Portal 2 can't run setup EXE

razor7 · Post by **razor7** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 3:24 pm

Hi, i have ubuntu 10.04 and Wine 1.3.17, but when i try to run Setup.exe i get an access violation.

Steps i followed:

Created folder /home/user/wine/Portal2

On terminal ran:
export WINEPREFIX=/home/user/wine/Portal2
winecfg
after that ran cd /media/Downloads/games/Portal2
and finally wine Setup.exe

I get this error "Access violation at address 00409B2A. Write of address 00400000."

Should I install something before with winetricks?

Please advise.

Thanks a lot!

Just install portal 2 via Steam. However it (Portal 2) still doesn't work on Wine anyway.

Well, I managed to copy the installed files from another computer.

In the untopuched wine prefix (don dx9, no vcrun2008), i can play the game with sound, but when i shot the portal gun, it crashes.

Steps to reproduce, shot the first portal, and then shot the second, and the game chrashes.

Any idea?

Are you talking about Portal 1 or Portal 2 here? And are you using any outside patches for those games?

Iḿ talking of portal 2, ass you can see it in the thread title.

I have used SKIDROW crack because my original version doesn't work at all. I managed to get the portal 2 patch 1 and SKIDROW patch but not tested yet, will post results lather.

Best regards!

Well, tested the patch 1, but the result is the same, just after loading screen, the game crashes. Will test with fresh wineprefix.

Best regards!

Hi. Tested with latest wine git, compiled, tryed the game with clean wineprefix, the game loads ok, the level is playable, but when oppening second portal with portal gun, the game crashes.

So I think that is no other option than whait.

Best regards!

How about a logging file then? http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log tells
how.

Hello, i found this thread when searching for answer on question "Why portal2's etup.exe doesn't run?"

And i found solution!

Now hear: the setup.exe will die with "access violation on 00409B2A " if you are trying to run it from FAT32 or NTFS partition. I don't know why, but it is true. So, move the installer's files to the Linux-kind partition (ext2, ext3, raizer, on so on) and run setup.exe - it will start normally!

Yes, i know, the last message on this thread was written at May, but now it's Augest. I just want to help others, who will try to solve that problem.

Have a nice play, everyone!

Maybe you downloaded setup files to the Windows HDD part? I mean, on my laptop I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed with Windows, & I just moved setup.exe & other files for Portal 2 from my
media/windows/downloads/games/portal 2
to the other directory which is in the Linux's HDD part (for example, /home/downloads/portal).

setup ran successfully)

*sorry for my English, I could've made mistakes as it's not my native language.

Good luck!
