Nosgoth (on Steam) - closes without error

[Yankas]

I have a question regarding Nosgoth on steam, when I try to start Nosgoth the Steam popup comes up saying "Performing first time setup... Installing msiexec (Step 1 of 1)" then when the popup closes and nothing happens, the game simply doesn't start, there is no crash or error message.

Using Wine 1.7.2, steam was installed with winetricks, OS is Linux Mint 17, GPU is Geforce 760 using the proprietary driver.

When trying to run the game that is the error message output:

Code: Select all

Upgrade Wine. The current development release is 1.7.21.

I can confirm crash.

This was tested with wine 1.7.19. The same thing happens with wine 1.7.35.
The game now wants vcrun2013 to be installed. I've done that with patched winetricks, which can be found here: https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/so ... 59c6a4bba4

So...what should I do to launch the game?

Does it have a platforms folder in its directory that has a qwindows.dll in it? if so I am having trouble with other square Enix titles using qt5 as well and I think that some sort of python patch may be our only solution.

Well, no...it doesn't.
