Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Tried to réinstall it and now it seems worst... When the install finished I cliked "PLay" but it froze there. After I tried to relaunch it but it says updating tools and stays at 0%.

In the tests results from the wine appdb a guy got it working on Arch with "Wine vanilla 1.5.4 from repos".

I looked at the repos and I can't find anything about Wine vanilla, nor in the AUR.

Have an idea what it may be?

Thanks

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Vanilla usually means "unmodified." So he was probably saying that he used the default install (pacman -S wine, or whatever) rather than the AUR wine-diablo install.

Lol thanks!

I still am a happy newbie apparently... more to learn is more fun with Linux anyways!

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

That looks like it's building as 64bit, you should generally build Wine as 32bit unless something's changed since I last manually compiled it.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

it seems to be going ok according to PKGBUILD of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58739
os is recognized as x86. 64bit version is able to build fine. just 32bit fails for some reason.
both versions of libtiff are installed. I'm kinda out of ideas hmm

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

I'm using PlayOnLinux to run Diablo 3 (as it worked just fine when I ran it on Ubuntu 12.04), but once I get to the log in screen it says there is a patch, takes me back to the launcher which says it's up-to-date, ad infinitum. Seems to be a similar issue to what johnride was experiencing? Any ideas on how to fix it? 'Vanilla' wine is a no-go

I didn't have much luck with vanilla Wine, but then it's usually advisable to check the appdb first. The relevant entry is here. Be sure to read it periodically as patches come out, or use Google.

It works just fine with the git version of wine with the patches applied (git apply makes things easy!). The launcher crashes about 30 seconds after you get to the title screen generating a pop-up, but it's not much of an issue.

I get about 60 FPS on my hardware (NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450, Phenom II 1090T, way more RAM than I'm willing to admit). The game stutters slightly when first loading mesh animations, textures, and maps, but is otherwise about as smooth as in Windows with everything but ground clutter turned up.

I seem have the best luck running it on its own desktop. This may work for vanilla wine--try it first before patching/building wine--although you will need to have a fully updated copy of Diablo with all of the associated patches copied over from Windows:

$ cd ~/build/wine
$ ./wine explorer /desktop=3,1920x1080 /misc/games/Diablo\ III/Diablo\ III\ Launcher.exe

Also, it might be necessary to remove your ~/.wine directory and use winetricks to install vcrun2008 and possibly d3dx9/d3dx9_43 and/or dsound. See the appdb comments for specific libraries if the patches don't work.

Someone over at PlayOnLinux found a missing dependency.

I am a guy likes to work, play a bit, work more, play a bit again, etc... Rebooting to another OS every time for a little relaxation in between is a way too large context switch. Way better is to leave your stuff open, and launch the game to play it, when done close it, and continue working.

So yes, dual booting is difficult if it involves closing and reopening everything.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Game's working great, just started a Barbarian.

http://www.meyithi.com/graphics/d3.png

Built wine with the aur package, used winetricks to install vcrun2008, ran the launcher and off we go!  Running on max graphics as smooth as butter.  The Guild Wars 2 betas are also working nicely in wine as well, as long as these two games keep working well I can't see myself booting up my windows machine for a long time.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

I still can't open the installer or game itself (after having copied it over from another machine). It always crashes with the typical Windows error box, but it contains all the Wine trace info:

I think I had the same error a few days ago. The trace shows its sound related.
I haven't given much thought into this, but it seemed that wineserver expected pulseaudio to be working.
I had just removed pulseaudio a few hours earlier, reinstalling it and pulseaudio-alsa got it working.
Wine should work without pulseaudio, though. This is only a workaround.

The Diablo 3 thread over at WineHQ suggests installing dsound via winetricks if it continues to crash due to sound-related issues. Odd that Pulse was causing you issues...

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Managed to get it to install AND run on my netbook (clean, no matches, mods, etc) but it's stuck in an infinite loop; the launcher says the game is up to date, when the game starts it claims it needs to be updated and exits, repeat ad infinitum.

        I'm using PlayOnLinux to run Diablo 3 (as it worked just fine when I ran it on Ubuntu 12.04), but once I get to the log in screen it says there is a patch, takes me back to the launcher which says it's up-to-date, ad infinitum. Seems to be a similar issue to what johnride was experiencing? Any ideas on how to fix it? 'Vanilla' wine is a no-go

    I didn't have much luck with vanilla Wine, but then it's usually advisable to check the appdb first. The relevant entry is here. Be sure to read it periodically as patches come out, or use Google.

