World in conflict

Coala · Post by **Coala** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 4:39 am

I do not know if this is a game related thing, if it is wine, or if it is my brain, but i have this problem:

World in conflict 1.009 used to run flawless in wine 1.1.16.
Yesterday Tuesday 10. there was a patch for World in conflict upgrading the game to version 1.010. One of the new features is a desktop launcher that starts from running the wic.exe or wic_online.exe. My problem is that when i run WIC I only get a short glimt of the launcher before it shuts down.
Short version of the problem: I click the Exe, the launcher starts, 2 sec later, I see the launcher for about 0.5-1 sec. Then it closes. (Shuts down). Anyone here have the same problem with WIC or any simmilar problem on any other game launchers ?

Best regards CoalaLumpback.

This is the message I get before the launcher just closes

I installed using this link.

You need to work a little bit with the setting.
Here are a few things i had to do which i took from that link + a few other links i ended up following in desperation.

-you have to copy some dll files from your DVD to your World in conflict install folder.
-binkw32.dll, dbghelp.dll, mss32.dll(From the 'bin' directory on the DVD)
-wicloc11.sdf and wicloc12.sdf (From ldata/English, ldata/French, ldata/German, ldata/Italian, ldata/Spanish, or ldata/All depending on language)

-open wine cfg and disable d3d10
-Add dxdiagn (native,builtin)
-import to: wine regedit
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"UseGLSL"="disabled"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DirectSound]
"DefaultBitsPerSample"="8"
"DefaultSampleRate"="22050"
"EmulDriver"="Y"

(paste it in a file, and rename it something.reg, then run wine regedit and import it.)

The reg stuff above is for better performance.

-you need to add driver emulation and turn off OSS in wine cfg in the Sound tab.

Think thats it. But In any case, that was how i got the 1.009 version to work. now I cant get the launcher to work after the 1.010 release.
Hope someone find something useful soon.
