Help getting DDO working on linux

[Koechophe]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I didn't really know where to put it.

I'm running linux mint, and I'm trying to get DDO working. I've followed several different guides to attempt to get it going, but I always run into an error code directly after login. I have no idea how to read the error code, and basic googling yielded no results. Let me answer a few questions before they're asked.

-I'm running the newest version of linux mint in 64 bit.
-My cpu runs on an a8 chipset and I already downloaded the propriatary driver
-I am attempting to run this through wine using ddo's native client. The native client appears to be working well enough, just dies right after I try to login. I tried using Pylotro with the exact same results (even the same error code), so I do not believe that is the problem.
-I tried both copying the regular ddo files and just installing ddo fresh onto this box, neither worked.
-I installed all sorts of random stuff from different guides including dx9.
-I did not install pando media booster. All of the codes that attempted to install pmb on my cpu didn't work. I was under the impression (from more recent guides) that it was unnecessary, either because my cpu already installed it when it installed ddo, or because ddo didn't use pmb anymore

Any and all help is appreciated. Error code below.

Hm.

Now, been a while since I last debugged anything properly, but did you have any 32-bit libs successfully loaded there? (Do you have architecture "i386" enabled? You know, with "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" ?) It looks like you're getting a WOW64 startup (32-bit application in 64-bit Windows or Wine) which wasn't really working very well yet in Wine, last time I heard... usual recommendation is to run a 32-bit Wine on your 64-bit Linux when using 32-bit applications.

(I really should reinstall this thing as 64-bit myself too... currently running 32-bit on 64-capable hardware. Well, the one I'm typing this on, at least...)

Then, did you install any other libraries / component libraries into Wine? And what Windows version are you imitating? There are conflicting accounts on what libraries you need, probably because the official launcher needs more/different than dndclient.exe itself by now... also somewhat dependent on graphics settings. I believe you need at least a bunch of vcrun*, msvc* and DirectX libraries in any case... possibly also a fonts package or two. And possibly some others as well. Also setting emulation version to Windows 2000 or 2003 is usually recommended.

(For me, well, DDO isn't the only Windows application I run in Linux, so...)

And finally, I usually have an aftermarket version of Wine, the 1.7 series is stable enough for this stuff by now.


And I actually "wimped out" and had this thing running Windows while installing, and run DDO off the Windows partition anyway (symlinked from under .wine/drive_c/... to wherever the actual partition is mounted) - but even that way, DDO starts faster than natively in Windows and doesn't need the preloader.

Err, how exactly do you install a 32 bit wine on a 64 bit os? Do you just download it and let it go?

Actually, you may already have it installed, it's supposed to be installed automatically in "modern" Wine packages built "the recommended way", but 1.4 may not be "modern" according to the Wine folks. (It was still the default for Ubuntu 13.10 too, anyway, and I think that's what Mint 16 is based on? I installed prebuilt 1.7 myself instead...)


If you have a sufficiently new Wine, you should be able to force 32-bit startup by setting the environment variable WINEARCH to "win32" so that it gets passed to the Wine process. But, you need to have separate Wine "prefixes" (sort of a settings directory) for separate architectures, so you may need to change that part manually too if you're starting it as 64-bit by default.

So, something like 'WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine /whichever/path/you/have/for/TurbineLauncher.exe' could work, for example.



Besides, on Linux, if you say "download and let go" it traditionally involves things like "./configure --prefix=/usr/local ; make; sudo make install", but in case of Wine it's a bit more complicated.
I suppose the instructions up at http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64 would be where you should start if you do that, but, it's not really recommended for the nontechnical end user.



Much easier and safer to look for prebuilt packages using whatever tool your distribution has for that, I believe in Mint's case that'd be "mintinstall" usually? Or from the command line, the 'dpkg --add-architecture i386' thing and then force-install 32-bit Wine with "apt-get install wine:1386"... I think... but I don't know what versions are available in Mint's repository.

In any case you'll probably need at least "ia32-libs" installed.

I actually think mine was 1.6, but it was also specifically the AMD 6bit distro. I uninstalled and purged wine from my system, reinstalled the generic package and now it's working pretty much flawlessly. It actually plays smoother than it ever did on windows 8. After running the command to kill the awesomium.exe error, it's flowing beautifully. So yeah, my purge of windows 8 is now official and complete. I'm generally pretty proficient at using technology, but I've never used a linux OS, so I'm expecting to go through some trial and error. I'm actually surprised that it was just [Ione[/I] thing I had to fix. In my experience, operations like this are usually hours and hours of troubleshooting that actually ends in you not being able to do what you were trying to, because the computer gods want to assert their authority over you. Fortunately, the extent of my CPU usage is Google Drive, Blender, Gimp and DDO, so I've got my bases covered. Thanks so much for your help!
