Games Crashing, Possible S3TC Issue.

vxghostdancerxv · 2022-03-20 09:58:48

I am trying to get Dungeons and Dragons Online to load. Right after I press the Play button the window simply closes and nothing happens.

I am recent Slackware user. I used Slackware for over 10 years so for the most part I know my way around the system. On Slackware 14.2 I had to download the libtx libraries and use driconf to enable S3TC compression. I had the same exact problem on Slackware but doing those steps always worked. I know recent changes indicate that those steps are no longer necessary and I was told S3TC is now enabled by default.

This leaves me stumped and i can't figure out for the life of me why my game keeps crashing. I am sure it's just a setting issue somewhere. One of the reasons I play DDO is because my laptop it old. It uses Intel HD 3000 graphics so my machine won't support much of anything else, lol. Any help would be appreciated.

Post terminal logs, also I'm assuming "recent Slackware user" is supposed to read Arch Linux? Otherwise you'd be on the wrong boards.

You have tried running the installer in a clean wine-prefix as mentioned at https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. … n&iId=2910 ?

as for s3tc : it was integrated & activated by default in mesa 17.3 version (late in 2017) after the patents on it expired.

Apart from terminal logs please also post pacman -Qs wine

Just to clarify I recent switched to Arch linux from Slackware. I actually figured out one of the issues. I missing openal and 32 openal. Once I got those installed I was then prompted to decide if I wanted to install direct x 10. However, if I install it or not is irrelevant. Once I select either or it simply closes again. I will del the prefix and install to a new fresh one to see if that helps. I didn't have the openal files installed to begin with so may have caused it. I will also report the results.

archlinux repo packages never depend on aur packages and wine-staging has been in repos since 2015 .
Use pacman -Qi packagename to verify if something on your system needs them (I estimate the chance for that is less then 1 in a million) , if not remove them.

wine has lots of optional dependencies, use pacman -Qi wine to check which are installed .
