Sacred Underworld

[oVIXx]

Has anyone gotten Sacred Underworld to work? I've been trying since Wine 0.9.28 but no luck. It installs fine and launches good, because of the latest game patch (2.28) doesn't require a game cd to play sacred anymore, so no need for game loader hax. But as soon and the graphic for loading the game comes up, it crashes. I tried launching it from the terminal instead of the menu shortcut, and I got a big list of errors. Can anyone help me interpret this message or give me some useful advice on how they got it to work. The message is....

Thats a lot of messages, I don't know which is bad or keeping sacred from launching correctly.
Any suggestion? Thanx in advance.

wait for sacred 2 and dual boot windows and linux

[Gannin]

I would say your best bet at this point is just to post a bug with Wine about the game.

timjayko: wait for sacred 2 and dual boot windows and linux

That's it? Thats your reply? People post here to find answers to questions, better not to bother posting than write something like that. What you posted is not even a well thought out post.

Fist off, I already CAN dual boot os's, no need for that having 3 rigs.

Secondly, Sacred won the buggiest game EVER award. Four years after the initial release and using an expansion pack as a patch (which is just bad business) and it's still riddled full of glitches and bugs. So that leaves Sacred 2 out of the question, too many better made games out there.

You see it's an experiment for experience, I want to try and get the game to run on Ubuntu using Wine, I already have it running on Win 2K.


Gannin: I would say your best bet at this point is just to post a bug with Wine about the game.

I tried that one before posting here, but to no avail. Not even one reply on the app db post for Sacred Underworld.:( But after a few weeks of reading and searching I've found a potential problem lying with my video card. That particular rig has a cheapo MSI MX440 SE video card, which I'm finding out is notorious for not working even as good as a Geo 3 series card. It has something to do with how it loads the graphics system, or lack thereof. I'll try loading up Sacred again when I get around to swapping out the video card. If anything changes I'll re-post.

Sorry the game doesn't work in wine.

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1898

Every review for every version is labeled as garbage.

You will need to dual boot unless you find another solution, wine isn't it.

[Gannin]

When I mentioned posting a bug about it, I didn't mean in their application database. They have a bugzilla bug tracker system, and that's where the bug should go.

I know it's an old post, but I figure I'd post anyways just in case its useful to someone.

I did some digging today and discovered some posts on the german ubuntu forums describing the game would run fine when wine was in windowed mode, but not when wine was fullscreen. (Something to do with widescreen resolutions blowing up the game I assume.)

Using windowed mode, the game auto sets itself to 1024x768 or 800x600 as appropriate. In wine FullScreen mode it just explodes - unless I set my desktop resolution to 1024x768.

I manually modified my xorg.conf to handle 1680x1050 and 1024x768 (laptop, so I use twinView and flat panel). Then wrote a shell script to launch the game.



#!/bin/bash

xrandr -s 1024x768
sleep 2

#wine command goes here

xrandr -s 1680x1050


Running the script will set the resolution to the games default, run the game, then switch back to whatever you use by default (1680x1050 in my case) after you're done.

Seems to work perfectly for me now. You could try out various resolutions as well. If my assumption about it being wide screen exploding the game is correct, perhaps you can do higher resolutions as long as they are the correct ratio.

Works fine for me using Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.1.7, and Sacred Gold 2.28. I know Sacred 2 is coming out soon, but I figured I'd explore sacred 1 before 2 comes out.
