[wine 3.0]: Later version of WorldOfTanks blitz can't lauch

Post by dummynosrev »

Now, using steam's Proton api, there is a pop-up with a message saying:

Code: Select all

Rendering error 0x00000000:
FailedToCreateDevice.
Program will terminate.
And when I attempt to launch the game with wine, the following error can be seen:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/{user name}/.wineprefixes/alpha wine ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/World\ of\ Tanks\ Blitz/wotblitz.exe

I URL uploaded exe executable on VirusTotal.com to get info on what dlls does it uses, then tried to install the notable ones with winetricks to no avail.

I mean Iknow it's not anything important (beside I currently dual-boot with a Windows machine so :p) but parts of me still believe that it was just me not able to find /install the correct components and want to get the game working.

@dummynosrev

Wine 3.0 is not supported any more. Supported versions of Wine (currently) are:
Wine 4.0.1 (stable), 4.9 (development) and 4.9 (staging).

See: WineHQ Download (for you unspecified Operating System...)

That's not the correct way to start applications, with Wine... See: Wine User's Guide: 3 Using Wine.
It should be something like:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/${USER}/.wineprefixes/alpha" wine start /unix ~/".steam/steam/steamapps/common/World of Tanks Blitz/wotblitz.exe"
(WINEARCH is fixed - once a WINEPREFIX has been initially created.)

That might still cause issues - as you appear to be using the Steam version of World of Tanks.
This may require you to launch the game, using the Steam client.
See: WineHQ AppDB: Steam (Steam API section).

Also, what graphics card / driver do you have, please post the output from:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | egrep '^[[:alpha:]]'
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply,

I'm running elementary OS Juno (Built on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS), and yes, this is the Steam version of the game but I doubt that Steam client is the problem. I copied the entire game folder to my Windows partition as a lazy work around this, and it seems to worked OK under Win 10 (which has no Steam installed) (and also the earlier version of the game can be run both with Wine and Proton).

Code: Select all

$ glxinfo | egrep '^[[:alpha:]]'

Yup, fair enough. It is a MMO anyway (so I wouldn't expect the game to use Steam DRM).

You're probably going to struggle to get a lot of games running on such an old iGPU.
You might be able to run DirectX 7/8, or OpenGL 2.x Windows games, under Wine.

Certainly most games using DirectX 9.0c (or newer), wouldn't run on that hardware, when using Wine.
So it looks like you'll have to dual-boot or just use MS Windows (unless you can afford to upgrade your hardware)...

Bummer. And also I recently discover that my system might unable to support Vulcan as well :cry: .

Out of curiosity:

Why is that Windows can run programs on the same hardware on which Wine can't? Is there some sort of software restriction (definitely not asking for jailbreak if that's the case tough ;)?

Thank you for being informative and nice.

Intel ANV Vulkan support is limited to Haswel or newer (and even that generation has restrictions).
Broadwell, and earlier generations, only have restricted Vulkan support (or none).
Your hardware pre-dates Intel's Vulkan support by some years...

I think the easiest way to explain this is that OpenGL and DirectX are not the identical in supported features/API functions.
Therefore the hardware support required, by each, differs quite significantly.
Wine requires good OpenGL support (or, with dxvk/d9vk, Vulkan support) - hardware and drivers - to translate DirectX calls.
Intel probably developed your graphics card primarily to support DirectX, with fixed function units.
OpenGL support suffers, as is a "second class citizen", on the same hardware...

Intel has been making a concerted effort to improve their Linux driver support, in recent months.
I mean in tangible ways, that end-users - like us - will appreciate! 8)

Intels latest graphics cards now support gallium - via their new iris driver.
This is a big deal, because it means the Gallium D3D9 Mesa driver is supported, by this driver (for better acceleration of D3D9 games).

Also modern graphics cards, with programmable shaders, etc. are more versatile.
Certainly Intel's latest graphics cards - support a reasonably competent Vulkan driver (as I mentioned above).
Their recent poaching of some AMD graphics engineers, bodes even better for the future!

I'm no Intel fanboi, but competition is good! 8)

Thanks...
But TBH, I'm usually moaning about things, on these forums. :lol:
