PSA: Borderlands 2 in wine runs [details inside]

buttons · 2012-09-18 21:44:33

I can't seem to find a post anywhere on the internet even asking about this, and yet I'm sure someone out there is curious. So let me be the first: BL2 doesn't run.

I speculate this is due to lack of .NET 4 support, which is apparently required for operation.

EDIT: Fixed with a trick to bypass the launcher below

You can be the first one to post about this issue: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … plications

fettouhi · 2012-09-19 06:55:53

AFAIK you can install .NET 4 in wine.

Hmmm. Someone seems to have gotten it to work but hasn't provided details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbt_rS81eBc

Hm, well this looks like reasonable details to me:
<snip>
wine 1.5.13
no extra tweaks: installer provided vcrun 2008 and 2010 and dotnetfx40.
framerate seems to be fine without any drops so far (ofc recorder only does 23 fps like seen from the script )

sound through microphone again..god damn linux recorders:(

It's not. The problem is the launcher crashes (which requires .NET 4 to run). He provided more details today, which involve bypassing the launcher by running the app directly. A trick needs to be done before this works:

add a file called steam_appid.txt to the Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\Binaries\Win32 directory
put '49520' (without quotes) in this file
Start steam, and then run Borderlands2.exe directly from the same directory

And it runs!

How is its performance in wine compared to Windows?

Yes it does, but for me it crashes with a fatal error (ssleay error of some kind) after all the logos and it says hit any key and then it starts to create an online session. A few seconds into that and then it crashes.

Fatal error!

Hm...interesting since he stated:

Anyway, I don't want to knitpick around....

Cool to see BL2 running on arch2

Can't speculate since I don't have something to compare it to. My Geforce 540M seems to have reasonably smooth framerate, however it gets noticeably jerky during/when starting cutscenes.

I'm running it on a i7 with 8 GB of RAM and Nvidia 580 GTX and I'm getting 60 frames per second almost (need to do more testing). But this bug I mentioned earlier

Fatal error!

keeps showing up. I've been able to bypass it once by reinstalling gnupg, gpgme and libassuan. But when I relaunched the game a bit later again (wanted to test my xbox 360 controller) the error showed up again.

BTW buttons are you running Arch on 64 bit or 32 bit?

Well hopefully this thread isn't too old to resurrect.

After much troubleshooting and several reinstalls, installing some extra libs, etc., I am getting the following error:

$ wine Borderlands2.exe
fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub
fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000380, 00000000): partial stub.
err:module:attach_process_dlls "msvcrt.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe" failed, status c0000005

I have vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, dotnet20/40, dx3d9* all installed through winetricks.

Wine is version 1.5.14 in a 32-bit prefix.

EDIT: Wanted to add that sometimes the first4 lines seen above do not appear, seems random. Not sure if that helps any.

I've also confirmed mscvcrt.dll exists in ../windows/system32.

EDIT2:

I somehow got past that point (don't even remember what I did), and am now getting this error:

err:module:attach_process_dlls "msacm32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe" failed, status c0000005

Tried forcing msacm32 as native, builtin, builtin then native, native then builtin. If I set msacm to native, I get this error:

$ wine Borderlands2.exe
err:module:import_dll Library msacm32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winmm.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library WINMM.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library msacm32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winmm.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library WINMM.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\binkw32.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library binkw32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\2K Games\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe" failed, status c0000135

At which point I can't run winecfg anymore, getting these errors:

$ winecfg
err:module:import_dll Library msacm32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winmm.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library winmm.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000135

At this point I have to run:

$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES='msacm32=b' winecfg

to be able to use winecfg again.

Anybody have any ideas?
