Unable to play Perfect World

SteamInc · Post by **SteamInc** » Sun Jul 04, 2010 12:20 pm

I am unable to play perfect world. I installed it as the Wine Howto documents said i should. I installed DirectX and everything. But for some reason when i get to the chacter creation part of the game it freezes and wont respond, so I have to close it. Does anybody know how to fix this.

I put everything in the registry like it said also.

If you could do a few things for us:

Linux distro and version (we are familiar with the wordy naming conventions)
Wine version (from a terminal session type in wine --version)
Video card, drivers and version (nVidia 8660 GT, propritary, 195.35 is
an example).

And if you can provide it, the version of Perfect World and if you
patched it with any manufacturer/non-manufacturer patches (no-cd cracks
are acceptable.)

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
Wine 1.1.42
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 (64 MB)

I am not sure which video driver it is. But i know its not properitary.

I belive its X.Org Video Driver 6.0

Oh and my perfect world version is the newest. So it should be version 356 Raging Tide.

Install the proprietary nvidia driver. I believe the correct one for your card is the legacy 173.14.25 driver.

Also, upgrade Wine to the latest development release. 1.1.42 is old.

What does a prop driver have to do with this. I installed the latest wine version.

I fixed it. I don't need and drive changes or anything. Just had to disable Pixel Shader. It works perfectly now.
