I'm just preparing for the weekend and "Allocating Space..." is now running around 60 minutes and seems to be stuck at 75% I will try to update in a windows VM because i don't have any windows installation on my system By the way i had to install "vcrun2010" Update: i didn't interrupt the "Allocating Space..." and now after 2.5 hours it has finished and the update begun to download Last edited by dark_wulf#7042 on Jul 26, 2012, 4:53:15 PM	Posted by dark_wulf#7042 on Jul 26, 2012, 3:29:14 PM Quote this Post

PoE uses the DirectX API, an abstraction layer which is emulated by wine. I don't think they can just stop using that and make the graphics and stuff in OpenGL, it's less likely that ~6 programmers could support a port to an OS as varied as Linux, so it's more likely we will keep using compatibility layers for this game. I would like a native installer/launcher though, if they could package up something with their little sync program and made it depend on wine and whatever libraries the game client needs, then sent it out to the distros to add to their repositories, it would bring a lot of eyes to their game. Well, there is a mention in the FAQ, I think, of a possible MAC client in the future, so if they do that and add OpenGL for MAC there is a much greater chance of also doing a Linux client later. And games with OpenGL rendering work much better in Wine even if they don't actualy have a native client.	Posted by Ansla#6625 on Jul 29, 2012, 4:08:50 AM Quote this Post

Tried to play this weekend open test. Constantly crashes for me (sound off) somewhere in d3dx9_42 (1-2% of times in other d3dx9_% lib). On clean wineprefix with vcrun2010, d3dcompiler_43 wine 1.5.9, gentoo amd64 gf 8800gts 640mb	Posted by theli#6331 on Jul 29, 2012, 3:45:55 PM Quote this Post
Tried it with Arch x64, Wine 1.5.9, GTX680, Nvidia 304.22 beta. I'm getting ~10fps. Any suggestions? Has anybody managed to run the game with a 680?	Posted by ryzion#2100 on Jul 30, 2012, 4:47:29 AM Quote this Post

I just tried it out on a current Ubuntu 12.04 (aka precise, 32-bit version) with a default wine installation (version 1.4, default ubuntu package, no patches). The installation took forever (in the "allocating space" state) but the game works. Without sound I got about 20 fps (lowest video settings, windowed with 1024x768). With sound I had maybe 7-10 fps. Tested on an Athlon 64 X2 5200+, 2GB RAM, Geforce 8400 gs. I'll retry that on my gaming PC and report back.	Posted by niebie#7887 on Aug 1, 2012, 1:44:46 PM Quote this Post
