys.
Set: MaxVersionGL=0x30002
With:

Code: Select all

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D" /v "MaxVersionGL" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0x30002"

I think I just had to add (it was months ago...):

Code: Select all

# GLSL error in console
winetricks -q d3dcompiler_43

and:

Code: Select all

# Cuda is stubbed to implement Nvidia Physx support - but currently doesn't do anything!
wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\BioShock.exe\DllOverrides" "/v" "nvcuda" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""

I tested using the Nvidia proprietary driver and a Geforce GTX 960M.

Report back if it works or not...
If it doesn't then please also supply:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL'

Also are you testing the Steam version of the game?

Ok well it didn't work. Same error as before. I looked at the link and my nvcuda is already disabled due to another gaming fix. I am pretty sure this is the steam version. Here is the glxinfo:

I seriously doubt you'll get any Windows games running, with hard DX11 requirements, on an Intel GPU + Wine. Such games typically just about work with: Nvidia cards + proprietary drivers or recent AMD cards+Mesa 17.1.x (plus up-to-date kernel, etc.)

If you want to do a serious test you'd need a much more bleeding edge graphics stack. I don't use Intel GPU's - but I'd expect you need a minimum of Mesa 17.1.3 and perhaps a 4.11.x kernel??

... I am pretty sure this is the steam version. ...

That's a bit of a disturbing statement - well certainly it means you've either got "early onset memory loss" or you're using a cracked copy of Just Cause 2!

Ok, I am going to keep Linux, but I will be partially switching to Windows (much as i hate windows) to be able to play games that I can't play on wine.

Also yes I do indeed have the cracked version. All my games are cracked because I am not in a currently good position to buy them. Once I get the resources to get them I will buy them. Until then all my games will remain cracked.

PS: copy-pasta??? lol, I love typos.

EDIT: Also using the cracked version first is a good way to avoid paying 60$ for a game you hate.

Yup that sounds fair enough.

If there was only Origin around - as the main Digital Download platform - I'm sure everyone would still be pirating PC games...
Thankfully Steam sales take the sting out of AAA game purchases these days...

There's steady progress being made on DirectX 10/11 support in Wine... But will it be performant enough - in even a years time??
There is talk of building DirectX compatibility layers on top of the Linux Vulkan stack. Perhaps similar to what Gallium 9 does at present??
Wine Staging already supports Vulkan pass-through - which works quite well e.g. with Doom 2016 - which has a Vulkan renderer.

Personally I'm even contemplating building an AMD Zen-based system - with PCIe graphics pass-through for a guest Windows OS.
This is becoming slightly more mainstream - but will of course be expensive and involve a hell of a lot of troubleshooting!
You'd have to be a bit nuts to attempt this sort of thing though!

Reviving this topic since I just bought JC2 on the Steam Summer Sale and am considering becoming a maintainer for this title.
That said, I haven't gotten it working yet, in one prefix all I get is a blank screen with a Directx error (:14) and the other I get menus but everything is black.

Also, Bob, if you read this, my rig is a Ryzen Raven Ridge 2400G, Mageia 6, Mesa 18.0.2, Kernel 4.17.2.

I'm still having issues with JC3, I spent EIGHT($8!) on JC1, JC2 and JC3 but I can't get past the black screen in one prefix and can't get passed crashing in another.
Bob if you could help me get JC2 going, I might adopt the game as the maintainer.
BTW: I'm running Mageia 6, on a Raven Ridge 2400g, Mesa 18.1.2, 4.17.2.
