Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited

[Jeek Elemental]

Free to play mmo (with cash shop and perks for subscribing) based on d&d 3.5, set in Eberron.

As of wine --version 1.3.37 no special settings or native .dlls are needed, use appdb only as reference if any problems occur.

Checklist for problem free running:

-DDO installed in clean .wine/ (no added registry settings, nothing installed)
-pylotro installed and set up (wizard in menu), either linux or windows version
-DDO updated through pylotro (ddo hangs at loading screen if version mismatch)
-OpenGL support, proprietary ATI or Nvidia drivers needed. Hw demands are very modest.
-Wine version 1.3.37 or later

Feel free to ask questions if your setup differs but please detail differences.

Wine 1.4 is now in the official repositories and has no problems running ddo, if theres any glitches try
the latest beta wine ppa at: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

go to www.ddo.com for account and download, http://www.lotrolinux.com/download.php
for launcher (thank you ajackson and SNy for making this!)

[Naegling23]

thanks for the info, I have been following this release, intending to check it out. I've never played DDO before, and was unsure how it ran in wine. I guess I'll have to check it out now.

[peacewithall]

Just a note, this game is free to play now, with cashshop.
Seems to be a love/hate game for most, I prefer it over any mmo out there :)

go to www.ddo.com for account and download, http://www.lotrolinux.com/download.php
for launcher.

Perfect fit for ubuntu and wine, I run 3 clients at the same time on my feeble X2 4600/2GB+radeon 4650/512MB.
Cpu-wise its fine actually, but memory is tight.

This is on ubuntu jaunty 64bit, wine 1.29 and catalyst 9.10.
I did run into a crash bug, setting texture quality to very low fixed it for now.

OMG thanks so much for this !!!!.

[Tigersmind]

Thanks for the info!

I have been looking for an MMO and I like this one so far. The launcher is just fantastic :D

[uberlube]

ok so i have the launcher installed, have an account made, and i downloaded the installer. when i try to run it though it gives me this error:

$ wine ddostandard.exe
Log file is being written to C:\windows\temp\ddostandard.exe.log
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6b0d6b

Anyone else getting this or know a workaround?

[DamnName]

I have an identical error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting it as well with ddohigh.exe

im not getting an error but mine says the same thing when i try to install DDO, this happens well before you need LOTRO's program, how do you fix it?

on Wine HQ it looks like it hasnt been tested in 1.29, the WineHQ forums have no info regarding this error, and it looks like noones had a solution yet, could anyone post thier instructions of exactly what they did to get it to operate?

[uberlube]

i agree, pls let us know how u got it working if u did

[jasonditz]

According to another forum this is a known issue with wine, and the only way to successfully install DDO is to use the beta installer (which unfortunately I haven't been able to find anywhere).

[Jeek Elemental]

yes the new installer wont work it seems, I missed that since I updated from an existing install.
If you have access to a windows box the install directory can simply be copied to your wine drive.

details: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17785

Since the client is free now and can be copied without problems, maybe Turbine will allow a .torrent of the install dir.

[uberlube]

I did copy the dir from a win box but for some reason pylotro is detecting it but says it cant find language files. I copied both the DDO folder and the Turbine one as well but im not sure if there was something else i needed. any ideas?

[uberlube]

ok so looking back on the win box i realized that it hadnt actually finished installing. ill post back later on my progess once its transfered

[uberlube]

ok so i can confirm that the game runs quite well once its copied over. 6.3 gigs in total so be ready if ur gonna do it.

[HKJGN]

awesome ill have to try it

[thaswiftness]

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem loading this game.

I can get pylotro to load up, I log in, the game launches, but it won't get past the opening screen with the ESRB notice / copyright info screen. The window just closes and the wine log screen from pylotro just says ***Finished***

What am I missing here? :confused:

I have the same problem. Are you using the high definition texture download, by any chance? Maybe the advanced graphics stuff is crashing wine.

[thaswiftness]

Yes, but I've also tried disabling the high res graphics in the pylotro settings. I also found that there was a log created from the dndclient :

The error code from the dndclient seems to point to a .Net problem from turbine from some searching I did, but I've used winetricks to install it.

:confused:

[Tamvolan]

So, Uberlube:

What you're saying is that you need to install the game on the windows box, and copy over the folder where the game has been installed? Then you can just wine executable name, from the folder?

[uberlube]

So, Uberlube:

What you're saying is that you need to install the game on the windows box, and copy over the folder where the game has been installed? Then you can just wine executable name, from the folder?

Yes and no. You do need to copy over the FULLY installed game into your wine prefix under Program Files. What I mean by fully is that the game will install about 600mb at first and then the turbine manager will install the rest in the background, so ull have to wait until it is finished to grab the whole thing. Once its copied over you have to install pylotro and use that to launch the game.

[Tamvolan]

Gotcha. I started the download last night, let it run all night, and it got stuck around 3.4 GB out of the 4.8 or whatever it was...

[HKJGN]

worked perfectly for me.

[Jeek Elemental]

Note that the Wine version in the default repos is pretty old.

If you cant get it to run with wine 1.0 you could try

http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

for the latest wine.

For 64bit you may have to use

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

[ulyyoung]

Hi there, I'm having a bit of a different problem, I'm wondering if anyone else sees this error...
I was able to copy windows files over, and install pylotro/lotrolinux, from there I was able to change game settings for DDO, and ran the "check" from tools to update.
After updating I try to log in, however I have been getting this error.

Checking account details...
[E08] Server not found - may be down

Said this for any server I tried. Anyone know a solution?

[evil_urna]

I got the game to install just fine and run. My problem is it runs like utter crap. It is very, very slow even with low quality and useing the normal installer. My machine is well above system reqs so its not that.

[Gylu]

Hmm with a little work I get a fully installed dir from some one and was able to use the LotR launcher to get logged in but when I log into the game it will not respond to my keyboard and I can move my mouse but I can not click on anything. Is anyone else having this problem?

Like most things running under WINE you need way more than the minimum requirements.
I assume you have a high end nvidia card (or ati if you're not lucky) and lots of ram + a fast multicore processor?

[Gylu]

OK with a little trial and error ie smashing the keyboard with my hands I have it working. For some reason hitting the print screen key will make my keyboard/mouse start working. I have to hit it every time I log in but then it work till I log out.

Or you could just make sure the windows version in wine is set to windows 2000. Saves on damage to keyboards :)

[jmervyn]

Mr. Jackson, you have definitely put together a nice product. Might I suggest that instead of having three different places where one has to select LotRO or DDO, a single selection?

Sadly, I am unable to get the damn .EXE to get past your program, but I'm trying to run it without recompiling <AND> from a different HDD.

It claims,
"err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element" followed by a Wine Game Error [205] "The game client was passed invalid command-line parameters.[205]" Chances are if I wasn't trying to be cute and use the same installation for both sides of my dual-boot, I'd be successful.

[ajackson]

Mr. Jackson, you have definitely put together a nice product. Might I suggest that instead of having three different places where one has to select LotRO or DDO, a single selection?
There are only really two places where you need to select which game you want, in the configuration (either manual or wizard) which once done shouldn't need altering and when selecting a default game or switching between which game to play. Since the whole log in, patch, etc procedures are the same having two separate launchers would be a waste of time.

Neither error is to do with the launcher, well the second one is in a way. The first is just a sound error, Ubuntus pulse and wines Alsa don't seem to play nicely (under Karmic they seem more friendly) so for LotRO & DDO it is best to set Wines sound to OSS (use winecfg), you'll lose sound in the cut scenes but that can't be helped.

The second error is because the game isn't patched, it is the game client throwing out that error. With DDO and a non Mines of Moria version of LotRO you need to find a suitable version of patchclient.dll (www.lotrolinux.com/LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2), I believe that Eberron Unlimited now has a suitable version of this file but you need to patch to get it (nice chicken & egg situation) so just drop LotROs version into your game directory and try patching.

[jackschmidt]

I figured out how to install DDO without having to copy a Windows install. You have to use the DDO Stormreach installer instead of Eberron.

Here's the installer I used.
Download (http://download.ddo.level3.turbine.com/largecontent/ddo/mod8/downloader/live/standardres/DDO-US-Mod8-Downloader-StandardRes.exe)

This will download the entire 2.9+ GB installer for Stormreach. Install that and use PyLotRO to update the game up to Eberron.

Hope this helps other players who want to play DDO but don't have a Windows installation.

Cheers!

[Artemis3]

I just did this, but I'm at a loss of what to do after launching pylotro.

There is a "Patch" inside the "Tools" menu, but all that does is show 3 times this message:


err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to find the entry point L"Patch" in L"patchclient.dll"

If i launch the game, i get to see a pretty movie, and then a loading screen that never finishes.

Try reading my post (three up) about patching.

[Naegling23]

Thanks for the install info, the game seems like fun the brief time I have been able to try it out.

However, I keep getting frequent and sporatic crashes of the game. I tried setting texture detail to very low, but they still happen...are there any other potential fixes. According to winehq, setting the game to windows 2000 works better...ive already tried that one.

Edit: I found out I was using the version of wine from the repo's. Does this make that big of a difference?

Edit-Edit: upgrading to the latest wine release seems to have fixed the problem.

[sabmo]

Just here to say THANKS AJACKSON!

I couldn't get the current version to work, but I downloaded the previous version and then used the patcher, the patcher didn't work until I updated the patcher.dll but after that it patched then ran properly!

Good work man!

Now just to get Turbine to officially support Linux!

[eSilence]

After using ArchLinux and struggling to get DDO:EU to work over there, I switched to Kubuntu Karmic 64 bit. The game actually works here, unlike Arch. But I also have a problem.

At random points during the gameplay, the game will close without warning and the Output window just says ***Finished***. My game is patched and everything, as I can log on fine.

Any help?
Thanks,
Echoed.

How did you install, what else have you installed in the same prefix, have you altered the registry in any way?
How about wine version, you did read the sticky at the top of the forum I take it?

When you say install, you mean DDO, right? I got DDO from my windows Vista machine. I just copied the folder from Program Files over, and dropped that into my /home/atherion.

For wine, I just grabbed the latest version from the website, which is 1.1.32. And I haven't changed my registry in any way.

[ajackson]

I haven't changed my registry in any way.
That could be the problem, you have a pretty new graphics card and wine might not be detecting it right so you end up with the default amount of graphics memory (which isn't much), my guess is the crashes have happened when there has been a huge change in the textures needed (i.e. going inside/outside, switching zones, etc).

The AppDB page has the correct registry entry to change to match your true amount of graphical memory (I can remember part of the name but wouldn't want to guess the full registry path).

[Toffeeapple]

Mine looks like this..


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"Multisampling"="enabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="auto"
"VideoMemorySize"="512"

and that works just fine on the system in my sig.

Could it be that I don't have that directory? Look:

[Toffeeapple]

Yep, that could be it, you need to make a new key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ called Direct3D and then add the string values..

[themusicwave]

Anyone know why I would be getting an error indicating I don't have the current client when I try to run it?

Before upgrading to Karmic everything worked great. I'm not sure what is missing or what changed during the upgrade. Any help would be great. I get this wine output as well:

As a followup from my last post, I changed the wine package I am using. Previously I had the package called wine from teh repo which was version 1.01.

Now I have wine1.2 which is wine 1.1.31. It still gives me the same message:

"Connection Failed: You do not have the current version of the client installed"

Also, I get these errors in pylotro's output window:

Try going to 1.1.32. The wine version that is. It didn't work for me until I moved there, although I didnt have your error. Gonna try that registry fix now.

It gets to the loading screen and then just quits. Works fine in XP, so I guess I'll be booting into that to play.

I went back to wine 1.01 in Ubuntu Karmic and now the game launches and plays. The only problem is no sound.

In the in game audio menu, it lists "none" as the only sound option. Not sure why wine isn;t seeing my card any more.

If I go in to wincfg, and mess with the options and hit sound test it always works. It just never seems to work in the game.

Any ideas?

[evil_urna]

I am haveing a issue with voice chat. It works great on my windows boot with my USB headset but is does not with ubuntu. I tried just useing a normal mic and that does not work either. In the in game voice chat settings the only option it gives me is "default" I have played around with the Ubuntu sound settings and it does see the USB mic and I can use it with other apps but just not with DDO.

I read somewhere that you have to use the wine config to point ALSA to 0, whatever that means, but I have no idea where I can do that, if I click on config on ALSA it does nothing.

TIA

Holy crap. This could work. Now my only problem is they are asking me to edit a file called .asoundrc and this file appears not to exist on my system. Any ideas there?

I found a post on the forum that dealt with this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=360791. I used the sample config and the issue now is it tries to pipe all the audio through the headset instead of through the speakers. I think my problem is with this config file. is there a way to generate one that is more accurate to my system?

My mic now works. horray! But now my audio does not work. In the in-game audio menu the only choice is now "default audio on USB audio" and it does not come through the speakers or the USB headset speaker. I am pretty much lost at this point lol.

[Toffeeapple]

HI,

.asoundrc in your home directory is basically a per user configuration file for alsa. and as far as I know ubuntu uses pulse which 'then' uses alsa and then gets all complicated and I really haven't the faintest idea how it all works, you're on your own : )

Not wanting to go into it all and really I haven't the faintest clue anyway.. but pules as far as I have found from trying it on occasion, where as it does give you more 'bells and whistles' ooh I can set individual volumes for individual apps.. ! and stuff, to fiddle with, at the end of the day it just overcomplicates the issue.

Right now I'm on an arch install with just alsa and my sound is all rather easy to deal with and that link I gave earlier helps me have duel sound cards in all my wine prefixes where needed.

[Toffeeapple]

But!

you are only mentioning one sound source in your .asoundrc file

this is mine.


pcm.Audigy2 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.Audigy2 {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.Live {
type hw
card 1
}

ctl.Live {

}



Do this in a terminal to see what you have.

cat /proc/asound/cards

This is what I get.

[Xovan]

FIXED:See bottom


As this is the place with the most complete thread talking about this I'll ask here. :D

On my slackware64 13 machine I was able to
get wine running
download and install DDO
download and install pyLotro
patch DDO through pyLotro

However once I put in my credentials and try to start the launcher I get no errors, no messages, it just runs one of my cores like hell and never actually launches the game. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong?

Don't know if this helps but the visual c++ runtime 2005 is installed through winetricks but it doesn't seem to show up in pylotro's "Check Prefix" menuitem dialog under the tools menu.



Btw here's some basics my machine:
AMD Phenom 1.8ghz Quad Core
1 gig ram
Nvidia Geforce 8400 256MB
Slackware 13 (64-bit)


Fix:
what I did wrong was I installed DDO BEFORE I installed the .net framework version 1.1 So I had to clean my wine prefix and winetricks cache


rm -rf .wine
rm -rf .winetrickscache
winecfg


And then install visual C++ runtime 2005 and visual C++ runtime 2005 sp1 then .net framework version 1.1 then install DDO

[Ferrat]

The DDO installer worked great for me, I had the
visual C++ runtime 2005 fix and the regedit hack for .NET
The downloader doesn't work in WINE, ran that in a VMBOX then downloaded highres install, moved it to LInux and ran the install via WINE (in terminal, "normal" double click doesn't work) and it installed just fine, updated OOTB with pyLOTR and played without any problems on high graphics :)

[NeoFax]

OK, I had the game working fine just last night on my laptop and now it starts, switches to the correct resolution displays the hourglass mouse and then dumps back to PyLOTRO. I have not made any changes from then until now. I am running Karmic w/ Wine 1.1.35, Intel Mobile 945GM w/ S3TC Texture compression turned on.

[Schotty]

Sorry to be as late to the party as I could have posted day one of the new version of DDO (the addition of F2P).

I have been running this on my iMac and on my Ubuntu 9.10 boxes for some time. Firstly on my iMac, later after I bought a new lappy on that with 9.10.

On both I am using the same method.

1) Install Crossover Games
2) Download the FULL installation files for the game & Install off of that
3) Download the windows pytlotro, install it, and use that to then patch and load the game

I found that as of day one, that was not possible, but an update somewhere around October 1st give or take has a wine update that fixes the bug that prevents the installation off of the full install blob that was aforementioned.

I am currently running this with no issues on both my iMac (OSX 10.5.the latest) and my Laptop (9.10 x64).

I avoided using vanilla wine due to oddities I have run into on Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL in the past with wine64. I must be honest, I did Google if Ubuntu had the issues and saw some did, but have no firsthand knowledge if there ARE issues on Ubuntu x64 with wine64 loading apps properly or not. I just would rather avoid the issues entirely.

Hope this helps someone, and all hail the uberness of the wine devs, and Codeweavers, as they let us all game on linux with non native evile win32 code. Although I do have a sub with Cedega, Transgaming has been dropping the ball alot lately and hasn't gotten squat working correctly for me in ages.

Has anyone had issues with double click ie: when buying an item?

I have been playing this game for a couple of months, worked fine at first. Later i noticed having trouble double clicking, needing to do it like 3 or 4 fast clicks in a row to make it work. But today, i found i can no longer double click at all. Also i seem to have lost right click... Anyone else experiencing this? This doesn't happen with other wine apps.

PS: If someone finds this post, i solved it by deleting/renaming the files ddo.keymap and UserPreferences.ini (both of them). These files are normally stored in "My Documents\Dungeons and Dragons Online" which in my case turns to be "~/Dungeons and Dragons Online" (My Documents is symlinked to ~).

Hi guys,
I went through procedure (script) given by salemboot and game installed pretty smooth. However I don't see any update option under tools.
SO I would consider the game I'm trying to run is previous version and the problem is I just get black window with title as [129]Game Error

I think b1n4ryb0rn here have same issue. I didn't choose default folder for installation if that matters installed it under /home/DDO/Game. And my system setup is Intel x3100 graphics, 4GB RAM, 2.4 GHz C2D, UBUNTU 9.10 with kernel 2.6.32

Thank you

[ajackson]

Intel x3100 graphics
That is probably your problem, I don't think many people have had any joy with DDO and the Intel drivers.

[xtracool_protik]

As I've thought
Its really bad to get really good processor and ram but no video card. I couldn't play HoN for same reason.
Anyway still if anyone else have any other ideas please let me know or if any work around

Thanks :)

Since the release of update 3 for DDO, I have not been able to update to the new version of DDO through pylotro. The game ran perfectly fine up until the release of update 3. The output from the patching screen is:

Hi all,

Ajackson: Im having a specific issue with video for the game as soon as I login screen is black. I have turned off compiz and now it actually shows ubuntu's bars at top and bottum - im running a Intel 915 express, and I know Intel cards are supported by the game by doing a little research.

I ran across this suggestion on another post from you:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812367


Run cmsettings.exe and choose OpenGL rather than Direct3D, that works fine for me.

Think this would resolve my issues as well?

Since it is impossible to switch DDO into OpenGL mode I can't answer that question.

[ajackson]

Can people not PM me asking for support, all it does is annoy me and get you added to my ignore list. This is a support FORUM not a support PM service.

[melinko2003]

Yea, as far as the Intel cards go - I did a bit more research on them. Unless linux actually properly utilizes the Graphics Accelerator with the onboard chip its not going to be able to play DirectX games. However in windows land... Apparently it works just fine. I still wouldn't trade Linux though .. The alternative I've found is to Rig in a low profile SLI 1x Nvidia graphics card, and play on that.

Cheer's and thanks for the clarification that OpenGL wasnt supported. I had did some hunting around and came across that as well. Sucks but It seems to be a driver issue that could be resolved by Intel. YAK

[ajackson]

The fakeNET part isn't really needed but doesn't really do any harm (the installation of .NET used to blow up during the install phase, the fakeNET just fooled the installer into thinking it didn't need to do it).

As for the first bit, the only one I'd keep is VideoMemorySize, the rest might help certain cards/configurations but they can always be added later if needed.

[KMSMD]

I had to install the Stormreach one to get anything to work for this game, but when the game starts up I get the error message of "Connection Failed: You do not have the current version of the client installed". Now what?

Can anyone confirm?

[melinko2003]

I just verified if flipping the 3d acceleration on in virtualbox(3.1.4) wouldn't change D3D Status to "Enabled" , and it didn't. If I remember from all I have read about DDO, its temperamental about video cards. It seems that it only really like Nvidia Cards and rarely ATI cards(Even on windows). Im going to give it a shot tonight on my test machine ill report tomorrow or late tonight what the results are. I would suspect you will get a [192] Texture Error if it doesn't recognize the card.

-Mel

P.s. You might try Vmware?

[KMSMD]

I have SLi enabled dual Nvidia cards, so if that is the only issue then hopefully I am set. So far Virtualbox is rolling but still need to get all the drivers in for my rig.

[melinko2003]

Did you put the patch.dll in for book 13 and try updating again? You might not have to install. Let me hunt up what I mean.

-Mel

[melinko2003]

There are only really two places where you need to select which game you want, in the configuration (either manual or wizard) which once done shouldn't need altering and when selecting a default game or switching between which game to play. Since the whole log in, patch, etc procedures are the same having two separate launchers would be a waste of time.


Neither error is to do with the launcher, well the second one is in a way. The first is just a sound error, Ubuntus pulse and wines Alsa don't seem to play nicely (under Karmic they seem more friendly) so for LotRO & DDO it is best to set Wines sound to OSS (use winecfg), you'll lose sound in the cut scenes but that can't be helped.

The second error is because the game isn't patched, it is the game client throwing out that error. With DDO and a non Mines of Moria version of LotRO you need to find a suitable version of patchclient.dll (www.lotrolinux.com/LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2), I believe that Eberron Unlimited now has a suitable version of this file but you need to patch to get it (nice chicken & egg situation) so just drop LotROs version into your game directory and try patching.

This part specifically pertains to what issue I think you might be having mate

This part comes at the end of the PyLotro Script, you have to do it manually. There should be a menu option to patch. Get back to me on this.

-Mel

[KMSMD]

I tried the patch option yesterday I believe and couldn't get anywhere. Thats why I went to the virtualbox option to see if I can work it on XP that way.

[KMSMD]

Had the game error of 122 on XP through virtualbox. Will try once more back on Ubuntu (dling the stormreach one now) but for the launcher, does it matter if I do repository or the stand-alone version?

[KMSMD]

Just re-installed the Mod 8 version and the launcher, started the game through the launcher (after patching) and still get the good ol "You do not have the current version of the client installed". Any other suggestions?

[melinko2003]

What Method are you using to install? The script im assuming? Are you using Standard Def or High Def? You have set mode to windows 2000 in winecfg right? You have disabled high def in pylotro right?Try Updating/patching again .. there was another update a few days ago it might need to bring that one down too. Ill search there forums but its most likely that its in pylotro version or maybe even the wine version your using.

Would you be able to provide us screen shots on like flickr or something to view?

Wine version is 1.1.39, set on Windows 2000. I found the Mod8 in this forum on an earlier post, someone had a link. Of course now I am getting a new error of EO4, error accessing GLS data centre. I appreciate the help but my patience to play this game has grown thin :(

[melinko2003]

Um... They are updating currently mate - Check there site. Thats a good sign.

-Mel

[KMSMD]

Ok, so that is what the update day is (i.e. WoW). So now back to original error of not the current version. I can't patch it seems or something. Would it have to do more with have Mod8 version that I had to use to install or the launcher?

[melinko2003]

Servers are up atm - give it a shot and tell me whats up .. All I know is I was getting the same error yesterday as servers were being moved to a new datacenter on there side. From what I've seen there is no regular patching segments like WoW, they fix to add features or events.

Probably to do maint. here and there on servers too.

[KMSMD]

Back to the same game error I have gotten of "Not current version installed"

[KMSMD]

So, nothing??

OK, well thanks Mel for the attempt to get me up and running but I have given up on trying to get this game to work for me. Apparently not worth my time and trouble.

[DarkHawkPro]

So.. yay!.. another issue.. hopefully it won't beas bad..

i got DDO to work fully and install fully and update fully.. with the Crossover Office i have. now my problem is an easy one.. i can't get it to do anything good.. all the graphics are in low.. i admit, totally playable and haven't crashed on low yet, but.. i want some pretty here.. lol. i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix that.. no rush.

Wanted to add my sys specs.

Use Crossover Games instead of Crossover Office/Pro, it is aimed at gaming.

anyone getting model glitches with the new wine / ati drivers

[MightyDJ]

Hello. I would just like to confirm that with a Radeon X300 chipset that I am unable to avoid the "Hardware texture compression (error 129)" message that prevents me from playing this game. No combination of drivers (normal/bleeding-edge) that I have tried works to remove this error message.

As far as I've been googling, it seems the issue is the lack of a proprietary video driver for this particular card.

I just want to make sure I haven't forgotten to try something.

Thanks in advance.

I wish to also state that I have this exact same issue when trying to run ddo. A black scrren followed by a "Hardware texture compression (error 129)". If anyone knows of a workaround for this it would be great.

(P.S.Using Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07))

[labatts]

I am also getting the same "compression" error. Any help would be great.

Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on an asus 1005ha. (people say the game works on these netbooks, but according to the guide on winehq, Ubuntu is SOL. I am hoping for another solution).

anyone getting model glitches with the new wine / ati drivers

Is this the same as a black shroud coming and going in game? if so try omitting this from regedit direct3d in wine:

"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"

@Ajackson
Thanks a bunch for making this game playable on linux!

I am running this game on ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on a i7 with ATI 4350 HD 1gb, in 1280*1024, and i cant get the graphics higher than low... if i set it higher everything is kind of turned upside down - so 2 questions:
1) Is this the max my graphics card can support?
2) If not does anybody have any ideas on how to get better graphics? (fps seems to be just fine when on low)

EDIT: Ehm i dont know if my graphics card is X300 if it is let me know and i'll see if i can replicate the "Hardware texture compression (error 129)" error.

Hi!

i Have Ubuntu 10.04 trying to start DDO on it i did everything from "how to" i did pretty much everything from here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17785&iTestingId=50634
also combine with script from this thread,
but still have problem witch patching DDO, getting some kind of rundll32.exe error i think.

Here is error code:

Hi there.

Never tried it on 10.04. but ill give it a go.
But first i dont undestand you problem.

Is the program updated? (Did you update the program from windows and copied it to ubuntu)

Or are you trying to update it from ubuntu?

Did you set wine to run win 2000?

And with regards to the patching - Where are you patching from? inside "the lord of the rings online" loader?

- i did download ddo on windows before i went on unbuntu (that was 1day ago :) )so i used dose bin file's and installer for install DDO via wine.

- Then i have installed LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2 witch i can start via wine or stand alone and inside that PyLotro i traying to do patching witch fail every time, if i try to start DDO without patching i get msg "You dont have current version of cline installed."

- and if i go to patch it get error msg that i have posted first time ,plus pop up window witch say "The program rundll32.exe has encountered a serious problem and it needs to be closed."



Thank you.

Hi again.

What do you mean by install?

...so i used dose bin file's and installer for install DDO via wine.

I just copied the whole turbine folder to the wine c drive (In programs)

And again installed?

..Then i have installed LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2...

I just copied it (LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2 file) to the "Dungeons & Dragons Online - Stormreach" folder (in wine) - and unpacked it there. Then i renamed the "patchclient (2).dll" to pylotro or something else.

and then from the loader - I assume you are using ajacksons lord of the ring loader - go to tools->options and mark advanced options and select the "pylotro.dll" as the patch client dll...

I assume you have setup the loader correctly whit regards to the rest of the things that needs to be done in there.

and again did you switch to win 2000 in wine??

i did also copied LOTRO_EU_Bk13_PatchClient.tar.bz2 into C:\Program Files\Turbine\DDO Unlimited and renamed it to DDO_patchclient.dll

also did selected in wine win 2000.

and with all that i getting message from firs and second post.

sry if i wasnt clear enough at first time :) i save on informations :)

If that is the case then I am not sure what you problem is - BUT I dont mind spending the next hour or so helping you. (I will make a vm and try and replicate your error)

If anybody else has a simple answer please post.

EDIT: are you using 32 or 64 bit?

[ajackson]

Looking at the crash, it has updated the program files/dlls then crashed on the update for data files. That tends to point to a problem with the Visual C++ 2005 run-times (or it would with LotRO, I assume DDO now needs that installed as well).

Also you don't say what version of wine you are using, open a terminal and type

wine --version

I am still a bit (pond intended) confused though. are you trying to update the program from ubuntu/wine ? If so i recommend updating the program from windows before copying the lot to wine. I gave up tryiong to update the program from ubuntu. So for every update i have to copy the program again...

Not really for DDO, it works because it and LotRO do stuff in a very similar way but from what I've learnt there are some differences which can cause problems (both in-game and until fairly recently with patching).

Unless I have missed something you are just being modest. The way I see it is that nobody could get this game to work if it wasn't for your pylotro loader. So I think you deserve all the credit you can get! (maybe you should have a god char ingame or something ;) )

And if you dont mind clerifying this for me: Is it possible to update the program (DDO) from the pylotro loader?

i have only unbuntu not windows
so i can update only form umbuntu
only thing that left from windows system are Setup Files for DDO witch are located on other none system hard drive .

Getting LotRO working was a group effort of several people, SNy then produced a working command line launcher and I produced a GUI version, I tend to get all the praise when in truth without the initial grind working out how the login process worked and getting help from an unknown Turbine dev who opened up the patch function for us none of this would be possible. So I don't ming getting praise as long as the others who played a large part don't get ignored or forgotten.


And if you dont mind clerifying this for me: Is it possible to update the program (DDO) from the pylotro loader?
It should be, you might need to drop the patchclient.dll from LotRO in (but don't rename it), the patchclient.dll that DDO then provides does have the patching process exposed but it seems some people have been having problems since the Wine 1.2 rc releases, so that might be what is causing problems due to some odd regression. I advocate for Crossover Games so use that for LotRO, that is built on top of Wine 1.1.43 so if you can get a copy of Wine 1.1.43 you might have more joy and it would help confirm the issue is with the changes that have happened since that release.

Getting LotRO working was a group effort of several people, SNy then produced a working command line launcher and I produced a GUI version, I tend to get all the praise when in truth without the initial grind working out how the login process worked and getting help from an unknown Turbine dev who opened up the patch function for us none of this would be possible. So I don't ming getting praise as long as the others who played a large part don't get ignored or forgotten.

I guess i didn't look into this good enough. I was under the (wrong) impression that this was a one man job. Offcourse the rest of the crew deserves credit too. I will see if i can find them when i have time. (Maybe you could pass on some of the praising in the meantime... Or if any of the develepors read this you should know that your work is greatly appreciated!)


And if you dont mind clerifying this for me: Is it possible to update the program (DDO) from the pylotro loader?

It should be, you might need to drop the patchclient.dll from LotRO in (but don't rename it), the patchclient.dll that DDO then provides does have the patching process exposed but it seems some people have been having problems since the Wine 1.2 rc releases, so that might be what is causing problems due to some odd regression. I advocate for Crossover Games so use that for LotRO, that is built on top of Wine 1.1.43 so if you can get a copy of Wine 1.1.43 you might have more joy and it would help confirm the issue is with the changes that have happened since that release.

Ok. thx for clarifying that. I will look into getting it all to work under ubuntu 10.04.

@upitnik
so i cant help you that much right now but if you can update the game from windows (maybe you could install it in vmplayer) I think you can play it. But as stated i will look into it.

What Should I do? Thanks for the help.
Reading the sticky at the top helps.

Wine version, graphics card/driver, etc.

Looking at the error suggests Wine is trying to use more graphics memory than you have, did you manually set how much memory you have? If so did you enter the right amount, if not try setting how much you have as it could misreporting how much is available.

Hey. I have some knowledge on how WINE works, but I keep getting a 105 error (D3D not found). I tried to use winetricks to install the d3d9 dlls, but without a result. I even deleted the .wine directory.

Update:
I managed to fix this error by running the game in a Virtual Desktop. But, is there any way to bypass the libgsm dependency for DDO?

Hello!! Okay 'new person' with linux and wine here.

After about give or take a week of tinkering and frustration, I've finally got the game and the launcher to work. But I can't seem to get it updated.

I got my brother, who has just a little more experience than I do, and after a couple hours of tedious work, he gave up.

We are both sure we followed the 'how to' on WineHQ word for word and then some.... but it will not patch.

We have either of the following errors;

As you were told in your other thread asking the same question, you need to get a copy of patchclient.dll from LotRO or a later DDO, a link was given http://www.mediafire.com/?idnitkd5tyw and drop that into your game directory. There is no need to rename it as it will get replaced with the newest version anyway.

And I also mentioned in that thread that I used the patchclient and it *still* did not work.

I downloaded the link that you gave me and it's giving me the same 'can't find entry point.'

At this point, my guess as to what I am doing wrong is that I must be putting it in the wrong place.(Even though I put it where the old patchclient was)

I'm going to spend some more time trying to get it to work... I think that it won't either way because I've thoroughly confused myself.

The new patchclient.dll goes in the game directory, the one with dndclient.exe in it.


But you said in your post that I don't need to rename it.. so I won't try that again. (Didn't quite understand why I needed to rename it in the first place)
Because up until recently DDOs patchclient didn't have the patch function exposed, so the first thing it did was download a version of patchclient that would no longer patch (using PyLotRO).

You are using wine 1.1.38, that is a very, very old version and a lot of improvements have happened since then see http://www.winehq.org/download for how to get an up to date version for your distro.

Almost There,
After upgrading wine I was able to patch lots of files. When I ran the game it said I wasnt using the current version of the client. Went back to patch and found these few files where running into problems.

which version of Wine are you using now? open a terminal and type 'wine --version'

it should print wine-1.2-rc7

If the installation failed previously, I suggest you start right from the beginning as it may have confused itself having crashed midway.


All your application data is stored under your wine prefix which is in a folder named '.wine' in your home directory. To start fresh, you either need to move or remove this. Removing will delete all your previously installed programs in Wine.

to move: mv .wine .wine-old

With the latest version of Wine at hand, I suggest you download the latest version of the client and start installing again.

What do you mean download the latest version of the client? ddo I had to copy from a windows user because the installer dosen't work, i just upgraded wine, and pylotro I compiled from the latest source.

I assume you read the error you were getting

Failed to download files: E_ACCESSDENIED(0x80070005)

And checked the file permissions on the files in the game directory, if you have copied from Windows you could well have made the files read-only, thus when trying to overwrite you get an access denied error message.

ok have found out that pylotro does work on my system but that ddo has a problem with me. my earlier post is still not answered and i would really like to know what ddo-folks say about it. please read the attached .txt file to find out what the problem is.

could there be a problem with the fact that i am using GSM to get into the internet? would that cause ddo to not want me to connect? otherwise my system exceeds all the normal parameters needed to run the game. i am also not using an ATI video card, so i cannot really understand what is happening.

Intel cards tends to preform extremely bad under Linux, not sure about your card but mostly getting it 3D games running with a Intel card is a real pain and you usually get bad results :/

Most of the games that I've run have actually been better in linux, which I blame driconf for fixing. Knights of the Old Republic is an example.

I don't really care all too much about performance, as long as it's playable I'm good. I don't want to dual boot anymore.

Ok, great news for all Intel graphics users, there is a workaround for the game error 129 hardware texture compression was not detected. After days of banging my head against a wall I found a solution! Go into your administration => software sources => check multiverse. Now go back into administration => synaptic package manager, once there type in Driconf. Check it and allow it to install. Next open a terminal and type Driconf, a nice gui will appear. Click on the tab labeled image quality, ensure "Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not available" is clicked to yes. Then fire up DDO from pylotro and play.

So, I stumbled across this earlier today, and was excited to try it! However, once I turn on texture compression, I don't get the error, but DDO still dies after starting, e.g black screen, then end. Anyone?

Also, I'm running kubuntu 10.04 with a system that is mid range, other than the sucky graphics card.

[casacerian]

i have been reading EVERY forum about getting ddo installed and running and have done quite well, thax to the hard work of those answering the questions of us noobs. however, i have run into something that i have not been able to understand (consequently not been able to look up!) and would like your help. the following is what i get when i try to start the game (install worked, update worked and everything else too) i have uploaded it as a .txt file because it is so long. if you have any questions or need more info, just let me know and i will get it for you!

thx in advance!

I am returning to DDO on Ubuntu, and this same issue is popping up for me.

This is said error report...

Late edit. I should perhaps note some system specs.

Wine version 1.3 (latest test version)

[rotty3000]

I'd been playing ddo on 10.04 since June with no problems. Unfortunately the latest update has somehow broken it.

I used pylotro to patch it (as I always have with no problems).

I'm using a dell xps (i7-920, 1GB Nvidea), which rocks btw.

After the update I was getting the MSCVR80.DLL load error again (although I had not changed my env since june).

So, I proceeded to setup a new win prefix, and copied the installed game back to it. All in added was the "winetricks vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2005" which inited the new .wine and installed the required dlls. Lastly I set the os emulation to win2k as suggested elsewhere (although I tried others after).

Now all I get is a completely black screen with the mouse visible near the middle, but it's frozen. Oddly I can escape back to the desktop, and the app closes.

It's a shame since this had been running flawlessly for months.

Thoughts?

I had a similar issue until I installed d3dx9 and vcrun2005 using winetricks.

[taurolyon]

I'm currently having a lock-up issue where the game will lockup after a few minutes of play, then I must force-quit it to get it to close.

I'm using the Ultra-High graphics setting, which I'm about to attempt turning that down to High and see if that delays the issue.

[buzzmandt]

you need vcrun2008 vcrun2005 and d3dx9 installed through winetricks, been working great on 4 of my 4 systems. kubuntu10.10.

I also highly recomend you be on (k)ubuntu10.10. much better graphics drivers and xorg

[BeWop]

This has probably already been addressed, but I can't find anything on it.

When using the auto-install script, this happens:
Unable to find the entry point L"Patch" in L"patchclient.dll"
When I try to patch, and it doesn't patch.

After installing and patching on windows and copying it over, I can't patch and it gives this message when I try to run it:

The error r6034 (added for other users to easier find it)

Idk if you allready figured this one out but anyways here is the way to fix it:
You need to copy some files from windows (XP i guess and thats what i did.)
It is all explained here:

Hope this helps.

I also have the same problem as taurolyon (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1020146) . I did everything according to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17785 . I have done the easy set up. Windows version of the PyLotro (couldn't find the Linux version) and also installed it both ways (automatically and manually) but the game still crashes after a while. The screen freezes, it goes black and white (like the usual of a crashed ubuntu windows) the music keeps on playing normally,and in the end i have to force quit it.

What can i do about this? Any suggestions?

I think it doesn't matter but to click the buttons I have to click a little bit lower.

Thank you for your time.

[defis]

Hi there!
Is the game working fine for you?cause I have some issues.After a few minutes in the game, it stops and I have to force quit the game, otherwise nothing happens...
I use wine 1.2.2 and have done everything according to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17785 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1263191 .
Thank you very much for your time...

