Legend of Grimrock won't start

Post by fettouhi »

I just bought Legend of Grimrock and I can't get it to run in wine on my Arch Linux 64 bit machine. Several users have reported getting it to work under wine in Kubuntu and on Mac with wine. When I try to run it I get the following error

Code: Select all

The game needs to have xact and d3dx9 installed and that I have done. I have a Nvidia GT520 Silent card and I am using the latest nvidia drivers.

That's not the correct way to run apps from the command line. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b297df ... b8edc21619

You didn't mention what version of Wine; if it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Running this way

[af@andre ~]$ cd "/home/af/.local/share/wineprefixes/log/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Legend of Grimrock/"
[af@andre ~]$ env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/log wine ./grimrock.exe

yields the same results.

I have it working. I've tried before the Hardware Test and now the Full game. You have to install some native Windows binaries:

winetricks xact_jun2010 d3dx9_36

that's what I have in my Wineprefix for Legend of Grimrock. If that still won't get you to the game you could try installing vcrun2008.

The game runs really good with everything set to High even SSAO in 1920x1080 fullscreen. In the Hardware Test i get 35 fps and with SSAO disabled about 80 fps. The only thing that's causing troubles is sound. I'm using Open Sound System OSSv4 (v4.2-2006) so I don't know how will it work with ALSA or PulseAudio.

FYI, there's now an AppDB entry for this game, and I just processed a bunch of test reports. Ratings are all over the place, but you might want to look at the gold-rated tests to see what tweaks they used.
