Dragon Age Origins not displaying any graphics

[suomynona]

Hi.

Newbie on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS here. Been trying to get Dragon Age: Origins to work for some time now, and I've realized that I'm not the only one. Since I haven't been able to find anyone else with the same error, I thought I'd make a post about it.

I installed the game (1.0) and DirectX with wine (1.4) and the game claimed it couldn't find the DVD. After some googling, I found out that this was becuase wine can't/won't access the disc, so I (shamefully) downloaded and applied a crack. Here's where the real trouble started. Almost every animation and texture in the game, including the backgrounds and icons of the menus, are replaced by black/gray boxes. I've tried different cracks, different versions of the game and downloaded countless dll's and drivers. No change. Also, the Launcher won't start, but that isn't too much of a bother except that it might imply some other error. I'll add the Terminal output from when I start the game below.

Your Wine version is old; start by upgrading to 1.6 or later.

What graphics card/driver are you using?

[suomynona]

I've seen a lot of talk about wine 1.6 and 1.7, but according to wineHQ 1.5 is the lastest version. And 1.4 is the latest stable version. So how would I get anything later?

Intel Mobile 4 integrated (yeah, laptop...).

Huh? Our main page lists 1.6 as the latest stable release and 1.7.0 as the current development release. http://www.winehq.org/

If you mean the only package available for your distro is 1.5, contact your distro package maintainer. WineHQ does not package binaries.

Was looking at http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu, which clearly advertises 1.4 as the latest stable release. Someone should probably look into it. But no matter, I'm currently downloading the 1.6 source and will get back as soon as it's unpacked/packed/installed/whatever term might be appropriate.

Please file a bug and cc Scott Ritchie.

So. I've finally installed wine1.6, and now the Dragon Age installer says "the internal settings seems to be corrupt".