[taurolyon]

DX11 has been spoiling me. -_- I recently reinstalled Maverick and got the up to date kernel and ATI drivers, and will be making another attempt at this soon. With the game's next update coming out soon (Update 9), I plan to be playing this game more often.

[defis]

Ok I finally get it to play. I had to set graphics to low and very low but it's good jus like that. Now one of my friends has another problem which has already been posted but I'm not quite sure there is a solution. He tries to login, the screen turns black for a few seconds and then the game end with the usual message *finished*


Also we followed this instruction:

articanos says:

Ok, great news for all Intel graphics users, there is a workaround for the game error 129 hardware texture compression was not detected. After days of banging my head against a wall I found a solution! Go into your administration => software sources => check multiverse. Now go back into administration => synaptic package manager, once there type in Driconf. Check it and allow it to install. Next open a terminal and type Driconf, a nice gui will appear. Click on the tab labeled image quality, ensure "Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not available" is clicked to yes. Then fire up DDO from pylotro and play.

and terminal says: libGL is too old
and an error says: XDriInfo returned with non-zero code.

Any guesses would be appreciated. Thank you all...

[buzzmandt]

if it's intel graphics, install driconf

sudo apt-get install driconf
run driconf

driconf
2nd tab "image quality"
select yes to enable S3TC texture compression

With update 9 released, pylotro is refusing to update... What now?

I am running wine 1.2.2 and didn't have any problem.... I named the patchclient file from book 13 patchclient.dll and the old one patchclient_OLD.dll.

Let me know if this helps.

[Artemis3]

Weird, the update worked in another machine i have with almost identical software... Will have to investigate whats going on on the first machine.

Ok, i overwrote the newer patchclient.dll from 12/13/10 i had there with the one from book 13 again, and the patch process started, and now its working.

If this ever happens again, i'll use a different name for the file in the advanced options. I suppose my other machine had an older patchclient.dll.

BTW: I couldn't make this thing work at all with v1.2, it spitted out some silly errors about msvcr7.1 or such i didn't want to bother.

[ajackson]

it spitted out some silly errors about msvcr7.1 or such i didn't want to bother.

Well if you don't want to bother with the errors telling where the problem might be then that is fine :)

Chances are you need to make sure that Visual C++ runtimes 2005 and 2008 are installed (probably just the latter if it used to patch ok) as Turbine changed their patching mechanism (which is why an older patchclient works).

[Artemis3]

Its obviously working with 1.3.19, and i have vcrun 2003, 2005 and 2008 installed.

[Morten ML]

I now get the error i think artemis3 was talking about.

I have deleted a lot of repetetions of the same error in this post...
This error was given when i tried to update the program / patch the program from pylotro. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got the same error using the lates version of wine version 1.3 something. and after having deleted that version and going back to wine 1.2.2 i still get the same error...
Help would be really apreciated as i cannot play my game right now.
Best regards Morten

[ajackson]

Well MSVCR71.dll is part of Visual C++ Runtime 2003, which winetricks can install (it is a bit of a fudge install as there wasn't a redist for 2003). Sticking a real version of MSVCR71.dll into either the game directory or the system32 folder should fix that problem.

[Jalathas]

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, running the game in wine through pylotro 0.1.14. I've been able to get into the game, create a character, and play through the first tutorial dungeon, but now that I'm in the town, the game's been freezing on random loading screens. I also, despite having been told that the game only runs in fullscreen at default resolution, managed to crank it to fullscreen 1680x1050, which was lovely until the freeze, at which point nothing could get it OFF the screen, up to and including switching workspaces. Any idea how to stop the freezes, or at least change the settings such that I don't have to reboot when they happen?

[FrogZeke]

After digging through forums here, on the ddo forums and winehq, I have not found anyone else having this issue. When attempting interact with in-game menus, like vendor menus and quest reward selections, I am unable to double-check to make selections.

The workaround? Having someone else buy items for me and trade them to me.

Did you specify how many rams you graphic card has in regedit?
Before i did that the screen turned blackish every once in a while... hope it helps.
And @ajackson about the error: "MSVCR71.dll is part of Visual C++ Runtime 2003". INstalling vc2003 fixed my error.

[Jalathas]

Did you specify how many rams you graphic card has in regedit?
Before i did that the screen turned blackish every once in a while... hope it helps.

I hadn't, but while that improved load times, it doesn't seem to have helped any with the freezes, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

EDIT: After setting wine to emulate a virtual desktop the size of the default resolution, I've at least come to the realization that the game is actually crashing, not freezing. Rather than clogging up the screen, it goes away and reveals the window that allows me to abort it.

[buzzmandt]

been using wine 1.3 for long time. got an update for it this morning updated to 1.3.20. now it has the jumpy jitters. if i use the mouse to turn and look around moving or not, it jumps like it gets behind. using keyboard only for directionals doesn't do this.

downgraded to wine 1.2.2 and it's working fine again.

Hello!

I have a problem with DDO:

First, I have the last ubuntu version.
Second, I installed the winetricks librairies.
Third, I grabbed the MOD8 DDO version.
Fourth, I use the Pylotro launcher, and the modified patchclient.dll.

And I get an unknown win32 error 10060 while trying to patch my DDO game.

What does that means, and how do I make it go away?

Thanks!

I have used winetricks to install vcrun2005 and vcrun2008, I've patched the game using ajackson's patchclient.dll, and set graphics to 'Very Low'.

The game loads and runs so slowly that it's unplayable. I tried setting the reg key (VideoMemorySize), but the game wouldn't load at that point--so I deleted that key.

Any ideas?

Ok, I found it was a firewall problem. Now I have solved it and patched my DDO game, I can't run it because it gives me an error 105 could not initialise directX3D. It xorked before, but now it just doesn't anymore. I use the pylotro launcher, and followed the how to at http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=212618 .

Can somebody help me please?

Thanks!

Edit: It tells me that Direct3D9 is not available without openGL, whatever the hell does that means, if you need that info.

[zephar123]

Well, issue I am having I believe is 11.10 realated, but I figured I would ask jsut incase.

Ironically, If people wondering why I went to 11.10 it was because of issue in 11.04 with QT functions that 11.10 fixed :P.

err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems
err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat.
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL.

I found here though

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836927&highlight=Direct3D9+OpenGL

which makes me think its an issue with 11.10 if anyone has found a work around for this it would be much appreciated thanks in advance.

Installed everything according to the instructions on the site, but when I go to log in, I get a white screen with the following on it:

Hello!

I recently did a reinstall of Ubuntu 11.04, and DDO works about fine... Except I can't hear anyone talking on the voice chat.

I still use the Pylotro launcher, and it sends me this error (remove all the " ", because if I typed it without it it would type smilies:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:" "(snd_pcm_open_noupdate)
Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear

Can someone help me please? Thank you!

Edit: Found something about pulseaudio causing, trouble removed it, and now I got no sound at all and nothing on audio setting when playing DDO. Can someone help me?

Edit: Reinstalled pulse audio, configured a working jack server, and I'm having no sound on ddo but audio settings are visible, and new messages:

Alright, I managed to connect pulseaudio to jack server, but I have some random problems with jack server, where I suddenly can't hear anything from the voice chat. I can talk without any problem, but I cannot hear the others. Same errors for wine output. can somebody help me? Please?

Thank you in advance!

[Synoc]

I am trying to log onto DDO, but when I hit logon, it brings me to the output screen and nothing at all happens. any suggestions? this is my firs time installing and running it.

I copied the files from my windows box, did the patches. Put in account name, and password, select my server and get nothing but the output screen.

[Synoc]

ok new problem, found this...

http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=212618

used it. I downloaded the d3dx9 prefix and vcrun2005 at the same time...

it gets FURTHER now, but it now it says I need directx9 or higher installed. what am I missing?

[ergo-proxy]

Are you using pylotro to start ddo?

[Synoc]

Are you using pylotro to start ddo?

affirmative. I am not sure I have ALL the required windows dll's and prefixes. those are the only two I have (well the entire D3dx9 sectiion), but I don't have the .NET 1.1 framework, for example. but bout that cause Direct3D to not load?

[ergo-proxy]

I think d3dx9 is no longer required, at least I didnt install it on oneiric, have a look here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24233

[Synoc]

sorry it took long to get back... College has started up again. I already have the d3dx9 and the vcrun200x installed, if they are offending problems how do I remove them?

[Synoc]

been four days, so sorry, to bump, but...

bump.

[ergo-proxy]

You can try with starting the game from a new wineprefix.

[Jeek Elemental]

Easy way to start "fresh" is to rename your .wine (to .winebak or something), run winecfg, then copy/move ddo from .winebak to .wine

When you have it set up its a good idea to rename it again and use WINEPREFIX to run it, to keep it separate from any other things you run with wine.

As of wine 1.3.37 I don't think any native .dlls or settings are required.

[Synoc]

so IF I did this right, I did a "mv .wine/ winebak" then mv winebak/c_drive/Program\ Files/DDO/ ./wine/c_drive/Program| Files/" and reinstall the pylotro.exe, retrain it, then I should be good to go?

cause I tried it, it didn't work, same problem

[Jeek Elemental]

check:
working opengl setup (numerous guides on web)

wine --version is 1.3.37 or newer (there is a ppa available at www.winehq.org)

ddo client updated (do update from menu in pylotro, ddo will stop at loading screen if wrong client version)

Also might be worth deleting /home/you/Dungeons and Dragons Online/userpreferences.ini

ok I went to
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started#Linux
and took a look, it in turn sent me to
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
if I am understanding this correctly it is either asking met o install new video drivers or new extensions for my current drivers. In either case what are the chances it will make my graphics system unstable? Or am I misreading what I am looking at?

and I am using the latest wine (1.3.37) and the current pylotro. If it matters, I installed the windows exe one as opposed to the linux one in an attempt to keep my Linux and my Windows apps completely separate. I was under the impression from the how-to guide on the pylotro site it doesn't matter, but that information could be old.

