[Official] WINE info thread

Oddly enough, I tried following the step by step and it worked!!

I think one thing I did differently before (besides usp10) was I ran the setup.msi when I re-created my prefix, rather than just copying the files over. So perhaps there is something in the setup of the DirectX stuff with the msi that causes issues.

When I did NOT run the setup, and just copied the files as the walkthrough suggested, it is now working perfectly (I also didn't install usp10).

I installed usp10 again using the winetricks to see if it would have any affect on the font issue and it had no effect. I also installed riched20 because I like the fixed launcher... also had no effect on the fonts.

So to sum up my experience... I followed the guide step by step then installed usp10 and riched20 and have no font issues. Only thing I can see that I did differently this time vs other times is I did not install PoE through the msi setup, but rather copied it as the walkthrough suggests, leading me to believe it is the dxsetup or something with the msi setup causing the problem.

possibly they are related to something else?

Oh for everyone with the text glitch problem, try updating your microcode if you haven't, my problem went away after I did a CPU and BIOS upgrade. I use an Intel i7 processor and microcode-ctl which loads the microcode at boot. I use the latest microcode.dat, 20120606-​v2 from 10/1/2012.

Little bit overkill, when only thing needed, is NOT to install the game, but copy it... (setup.msi corrupts the fonts)

Well I tried 1.5.6 and didn't get the freezes (at least for the time i was playing).
I also have a friend who has the same system (Gentoo, Nvidia Binary) and also complains about the freezes.
What commit was the fix in 1.5.24?
Or do I need to run the winetricks vcrun,d9,usp10 stuff again?
