[Solved]PlayOnLinux: War Thunder

Varg · 2014-06-07 13:46:05

I've been away from Arch Linux for a while and I've been using Ubuntu where I played War Thunder using PlayOnLinux. It was as easy as installing PlayOnLinux, install War Thunder, install a couple of components and start playing.
Now back on Arch I can not get the game to work. When I run the game, the launcher shows up but when I click "Play", it just crashes. The debug console in PlayOnLinux gives no errors.
Since it pretty much worked out of the box on Ubuntu I'm sure I'm just missing some library. I've been searching for a couple of hours but I can't find what I'm missing.

I'm running a x64 install, Radeon HD5600 graphics card with the radeon open source drivers. ( same driver as I used in Ubuntu )

Which binaries for wine do you use? 32 or 64 bit ones? I had better experience with several applications using 32 bit versions on a x86_64 system.
If you use the system version for this game, run it in terminal and set WINEDEBUG (or leave it blank).

I'm running a 32 bit version of the game with latest Wine version. WINEDEBUG was set to "-all", also tried setting it blank. The only output it gives on crash is:

[POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0

EDIT:

Found the built in debugging option in PlayOnLinux. There was an error about png12 and something with curl in it so I installed 'lib32-libpng12' and 'lib32-libcurl'. I can now run the game so the issue is solved.

Glad to read you made it work. I was referring to wine format itself. PoL lets you choose between x86_64 and x86 wine binaries under Tools -> Manage Wine Versions. I also meant using WINEDEBUG running wine from terminal, like this:

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.winewt" WINEDEBUG="err+all" \
WINEDLLOVERRIDES='amstream=n;devenum=n,b;quartz=n' wine explorer /desktop=War_Thunder,1280x1024 WT.exe

This way you can debug faster then with PoL (changing debug parameters, prefix, wine versions (needs additional variables, see man wine), dll overrides etc.).