[Jeek Elemental]

wine pylotro should be fine.

Regarding drivers, the situation is that there are 2 options currently:
open source but lacking features: nouveau
closed but full featured: nvidia

Odds are you need the nvidia driver for ddo.

You can get both through ubuntus package system, theres also a special (don't ask me why) program for "activating" closed drivers (called additional hardware or close in your menu).
Theres a massive amount of information on this with some googling.

[Synoc]

I am using the nvidia drivers. why is it not recognizing my my direct3d, it shows up in the wine registry, These are my settings, is THIS the problem?


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="OpenGL"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="readdraw"
"UseGLSL"="disabled"
"VideoMemorySize"="256"

[Jeek Elemental]

I am using the nvidia drivers. why is it not recognizing my my direct3d, it shows up in the wine registry, These are my settings, is THIS the problem?


None of those settings should stop it from running, however they should not be needed either. The Direct3D key is empty in a clean .wine and that should be your start point.
From a clean .wine created by winecfg, no installs or settings should be needed except the game itself, ie don't install directx or anything.

[Synoc]

I am about to give up on using Linux to play it. after a two weeks I'm getting no where. I have followed every guide I've ever seen, they are all the same, more or less, and all lead me right here.

I started with a clean .wine. copied over the DDO files from my windows partition, installed pylotro, updated DDO, installed winetricks, downloaded d3dx9, vcrun2003-8 according to appdb. and I then failed to get it to run. Direct3D is not installed etc... where is my problem?

Don't install anything from winetricks..

[Synoc]

so wipe everything (again), clean wine install (again) copy DDO folder (again), reinstalled pylotro (again), point it at the DDO folder (again). and play until I puke?

do I need the registry entry at all?

[Synoc]

ok took the ddo folder out of it's home in .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ and threw it in the winebak folder...

rm -r /wine

winecfg

placed the registry file back in regedit

put the DDo folder BACK in .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

reinstalled pylotro

pointed it at DDO

same error.

[Synoc]

and bump one last time before I give it up

[Jeek Elemental]

rm -r /wine
winecfg

reinstalled pylotro
pointed it at DDO
same error.

What registry file? Just running DDO does not require any registry settings, its (if I remember) just a version string for the turbine updater, which we don't use.

Did you try deleting userpreferences.ini? This will trigger autodetection from the game.

The error is still that DDO can't find a direct3d device?
Try running another 3d game/demo in the same prefix.

deleted userpreferences.ini (I didn't set them in the first place, however. no effect. should I jsut delete the entire direct3D folder in the registry?

I was considering using playonlinux to install LotRO and seeing if the mere act of setting that up would enable DDO to work... haven't tried yet as I am not familiar with PlayOnLinux.

Starting from a clean .wine there should be no direct3d key at all...Do not import, install or change anything, only copy in ddo/pylotro.

If it still fails you must test your opengl setup with some other demo/game.
I'm sure playonlinux etc. is great, but it won't work if your 3d is not set up.

[Synoc]

just for S&G's since I have wipe out wine more times than I can count, I uninstalled it and reinstalled the whole thing. I'm back at wine1.2.3 since the beta version didn't help me with anything

what other programs use opengl so I can set my set up? that won't cost me anything?

[Jeek Elemental]

For old wine versions you'll have to check appdb for settings needed.
There are many guides on 3d setup a google away, extremetuxracer is a linux-native 3d accelerated game you can get from your package manager.

extremetuxracer works fine.

updated to wine 1.3.37

JUST moved the files from my winebak folder (where I store them after every wine wipe).

what is next to test?

this is off appdb
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24407

[Jeek Elemental]

Try running it then, it should be good now.
Run it from a terminal so you can catch any error messages.
Make sure the client is updated, output (from within pylotro) should be something like

The first (qt) errors are from pylotro and can be ignored, the xrandr ones would seem to be key.

I'm not at all familiar with nvidia, I would look into if its a known driver issue or possibly wrong info from your monitor.

What you can try tho is running ddo in window mode, change


FullScreen=True
to

FullScreen=False

in userpreferences.ini

Alternatively (or together) set "emulate a virtual desktop" in winecfg, and set the resolution there to your normal desktop one.

From within ddo you can check what fullscreen resolutions are available to it, if it looks ok there you should be set.

Try running it then, it should be good now.
Run it from a terminal so you can catch any error messages.
Make sure the client is updated, output (from within pylotro) should be something like

I have played DDO in past and loved it, but I am no longer able to play it on my windows os. That said, it has been one of my hopes since installing Ubuntu to get this game running; I miss it so much! Despite multiple attempts, I have been unsuccessful as of yet.

I have managed to get this far; this thread has been very helpful. I can't seem to get DDO to actually start though. I keep getting the "finished" message whenever I go through the server select/account login; it's as if it runs the patch instead of the game. I had this problem last time I installed DDO successfully on Ubuntu; it's the farthest I've ever gotten. I still need to try changing the windows version of wine to 2000, but if that doesn't work, what next? I think it might be my unfamiliarity with the new PyLotro launcher, but there's a good chance there's something else I'm overlooking elsewhere.

[Jeek Elemental]

Which Wine version are you using?
Type "wine --version" in a terminal.

If its < 1.3.37 go to http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
and follow the instructions there, remember to actually update wine after adding the repo.

It appears I was using Wine 1.3.28
I think I'll re-install PlayOnLinux so I can fine-tune wine versions with greater ease.

I think my main issue in past has been space; my Ubuntu partition was no more than 10GB at best until I found some unnecessary iso files I left on my Windows partition. Now that I have a 32GB Ubuntu disk, I can install DDO no problem.

So, is the wine version likely the only remaining issue, or could something else be wrong? I suppose I'll get to that once I've done this other.

[Jeek Elemental]

1.3.28 would require some native dlls if I remember, which if not there would cause DDO to halt as you described.

Checklist:

-DDO installed in clean .wine/ (no added registry settings)
-pylotro installed and set up (wizard in menu), either linux or windows version
-DDO updated through pylotro (ddo hangs at loading screen if version mismatch)
-OpenGL support, proprietary ATI or Nvidia drivers needed (I think). Hw demands are very modest.
-Wine version 1.3.37 or later

These are the basic requirements, run wine pylotro.exe from a terminal to catch error messages and post here if not working.

I want to do this with the latest 1.3 wine using PlayOnLinux to run both the launcher and DDO.
I have PlyOnLinux installed, and I'm commencing a fresh install of DDO and PyLotoro launcher.
I am using (in PlayOnLinux) Wine 1.3.37, and I set the windows version to 2000 as the WineHQ page recommends.
I need to know where I need to place the pylotro files in relation to the DDO ones so the launcher recognizes the game.
I'll let you know how this works. . .
Thank you for your help thus far!
Any additional pointers would be appreciated!

[Jeek Elemental]

I am not familiar with playonlinux, if it interferes with wine in any way you should probably ask in a dedicated forum.
The appdb items are out of date.

Are you using linux or windows pylotro?
Just place the (windows) pylotro dir in the same dir as ddo, I believe it searches C:\Program Files\ at the very least, maybe even from c:\.

Note that you can't "run both the launcher and DDO" as you say, the launcher will run ddo with the obtained login string.

I'm using Windows pylotro. Thank you for the comment about pylotro's directory search for ddo; that will help immensely. Let's see how this goes!

[njrob]

I have forgone the use of PlayOnLinux, and I'm going to use wine 1.3.28

What dll's or other such file would I need to put together for the launcher to work?

[Jeek Elemental]

I would recommend updating wine, by far the easiest way.
If you must keep .28 then your best bet is to use the instructions on appdb for that version, like
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24407
Get Winetricks from your package manager to install the necessary dlls. Possibly you'll need a dll from lotro to update, not sure how that played out.

Note that even though you use the old wine version, the ddo client has been updated many times since then, so theres no guarantee you will get the same results.

How exactly do I update wine to a specific version?
The Software Center listings are only as specific as: 1.3
It doesn't list which version completely like: 1.3.??

When I do find out how to update, will updating Wine require me to wipe my Wine folders?

[Jeek Elemental]

http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
Follow the instructions there, and you get the latest beta through software center/update manager afterwards.

Package is still called wine1.3 although its at 1.4.xx now.

No need to wipe anything, wine will update old prefixes first time you use them.

Thanks; in the process of updating wine now, using the terminal.
I hope this helps!

I'm also looking for an Ubuntu/Wine friendly download of the LOTRO free client as a Plan B if the DDO-PyLotro combo fails. Anyplace you could point me to? Probably a WineHQ page somewhere, right?

This "login string," is it what I'm missing?

I have followed all of the most instructions for getting this to work, but it still isn't quite there yet.

It's probably my Graphics settings. Any tips on how to configure and maximize graphics performance?

[Jeek Elemental]

No, that is what pylotro does for you, among other things.
When you log in with pylotro it gets back an authentication string from the ddo server, and then starts ddo with that string as an argument.

You must run the settings wizard in the tools menu of pylotro.

Lotro is basically the same engine.

Go through the checklist in earlier post, run pylotro from terminal and post any error messages here.

[njrob]

The first (qt) errors are from pylotro and can be ignored, the xrandr ones would seem to be key.

I'm not at all familiar with nvidia, I would look into if its a known driver issue or possibly wrong info from your monitor.

What you can try tho is running ddo in window mode, change


FullScreen=True
to

FullScreen=False

in userpreferences.ini

Alternatively (or together) set "emulate a virtual desktop" in winecfg, and set the resolution there to your normal desktop one.

From within ddo you can check what fullscreen resolutions are available to it, if it looks ok there you should be set.

I can't find the "userpreferencesw.ini" file; is it something I need to add to my installation, or is there a specific place where I might have missed it?