    It works just fine with the git version of wine with the patches applied (git apply makes things easy!). The launcher crashes about 30 seconds after you get to the title screen generating a pop-up, but it's not much of an issue.

    I get about 60 FPS on my hardware (NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450, Phenom II 1090T, way more RAM than I'm willing to admit). The game stutters slightly when first loading mesh animations, textures, and maps, but is otherwise about as smooth as in Windows with everything but ground clutter turned up.

    I seem have the best luck running it on its own desktop. This may work for vanilla wine--try it first before patching/building wine--although you will need to have a fully updated copy of Diablo with all of the associated patches copied over from Windows:

    $ cd ~/build/wine
    $ ./wine explorer /desktop=3,1920x1080 /misc/games/Diablo\ III/Diablo\ III\ Launcher.exe

    Also, it might be necessary to remove your ~/.wine directory and use winetricks to install vcrun2008 and possibly d3dx9/d3dx9_43 and/or dsound. See the appdb comments for specific libraries if the patches don't work.

Someone over at PlayOnLinux found a missing dependency.
Installed lib32-libldap & now it works just fine ^ ^

Yes... I run into the same issue with the game looping between the launcher and the message saying there was a new patch for the game.
Installing lib32-libldap solved the problem! big_smile

Thank you!

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Ok well installing libldap got the game working past the patching stage. Next issue is if I try and create a game, it just waits for a while then fails with error 300008.

EDIT: Just works now. Must have been a server issue at the time.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Got mine working, but until warden stops banning accounts for using "3rd party tools" for running wine I gotta stick to windows sad I was over on the diablo 3 forums and apparently wine users are being banned for third party for just using wine sad


Before reading it on diablo3.com's forums I found the article here:

Before reading it on diablo3.com's forums I found the article here:

http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/commen … -be-banned

Out of curiosity, I submitted a ticket to Blizzard's accounting department. This was what I submitted (along with a little background information stating that I tend to play under Wine):

I occasionally play Diablo 3 under Wine in Linux, but I recently stumbled across news that a few Battle.net accounts may have been banned purportedly due to issues with Wine and Warden. While this doesn't concerned me greatly as I don't play very often and I can always boot to Windows instead, I am at least somewhat worried since there is a non-zero probability that at least one of those accounts may not have been doing anything grossly inappropriate.

What I'm curious about is Blizzard's stance on non-Windows (and non-Mac) platforms, like Linux, running Blizzard games under Wine. Should I just give up playing under Wine entirely, bite the bullet, and boot to Windows? Or should I just hang in there--play when I want under the OS I happen to be booted to--and simply address any potential issues if they should arise?

And this was the response:

Ahoy!

Mark from Account Services here! I wanted to let you know right up front, that there really is no right or wrong answer to this question. However personally, I always recommend playing how you feel comfortable. So, if you would like to continue playing on Wine, go for it. If any issues should arise, we can assist appropriately. So, we will be able to see what happened, and if needed, we could get the ban taken off. So, again, no official response, however, personally, I would recommend to stick with it, and if anything should happen, let us know, and we will help out. smile

(Side note: I've always liked Blizzard's customer service people.)

Anyway, suffice it to say I'm not going to worry about getting banned for playing under Wine. My gut feeling is that some of the people who were banned may have been doing questionable things. If anything should happen (it probably won't), I'll deal with it when it does.

The other side of the coin is that I can understand why Blizzard is worried about limiting the impact cheaters may have (the real money auction house comes to mind), so I can't be too upset about that...

A friend has the same problem and he inissts on this library being installed.


He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

Great. The new catalyst update no longer supports my integrated card on the mobo I purchased last year. Since I couldn't get the performance to a playable level anyway, I give up. I've reinstalled the free drivers and I'll boot into Windows to play.

Has anyone had luck playing under WINE with the Intel Ivy Bridge HD3000? I'm thinking about building a new box and I'm done with AMD.

Re: Diablo 3 on archlinux

I was playing Diablo 3 just fine, however I stopped around 6/25 due to various events.
Seeing the "Linux Ban Hammer" information has made me worried of opening the game again.
I do have Windows installed (but rarely use it) but would prefer to not redownload the game.

So I am asking here. Are my fellow Arch Linux users playing Diablo 3 ok?
