Audiosurf + WINE

[LHoT]

I know that the beta has expired.

I was seeing if there was anyway to play after the beta expired, and apparently last week there was a program called Surfboard. I checked it out, read the readme, and it said that if the program didn't automatically work, to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Now, I checked there in WINE, but I only got to here /home/lhot/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers

So, I am just wondering were the equivalent file is.

[TomPurnell]

I assume (without checking) that wine is using the system-wide hosts file. Try making your changes to /etc/hosts, but be sure to make a backup before you go breaking anything :)

You'll need to be a superuser to edit this file

#gksudo gedit /etc/hosts

Assuming you want to stop the program from successfully resolving a given address, you would add something like this:

0.0.0.0 example-domain.com

This is my first Wine app (Steam + AudioSurf). Audiosurf splash comes up wrong (similar to what is happening here (http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,40.0.html)). I try and mouse around to get the game going and the game isn't registering my mouse clicks. Anything that I am doing wrong?

audiosurf works completely fine as long as you disable the option in wine configuration to allow wine to use the window manager. run it. maximize the window. bitch about the "player error: 44" which if you're like me, you will absolutely get.

Steam keeps telling me that I need the latest DirectX :(
In Steam, Help -> System Information shows DirectX driver 7.5, even when I specify -dxlevel 90.

Xubuntu 7.10
Wine 0.9.56
nVidia GeForce FX 5700

Is it my old nVidia card?

[Raptormn]

[demauk]

Raptormn, do you have an nVidia card as well? Which one?

Chill out. It can sometimes take days to get a response here, especially if you are encountering a problem that no one else has and you haven't provided many details, such as terminal output or hardware specs.

Are you using the restricted driver for your video card and what errors are output to the terminal when you run the game?

[daniel7860]

no i am not using my restricted driver, and how to i get the terminal to output error messages? do i have to run the game through the terminal? if so, how do i do that?

[cogadh]

I forgot that ATI has an open source driver now, I should have asked if you are using the restricted or open source driver. Unless you are using one of them, you won't have 3D acceleration functionality and the game will never work. To confirm that you have 3D functionality, run this in a terminal:
glxinfo | grep direct
If it comes back saying "Direct Rendering: Yes" then 3D acceleration works fine. If it comes back saying "No", then you need to install the restricted or open source driver for your video card.

As for running the game from the terminal, you really should do that, at least until you are certain that you have the game running as well as you can get it to run. To run Audiosurf from the terminal, do this:
cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam
wine Steam.exe -applaunch 12900

The problem you're probably having is that you haven't INSTALLED the latest DX Drivers.

[cogadh]

The problem you're probably having is that you haven't INSTALLED the latest DX Drivers.

Check the dates of the posts before you respond, that one was old and way out of date. Besides, there are no DirectX drivers in Linux or Wine, only in Windows.

[daniel7860]

direct rendering: Yes


and i somehow cant launch it through the terminal, i typed the correct path but it said : no such file or directory......

Hi, I'm new to linux and wine, and I'm trying to play Audiosurf on steam. I've got steam and audiosurf installed fine, but when I try to run audiosurf, it closes immediately after starting. What happens is the steam window opens that says "preparing to launch audiosurf", then after a few seconds, that closes, and then a few seconds later, the audiosurf window itself opens, but blank, and after a few seconds it closes and that's it. I tried running it from the terminal and the same thing happens, but there's no output whatsoever in the terminal either.
Thanks for any help.

While I hate to advocate piracy, there is a pirate version of audiosurf floating around the intertubes that has all the steam stuff stripped out of it, and it works much better than the "official" version.

If you've already paid for the game there's nothing wrong with it. If you haven't bought the game, you're a bad bad person :-)

I tried installing this, it installs and runs fine up until i try to select a song, as its loading it says Player error 44. It seems to offload audio decoding work onto WMP, which wine doesn't have, but i installed WMP10 which doesn't run, and still the same error

Hey, I posted here on page 1.

My original problem was indeed my video card and driver combination, because I got a new computer with a different card on it and the game worked just fine for several weeks.

Then an Audiosurf update came.

And that's where I left it several months ago. Not working at all. Maybe I should try it again.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I installed PlayOnLinux from the software center and Steam through that. Audiosurf downloaded and installed within steam without any apparent issues, but when I go to run it the screen is only filling the bottom left quarter of the window (all visible, just smaller) and the rest is black. The loading bar fills and the OK button appears, but when I click OK (I have to click where the OK button is supposed to be and not where it is for anything else to happen) it hangs for a few seconds and closes.

I've tried a few various suggestions I've found online but none of them seem to have any effect at all. If anyone has any advice for things I could try it'd be greatly appreciated.

Edit: one suggestion said the issue with the screen not coming up correctly would be fixed by running in fullscreen. I couldn't set audiosurf to fullscreen from the menus obviously, but I tried editing the config file to make it start in fullscreen. That fixed said issue, but the same thing happens once it loads and I click ok.