[Jeek Elemental]

Default path is
/home/$user/Dungeons and Dragons Online/UserPreferences.ini

with $user being your username.

However ddo will create those directories and files when run first time, so you may not have them yet.

Exactly what happens when you run it?

I run pylotro, (not in terminal) and it pops up with the patch window displaying "finished" instead of starting a game display. I can't get DDO to even run, (using pylotro).

Which driver are you using? You'll need proprietary drivers from ati or nvidia for the time being, these are not installed by default in ubuntu.

I am using a Dell Latitude | D810. The screen has been replaced before, but that shouldn't be affecting this issue, since it seems to be a software problem, (I sincerely hope so). I have downloaded the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 driver that matches my Dell from the Dell "Drivers and Downloads" site. I extracted it to my wine drive_c, but none of the several "setup.exe" files will install anything.

I have tried using the proprietary drivers program Ubuntu has in System Settings before, but it never detects anything.

Does the ATI driver need special treatment in Wine, or is it impossible to run Windows drivers in Wine to begin with?

Sorry for this endless stream of questions; I thank you for your patience and the help you've been giving me.:D

But as for the driver. . .?:confused:

[njrob]

It appears I already have some sort of ATI package added in the Software Center, but I don't know if it can fill in for what DDO requires.

[njrob]

Another quick thought: do I need to install only one of the two kinds of drivers? I mean, if I have a Dell, and it usually uses ATI, does that make it so that nividia won't work?

[njrob]

Okay, I looked closer at my ATI driver in the Software center and I'm currently adding the latest add-on for the AMD Radeon Graphics accellerators. I [I]think[I] that this driver includes coverage for my system, but I may be wrong. It has helped me with my everyday display needs, but could it be insufficient for DDO?


Checklist:

-DDO installed in clean .wine/ (no added registry settings)
-pylotro installed and set up (wizard in menu), either linux or windows version
-DDO updated through pylotro (ddo hangs at loading screen if version mismatch)
-OpenGL support, proprietary ATI or Nvidia drivers needed (I think). Hw demands are very modest.
-Wine version 1.3.37 or later

These are the basic requirements, run wine pylotro.exe from a terminal to catch error messages and post here if not working.

When you say DDO's graphics demands are, "modest," do you mean that DDO is easy or hard to please when it comes to graphics support? Man, I must be really missing the mark if it's supposed to be simple!

[Jeek Elemental]

Maybe it helps to think of wine as a big switchboard, when a windows exe asks for a function, wine plugs in the equivalent linux function and conjugglifies any differences (what? its a perfectly cromulent word.)

So you don't need windows drivers, but must have opengl capable driver on linux side.

Sadly that is non-trivial for x300 as fglrx (ati's driver) does not support it anymore.
You can try the "Additional Drivers" program, maybe its able to get an old ati driver.

There are numerous guides and threads on that subject tho.


Another quick thought: do I need to install only one of the two kinds of drivers? I mean, if I have a Dell, and it usually uses ATI, does that make it so that nividia won't work?

[njrob]

So that means I just need to find a linux/Ubuntu based ATI driver that supports my graphics card? The Dell Latitude D810 actually uses Mobility Radeon X600, but the Dell site said I could use X300; is X600 still not covered by the driver I have?

[Jeek Elemental]

The problem is this: ati stopped supporting older cards a while back, so the official fglrx driver won't recognize your card (neither x300 or x600).

The open source driver (which you are probably using now) does not have full opengl support yet.

Its possible you could use an old driver (and old x.org that matches) but it would be non-trivial and way beyond this thread.

Thank you for your help! I will post again once I am finished with the driver issue.

[njrob]

I know this isn't exactly the place for it but, Jeek, I can't be sure my personal messages got to you, so I need to use this as a failsafe method of getting through.

I tried to install emgd to provid OpenGL support for DDO in Wine, but I seem to have turned my Ubuntu booting upsidedown. I can't get to the login screen or desktop. there is an error with the system configuration,=; something about a "command already being sent"
I tried removing emgd, but the system can't find the files. the desktop managers; all the ones available to me, don't work completely; they stop at the loading screen with the orange dots underneath the name Ubuntu.

Well, what's your diagnosis? I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu if I don't have to, but I don't know how far in over my head this situation is. Where do I go?

[njrob]

Okay, I'm back on my own computer again; I had an old root disk from my last Wubi-resize that I hadn't deleted (Thank Goodness!)

I need to do the risize over again, and maybe the installation, but now I know what to do and to be more careful!

[njrob]

Now, back to business!

I am making a new 32GB root.disk now, and will then commence reinstalling DDO and pylotro, (I have already updated to Wine1.3.37).

Once all is as it had been before the emgd crisis, I will need to have a plan for how to provide OpenGL support. Can I use the nvidia driver even though I have an ATI GPU? If it must be ATI software to be compatible, would I find directions for that on the Forum(s) here? If so which?

[njrob]

Hi, I'm back.

I am still working on configuring my OpenGL drivers I just installed; they don't exactly have a gui, (yet), and I am trying to figure out how they work.

I wanted to ask about pylotro's needs again. With wine 1.3.37, do I still need to get the updated patchclient.dll to run DDO, or is it included in the Mod8 installation?
I could be reading this situation wrong, and it's pylotro that's using the patch-client.dll; I'm just not certain where to go from where I'm at:

- DDO is installed.
- pylotro is installed (windows standalone version in Wine).
- Installed(ish?) OpenGL support software for r600 graphics card.
- Using Ubuntu 11.10 with Wine 1.3.37

Running Status: PyLotro window displays, and the DDO installation is recognized. However, when I "log in" with my account name and password, (in the realm/server selection field), the window that usually displays when activating pylotro's "patch" function is displayed, and skips directly to the message "finished."

[Jeek Elemental]

No .dlls are needed.

Have a look at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1824881

and maybe try asking in that forum.

[Puddinhead]

I've been running DDO on Linux for about 2 years now. I'm running Linux Mint 11 on a Lenovo Think Pad W520. If you can't get ths figured out let me know. I've found it helpful to have a Windows Virtual Machine handy because the pylotro updater breaks every once in a while so I do the update on the Windows Virtual machine and copy the files to my Linux box.

Let me know if you need help, or hit me up on Thelanis if you manage to get everything working.

Any ideas why it is doing this and if there is a way to fix it. I've been able to patch it successfully for a while now. Don't know why it's doing it now.

[Jeek Elemental]

It patched fine here, I see you're using the lotro patch dll tho, try switch back to the original one (patchclient.dll).

Far as I know, the lotro .dll was a workaround that is no longer needed and may be the problem.


Hi, Update 13 just came out and now that tried to patch DDO it starts giving me these errors:

rundll32.exe patchclientlotro.dll,Patch patch.ddo.com:80 --language English --productcode DDO --filesonly
Connecting to patch.ddo.com:80

[skulkruncher]

Thank you for the reply. I will try using the old one and hope I get a better result

[skulkruncher]

Using the regular patchclient.dll gave me this:

rundll32.exe patchclient.dll,Patch patch.ddo.com:80 --language English --productcode DDO --filesonly

Using the regular patchclient.dll gave me this:

Are you using any native .dlls?
I assume you're using the linux version of the launcher, maybe worth trying the windows one instead, as that is working here.

[skulkruncher]

I'm not sure which are the native dlls in my ddo files, havent messed with them in a while. Before, all the other patches went fine until this one so I'm getting bummed out its on this one. Also, do you mean for me to use the dndlauncher.exe?

[skulkruncher]

Thinking back, I remember I switched out the patchclient.dll with the one I downloaded from the winehq page; might have messed up and used the one that isn't original when I tried the second time. Not sure where the original is now....

[Jeek Elemental]

By native .dlls I mean windows own dlls as opposed to wine ones. You can check in winecfg under libraries if you are using any.

As for launcher, pylotro comes in 2 flavours, one runs natively in linux and then launches wine+ddo, other runs as a windows exe in the same .wine as ddo.

Which wine version are you using? (type "wine --version" in a terminal).

Im using wine 1.2.2

Where can I find the windows version of pylotro so I can check if it works.

[Jeek Elemental]

http://www.lotrolinux.com/download.php

If no good, check the first page of this thread and follow the steps there (upgrading wine).
Rename your old .wine to .wineold, run winecfg, then move your ddo dir to the newly made .wine and it should work.

[skulkruncher]

Thanks for the help I'll see if I can make it work with these steps. Same thing happens with the window version so I'll try upgrading wine tomorrow.

[skulkruncher]

Got it to work! :D Finished patching and I logged in. Game works good.

Hi, I'm back!

I installed the latest DDO on a friend's computer and transferred the files to my Ubuntu. It runs fine in Wine, but the graphics remain an issue. The 3d Acceleration seems to be the only issue now, and I'm seeking help for that elsewhere, but I wanted to give an update on how the help from this thread was working. Thank you all very much for you help! I'm almost there! Please let me know if there is anything I may find helpful to tweak in DDO to help with graphics performance. It's really slow, choppy, laggy you name it! I can't move hardly at all, and even the menu takes minutes to click on something, (not to mention copious amounts of patience!). But, it does run, so I am excited about that success!

[Jeek Elemental]

You can try setting all graphic options to off/minimal in ddo, then upping one at a time to see if theres one in particular that impacts performance.

Also, if using a 3d accelerated desktop it may be worth switching to 2d before running games.

It may run better inside quests than in town, as all the people running around trigger lots of loading and memory usage.

Thank you; I will try that.

I can't seem to get past Shipwreck shore on my new character; the movement wasn't working, but that might have been the network latency. Thank you thank you for the advice! Very helpful.

