Prey Demo works with wine

[snooze]

And it works pretty well too.

1024x728, video maxed, high quality settings. (AA turned off).
amd 2600+, nvidia 6600gt, 1.5 gigs ram.

It's not perfect. There is some slowdown and sound stutter,
but considering my system specs and video settings, and WINE ,
it's amazing.

Definately worth the huge d/l. (450+ megs).

I can't get the demo to start. It loads fine, but gives me a startup error in the program when it loads:

I don't know why this is happening. All my other wine games run fine like Warcraft 3. Any ideas? I don't know what some of these systems are like QGL. Anyways, has anyone else had these problems and fixed them?

Prey Demo is out ? Did you try with the ubuntu version of WINE ? Or a younger version ?

I remember having heard of Prey the first time in 1999 or so...

And Duke 4 Ever ? :-({|=

I'm using ubuntu wine 0.9.16.
The newest, I think.

[strattonbrazil]

Hi Snooze,

I have CPU scaling turned on (it's a laptop), so the CPU kicks up when the game starts (up to 1.8 GHz). Games like Doom 3, FEAR and Quake 4 all run great on my system. Just don't know why FEAR doesn't work...

Thanks, though.

[lotusleaf]

Cool news, thanks for the thread.

FWIW:

Prey (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=3465) is listed in the Wine Application DB (http://appdb.winehq.org/)(Prey demo listing here (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=5118)) with positive ratings, this looks good!

I recommend to everyone who uses WINE (and has a few spare minutes) to always provide feedback to the WINE App DB for the program you're using.

I've also noticed a few older games which use DirectX to actually work with the latest WINE version. WINE is just getting better and better! :)

[bocmaxima]

Mine crashes after choosing english in the installer :(

[snooze]

I can't explain why some people have crashes.
It uses the DOOM3 engine.
Logic suggests that if doom3 works on your system, so should this.

[snooze]

I really hope that the full released version of Prey works natively.
I remember when only the demo of Sin would work.
Couldn't get the full version to work.

[gaillard]

can anyone do a speed comparison?

[Bokonon]

No love here. Died on install, wine 0.9.16.

To be fair, I haven't messed with wine much other than trying to install things with winetools. Not the best of luck so far installing anything other than Kingmaker (for NWN) via wine.

I have a windows partition for gaming :)

[LinuxRocks]

I can get it installed just fine using Cedega, but when I fire up the game, I get the spash screen, then it dies with this message:

mmtime pid=32181 tid=32192
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...


Anyone care to share how they got it to run? Any config options need to be set.

For the record, HL2, Alice, FarCry, and others work great. Doom3 and Quake 4 run naively just fine as well.

I am using the latest Cedege and engine also.

Thanks!!!

you have to change the color depth in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from 16 to 24 :)

I can't get it to install at all. After I click the Next button on the installer, I get an error:

An error (-5009 : 0x80040707) has occurred while running the setup.

I seem to be running version 0.9.12 according to Synaptic Package Manager.
And I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog.

Thanks.

Anyone got any ideas?

[justjuice]

So, I managed to get it installed, but there is no Prey.exe anywhere. The installer says it installed successfully, but it seems not. And I have tried with Wine in XP, 2000, and 98 mode, all with the same result. And it's definitely not anywhere as I try to locate anything called "Prey" using the locate command. All it finds is my installer and a couple of Prey icons.

The terminal has the following output.
Can someone help?

[mooter]

I got Prey for xmas. It runs better on Linux!
I got a Geforce 6800XT and can run it full with the exception of Anistropix at 8X and no antialiasing, (maybe I'll try Anistropic 4x and 2x Antialias)

Anyway, I can't get it to recognise my surround sound. It should be automatic, I'm only hooked up throught digital coax (spdif) and AC3 Passthrough works.

Anyone else getting surround to work?
My sound is hda-intel ICH7 STAC92xx

Peace
