0.11.6 appears to have royally wrecked things. As soon as the client starts, there's a pop-up:
C:\Program Files\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\memory(893,98): error X3004: undeclared identifier 'mad'

Hitting "ok" yields another pop-up:
Failed to load Shaders/AntiAliasing.fx

Hitting "ok" yields *another* pop-up:
The D3D device has a non-zero reference count, meaning some objects were not released.

Hitting "ok" yields **another** pop-up:
Failed creating Direct3D device objects.

Followed by:
DXUTCreateDevice failed

and then just a blank white client window

I meay try re-downloading the ggpk, but that will take rather a while... anyone else encountering this, or is it just me?


Same error messages under Linux/Wine. Was perfect before patch. Maybe you Mac guys will figure it out - I hope. I've tried the obvious stuff already*. Currently moving game folder into windows VM to run pack check.

* Deleting production_Config.ini, trying different wine versions both 32 and 64 bit, switching shortcut to the new pathofexile.exe instead of client.exe, etc.

The problem is with wine's d3dx9_42 dll.
Using the windows native dll allows you to play, but you get hideously corrupted fonts.

same pop-up messages about direct3D to me too since patch 0.11.6

well, no more races for me then...

i'm using the 4.0.2 wrapper ( and downloading the 4.1 atm, but not much hoping, with my Radeon GPU)

on a macbook pro 15"

MacOS OX 10.7.5
core i7 2,5Ghz 4Go RAM
with a radeon HD6770M
I can confirm. I tried to delete the whole virtual drive in wine. I redone all the drive installing d3dx9_36 as always. I keep getting the same error. error X3004: undeclared identifier 'mad'.

And the same pop-up as above. If I find something I'll let you know.


BTW I run linux ultimate edition 3.4 as of my os.
I've been trying the various native directx DLL's that winetricks can install. It's quite a list:

"
d3dx10 MS d3dx10_??.dll from DirectX user redistributable (Microsoft, 2010) [downloadable,cached]
d3dx11_42 MS d3dx11_42.dll (Microsoft, 2010) [downloadable,cached]

d3dx9_43 MS d3dx9_43.dll (Microsoft, 2010) [downloadable,cached]


The game used to just require d3dx9_36. Could it be that we need an additional native DLL(s) since the patch?
Same issues.....GGG has finally decided to get rid of the rest of us lowly Mac users.

Ok. I finally decided to install the whole pack of d3dx9 in wine. Plus I ran the redistributable dxsetup in the path of exile folder. Added vcr2010 and openal32. The game run fine with a little bit of font corruption. But not that terrible.

Running the docks 0 lag in linux ultimate edition 3.4.

Did some checking,

Installing full native directX libraries lead to different initial error, leading that GGG has big bug in their code. Windows may tolerate that, but wine is really sensitive to correct programming.

So currently the PoE is broken on both Mac OS X and Linux

Which version of wine? Also did you made any changes in wine cfg?
As far it seems the solution for Linux is install d3dx9_42 via wine tricks (but fonts will be distorted.

As for Mac installing the d3dx9_42 leads to the memory:5:15: error: syntax error, unexpected NEW_IDENTIFIER.
no known solution yet.