I have pretty much everything set as low as possible without turning everything into a blob in the fog. I also am using the plain, "no frills" gnome desktop environment, and despite my dislike for it it seems to have helped a little with loading screen duration and a small amount of lag in the menus and game environment.
Despite all this, I have found that when I do enter the game, it allows me to do everything, (with an expected delay of course), EXCEPT moving my character forward and backward. I can rotate my character, but it is so slow that I sometimes forget which direction I told it to rotate, and I'm somewhat suspicious that it went the wrong way! I asked a friend here at school who is a little into Linux, and he said to try using something called "Can You Run It?" I tried to use it, but I need a Java update that I can't seem to install properly.
One of the main things I think may be affecting the performance is my incomplete updates to my Graphics drivers. My update manager shows one update every time it opens, but the check-box can't be clicked; I don't know why. I think it's an important update related to my graphics software, so any advice to point me towards an appropriate forum thread for these issues would be much appreciated. Sorry if I went a little off topic from the context of DDO, but I though Jeek Elemental might want to know how our efforts together have been developing, and I trust he might have good pointers for me. Thanks pal! I owe you one for even getting this installed!

[Jeek Elemental]

type


glxinfo |grep direct


in a terminal and verify that it says "direct rendering: yes"

Switch off any antialiasing, both in the settings program for your card and inside ddo (below screenmode if I remember). You can try a lower screenmode aswell.

Run ddo from a terminal and check the log there after exiting ddo if theres any juicy error messages.

How do I run ddo in a terminal? I can't seem to figure out how to ask it to run a file at the command line level.

[buzzmandt]

From command line terminal
pylotro

[njrob]

neal@ubuntu:~$ pylotro

neal@ubuntu:~$ sudo pylotro

I'm not sure I'm doing this right at all! lol

[Jeek Elemental]

You are probably using the windows version of pylotro, which is fine.
Note that you should never run wine as super user, it won't help anything and can really make a mess of things.

If your ddo install is in the default .wine directory just cd to there:


cd /home/$user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/PyLotRO

Change this to your actual path.
Then run


wine pylotro.exe

If you have a separate directory for ddo, you must tell wine to use that:


WINEPREFIX=/home/$user/.yourddodir wine pylotro.exe





neal@ubuntu:~$ pylotro
pylotro: command not found
neal@ubuntu:~$ sudo pylotro
[sudo] password for neal:
sudo: pylotro: command not found
neal@ubuntu:~$

[buzzmandt]

Hmmm, interesting, i just installed and ran the windows version of pylotro. once installed i clicked on it and it would not work. however running it from command line worked and anyway i ran it from that point on worked (clicked or shortcutted from desktop). But for some reason had to run it from command line first. cd'd into the directory and the ran wine pylotro.exe.

for me this is:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/PyLotRO
wine pylotro.exe

[njrob]

Okay, thanks to the help you guys gave me, I ran pylotro in a terminal, and I copied the code before exiting.

[buzzmandt]

just checking for sure,
You do have proprietary video drivers installed, yes?
you also ran the following in a terminal (or something close to it)

winetricks d3dx9 vcrun200{3,5,8}

and i looked throught this massive thread but couldn't find your computer specs, graphics card, ram, and cpu to be specific.

This sticks out, it was an issue in wine 1.4rc1 it seems.
Which version are you running now?

[Jeek Elemental]

No winetricks needed anymore, if using up to date wine (>1.337 approximately).

That is awesome. Thank u for this information

[njrob]

Kk, I checked my Wine version, and it is up to date. I have something that isn't updating or upgrading or whatever when I run 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. I'm not sure if it's related or not, but my update manager window also shows one Xorg driver update that I can't click the checkbox on, and I think it might be cramping my graphics performance. Any sage advice with this added information? Thanks so much for your patience and support!

[Jeek Elemental]

Hard to say, you could try using the Synaptic package manager instead, maybe it gives more information on what the problem is.
Theres also a "repair broken packages" option there you can try.

I installed Synaptic, and fiddled a little with my driver packages and such. I think what I've discovered is that I am missing a dependency for at least one of the driver programs that may be affecting DDO's performance, but I don't know what package contains the specific dependency I'm missing. The Synaptic error message kept telling me that to upgrade the Openchrome driver package, I needed a missing dependency for it called xorg-video-abi-10, or something like that. It's too foreign for me to understand exactly what's wrong, but what I've done seems to have made Tuc Racer perform a bit more smoothly. I guess I'll just need to wait for more updates from Xorg-Edgers or find out if the network latency in DDO is caused by something else. Thoughts & suggestions?

[Jeek Elemental]

Synaptic (and update manager) will pull in any dependencies IF it is available.
This is getting far away from DDO tho, I think to keep the thread useful for others we should stop here.

Feel free to pm me and I can google abit for you, include the output from the following commands please:
lspci
glxinfo (top 10 lines)
wine --version
dmesg

I am having no problems with making the os take the appropriate changes to run the game. I am however having an issue with finding "ajackson-public.key" because lotrolinux seems to have breached TOS with his host or something else causing his links to be dead. If anyone has an ftp, link, copy to email me, or some other solution please let me know! Much appreciated in advance.

[Jeek Elemental]

I see lotrolinux.com is expired, maybe he forgot to renew or something.
Give it a couple days to see if it pops up again, not seen any posts by ajackson so hopefully nothing serious.

[buzzmandt]

here's a link to a windows version: http://www.mcgillsociety.org/PyLotRO/index.html#PYLOTRO which also works in playonlinux/ddo nicely

Thanks buzzmandt, putting link in first post, not sure whats going on with lotrolinux.com

I'm having problems with Pylotro. I installed it from the ppa this morning, following the instructions at winehq. I set the path to the game directory, but it seems to have trouble with a space in the path. The Wine output screen reads:


Argument 'Unlimited/client_local_English' unknown

The path name includes "DDO Unlimited", and this seems to be where the problem is.

I tried going into the path and adding the backslashes (or forward slashes --- I can never keep the names straight) as escape characters, but then pylotro can't find the game directory at all.

I did find a reference to this exact problem in another post (a very, very long Lord of the Rings Online topic), but no solution was suggested.

I've also tried the Windows version of Pylotro, but it just hangs at a blank output screen.

Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated.

Wine version 1.4
(K)ubuntu 12.04 x64
Python version 2.73

[Jeek Elemental]

Not sure what the problem is, the path is correct or it wouldn't find the ddo .exe, which the error message suggests it does.

Is it in a clean .wine dir? Windows version of pylotro should run.
You could try moving ddo, and run it through the Z: drive.

[sabersong]

The windows version of pylotro did eventually start working, and I got into the game. No idea why.

[Synoc]

Yesterday, I tried to log onto DDO, worked fine except I couldn't connect to the server after logging into my account (using PyLotRO). So figuring I needed an update, I proceeded to patch. I was right, it did need a patch, except now, since the patch has finished, the DDO client crashes. included is the entire "serious problem" error

System information:
Wine build: wine-1.4
Platform: i386
Host system: Linux
Host version: 2.6.35-32-generic-pae

once again, before patch it worked (well I got further), after the patch, I get a crash.

[Jeek Elemental]

Yes it happened to everyone, its a known bug(ish) in wine versions <1.5.15 that the ddo patch exposed.
Upgrade to latest wine and it should be fine (see op).

[Synoc]

added the wine ppa. but I can't install wine1.5

could not find any package by regex 'wine1.5'

[Jeek Elemental]

Strange, did you reload package list after adding repo?
Its actually 1.5.18 now but the pack is called wine1.5.

If you use synaptic try the origin view and check that packages are pulled from ubuntu-wine/ppa (shows as LP-PPA-ubuntu-wine/precise in origin, if you use precise ofcourse).

[Synoc]

installed is:

wine 1.3 (which is 1.4-0ubuntu1 installed) wine1.3-gecko, winetricks, ttf-symbol-replacement-wine, and wine (1.2.3-0ubuntu1 installed)

incidently, I have this same problem on 10.10 and 10.04 and wine 1.4 OR wine 1.5 is not an option

[Jeek Elemental]

Support for older ubuntus is spotty from the ppa, check here:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

You can always compile it yourself, its not hard and plenty of guides available!

[Synoc]

my luck with compiling anything has been horrid to say the least. and if I'm not going to be able to get support going forth it hardly seems worth it to put forth the effort. 10.04 is still a supported OS for a few more months if it's not getting support now from the ppa I might as well scrap it all until I find out which OS I'm going to have to upgrade to. Unity/Gnome3 aren't even in the running for DEs and only mate even stands a chance. But how does using basically gnome 2 affect wine if gnome 2 for all intents and purposes is now defunct?

[Jeek Elemental]

Well give it a try:
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#compile_wine
Run it from the dir you compiled in instead of doing "make install" and it won't interfere with package systems wine.

As for desktop environment I think its better to discuss elsewhere, you have lots of choices tho.

[Synoc]

well the
sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3
doesn't work (step one)it gets worse from there.

./configure
I assume works

make
does not.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop
and
sudo make install
doesn't work.

./tools/wineinstall fails because I don't have flex, I install flex and it says I don't have bison, I install bison and get further before it fails it says I don't have X... which is ironic since I am using it from my terminal window in gnome 2... that's when I gave up

[Synoc]

upgraded to 12.04... Gave up on trying to get DDO to work on 10.10 or even 10.04. After updating to 12.04 it is working. upon reflection, I might have been able to simply change the ubuntu version INSIDE the PPA to say "precise" and it would have worked. Since the wine PPA doesn't offer updates for 10.10 or 10.04 anymore. I may yet try this on my other system just to find out what happens.

i have installed ddo on the acer c7 chromebook hoping to be able to play it but when i try to play it through the pylotro it comes up with this "Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x00000030 in 32-bit code (0x00674b92)." anybody can help?

Quick look at c7 specs, I don't think it will be able to run ddo I'm afraid. You need an amd or nvidia 3d part realistically, with their driver.

[DDalton1977]

Help. I did what you guys said but it lead me to a site that was written in some type of.........Asian language.

The lotrolinux.com site is discontinued but you can find the launcher program still at https://github.com/Lynx3d/pylotro
