Dragon Age 2 Demo

Post by **DanKegel** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:52 am

Seems to work - though the mouse seems a bit wild,
maybe it suffers from bug 6971. And sometimes the
logo movie is still silent.

I had to do winetricks-alpha d3dx9_36 d3dx11_43 devenum
and you'll need the latest winetricks-alpha (20110222), since
I added the d3dx11_43 verb just now.

Easy way to download and install is
winetricks-alpha -q dragonage2_demo

Work here too, in general, but I get no sound. I'm on Debian, using the Ubuntu wine 1.3.14 maverickppa1_amd64 package.
Switching between OSS and ALSA, emulated and full doesn't change anything. SoundDisabled in the ini is set to 0 too. Changing the state of mmdevapi usage also doesn't change anything. I do get sound in Dragon Age: Origins.

Did you do anything special to get sound, perchance?

Ah, okay, got it to work:
Setting UseStereoSound=1 in the INI file seems to enable sound, at least for me.

I have Steam DAO2-Demo crashing after bioware logo movie with "Unhandled page fault on read access". Also, logo still has no sound after winetricks-alpha d3dx9_36 d3dx11_43 devenum done.

I'm on ArchLinux x86_64 wine 1.3.14 with WINEARCH=win32, already tried clean WINEPREFIX and wine virtual desktop.

All the output I have is here:

Any advice would be very very much appreciated

also tried non-Steam install, same crash

I'm seeing no sound sometimes on the dragon logo movie,
too, haven't figured it out yet. Seems to depend on the machine.

And I saw one system that always crashed after the logo movie;
looking at the log with +relay,+seh I saw it was crashing not long
after looking in ~/Bioware/Dragon Age 2 Demo/Characters/*.* and not
finding anything. Deleting the Bioware directory somehow fixed
that.

I've changed in DragonAge.ini UseVSync=1 to 0 and SoundDisabled=1 to 0, and I suppose the last one just fixed that after-logo crash ( and enabled sound, too =)

Everything seems to be running fine now, I hope the full version would too

Hi, I'm very new to Wine. I've been reading up on a lot and have spent at least 20 something hours trying to get this demo to work. XD

I'm mostly just copy/pasting what I see online. Getting results, but not really great ones. I really don't know what I'm doing...

I used to have the Wine that came with Winebottler, but that didn't work out so well for me. I couldn't install the new winetricks-alpha that I needed for this game to work. But I was able to install the game just fine.

I also tried Wineskin 2.0. Which is actually really nice and neat, but for some reason I couldn't open up the winetricks on the "Advanced" tab. I made sure that my wrapper and none of the folders it was in had spaces in them. But it still wouldn't open.

Now, I have Wine 1.2.2 installed through MacPorts. I got cabextract and installed all the necessary stuff like "d3dx9_36", "d3dx11_43", and "devenum". I am 100% sure they are installed. I have tried twice. I also made sure I got the right winetricks-alpha and renamed it to just "winetricks". That's definitely installed too.

My only issue now is, the game still says I don't have DirectX installed.

Did I miss a step? Or am I doing this all wrong?

To be honest, I would like to know how to do this through Wineskin, because I just like how it neatly handles everything especially for games and stuff... But I am willing to try a different way.

Thank you for reading.
