[Official] WINE info thread

I'm having a strange issue with the open beta. The game freezes for 1 second with every chat message that comes through. I'm on wine 1.4 and it worked perfectly during the closed beta. This issue started with the new patch.

Hi guys!

I'm trying to play path of exile on Gentoo 64-bit with Bumblebee (I have an Nvidia GeForce 540m). The game works with one completely show-stopping problem: I get a pretty severe framerate drop every time an enemy dies on-screen. As you can imagine, this happens pretty often. It lasts between a second to 2 seconds.

I've tried wine versions 1.4, 1.5.6, and 1.5.15, same results. I've tried disabling vsync in nvidia-settings, same results. I've tried every graphics option available in-game. I've run out of ideas for things to try. Anyone know what else might be causing this?

Apart from this horrible bug, everything else works fine. Game loads, sounds work fine, gameplay (as long as nothing dies) is fluid and I can run around town or aggro a million mobs to my hearts content.

EDIT: Should also add that this effect happens regardless of the enemy that dies, as of the beginning of the terraces (so basically, zombies, the spitter things, and hillock)

Played it briefly before open beta patch. I was having some glitches when using abilities as has been noted earlier. I have openal32 set as '(native then builtin)' as per the PlayonLinux script. Should this be set to just straight 'native'?

I am currently running PoE pretty well otherwise on wine 1.4 (how do you check for framerate, btw?) I will definitely give 1.5.6 a whirl after game is updated!

Thanks for all the help to everyone who's contributed to this thread and to getting PoE working on Linux!

Hi to all!
On Mint 64 bit the command "wine /i /home/...PoE.msi" give me that result:

fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
fixme:msi:ControlEvent_SpawnWaitDialog Doing Nothing

pefore he gave me also a lot of other errors, one of these was:
p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so I installed p11-kit and now I have the above fixme messages...

If I try to run the client I get:
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Client.exe"

is the first time I try to use wine... someone can help me?

thanks to all!

P.S.: SORRY, I HAVE FOUND A NEW ICON ON MY DESKTOP "Path of Exile" AND NOW THE DOWNLOAD IS STARTING

P.P.S.: Allocating Space... Reading on other threads it seems that the problem is common and that part of the installation can take up to 10 hours... I hope to see results when I come back from work

I installed POE through PlayOnLinux, worked like a charm. See if your distributions have it in the repositories, it will save you a huge load of trouble.

As far as I remember there is also a PlayOnMac equivalent for Mac.

You need to provide some more information on how/when this happened, if you want help. Why distro are you using, what computer, 64 bit or 32 bit, what wine version...

What version of wine are you running. Anything newer than 1.5.6 has a memmory leak issue with PoE. Go into the console and type:
wine --version

fedora 3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc NI Turks [AMD Radeon HD 6500]
