FEAR 2 on WINE 1.1.21???

Hi there,

I got this problem, it's making me frantic:
I got fear 2 as a present and installed it via wine, after installing vcrun2008 with winetricks, the game worked perfectly(wine 1.1.18/19). The Texture were black at 1st, but deactivating the game's graphic effect Ambient Lighting(not sure about the name, but it's the last option in the fear 2 graphic settings) fixed the game.
Since 1.1.20, the game won't start anymore! Now I'm using 1.1.21 and whenever I start the game, it gives me this:

Code: Select all

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\FEAR2\\FEAR2.exe" failed, status c0000135

Btw, I installed vcrun2008 via winetricks. MSVCR80 and such are part of vcrun2005, which I installed, too, but this output didn't change. As a test, I added the MSVCR80 & MSVCP80.dll to the windows/systems folder, but starting fear 2 didn't work.

Now, before I roll back to 1.1.19, I wanted to know if others have the same problem. If yes, then this might be an indication for another Regression.

P.S.: I copied the FEAR2 folder to my WindowsXP on vmware and the game worked flawlessly there...

You may have installed some other program after Fear2 that tried to install the VCRedist over top of the one you already had installed hence messing up your /windows/winsxs directory. It's a good idea to make the directory read-only.

LTMemory.dll & GameDatabase.dll are Fear2 specific files that should be in the game folder wether you're using the steam or (cough) non-steam version.

MSVCRxx.dll Files messes up wine, so if you have any of those files in System32 folder remove them.
MSVCPxx.dll files are fine to put there.

I removed the MSVCRxx.dll files from the windows/systems directory again... Also, I didn't install anything after fear2 and vcrun2008, it just stopped to work after I moved the game folders to the newly installed .wine directory. Well, the only programs I installed would have been Steam which will be installed by fear2 automatically if you didn't install it already and 7zip, but I cannot believe that both would mess up something, since the game worked before.. I will compile Wine from scratch again, maybe something really messed up some things...
So for you, Fear2 is working? On the newest version of wine?

EDIT:
I reinstalled wine, but the result is the same... Btw, the fear2 dlls are present, I suppose that the game has a problem with vcrun2008.

ok, vcrun2005sp1 is required to start the game.
So now, the game starts, but gives me another error:

The Vertex Shaders maybe? Any Ideas?
