You *really* shouldn't install directx9 in the wine prefix; you need Wine's built-in Direct3D libraries for the game to work right. I suggest doing:

Code:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf winecfg
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf winetricks vcrun2005 d3dx9
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf wine ~/Downloads/bttf_101_setup.exe

When winecfg runs, go to the Audio tab, click "OK" when it says no audio driver is setup and it's picking defaults, and (probably) go into the Graphics tab and set it to run in a virtual desktop (1024x768 is a good size). It runs just fine for me.

Edit: And if that prefix already exists, remove it first, then try doing the above.

Edit 2: And when the installer runs, make sure to say "No" when it asks if you want it to download and run the DirectX updater.

My understanding was that by running the following command, you were downloading Windows versions of the Direct 3D libraries (extracted from the DirectX cab files - run winetricks in a terminal and you'll see it's using wget to grab them from the Microsoft site). Winetricks copies them to your prefix and configures dll overrides so that the built in Wine provided versions are no longer used.

Code:

winetricks d3dx9

I may be wrong but I believe "winetricks d3dx9" only extracts a particular bit of directx9 ie it doesnt replace all of the native wine libs only some

GameOver69 · 01/04/2011, 07:59 pm

Can you explain this a little more. I have used wine in the past, but never was an advanced user. Im not sure where i should be entering this code? Is it in the terminal, or a cfg file?

Can you maybe give me a step by step if is not too much trouble?

Thanks.

All that installs is the d3dx9_*.dll extension library redistributables, not all of DirectX/D3D. Those are the only parts we need to make the game work.

Yes, that's in a terminal. There's really not much more step-by-step that I can get. Just have the installer in the Downloads directory under your home directory, run those commands, and do what I said when you run winecfg. Also, make sure to choose *not* to run the DirectX updater when you run the game installer. That's really it.

Your earlier post reads as though you were saying that the winetricks installer installed the Wine project's Direct3D components >_<

GameOver, if you're still having trouble, each of the lines that demonfoo mentioned earlier should be run in a terminal as separate commands (type each line in a terminal and press enter).

The first line creates a new Wine environment (or 'prefix') called ".wine_bttf" in your home folder if it doesn't already exist. This prevents any settings or library configurations (d3dx9) from impacting on any other applications you have installed via Wine and vice versa. After the environment is ready, the Wine settings window will appear. You can close it.

The second line installs native Visual C++ runtime libraries and DirectX 9 components, and configures the necessary DLL overrides for you. You can also do this through the winetricks GUI window, but there are a couple variations of the vcrun2005 package, and it's worth making sure you get the right one.

The third line is running the installer (obviously if it isn't in your Downloads folder, you'll want to put the correct path in).

You'll notice that every line starts with "WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf". This lets wine know to make sure it uses the new environment you created with the first line

Looking forward to hearing how you go.

ok guys, thanks for your help.

so i followed your steps, and now get a different, much shorter error. Please see below:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf wine '/home/joseph/.wine_bttf/drive_c/Program Files/Telltale Games/Back to the Future The Game/Episode 1/BackToTheFuture101.exe'

fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:win:RegisterRawInputDevices (pRawInputDevices=0x32f79c, uiNumDevices=1, cbSize=12) stub!

any ideas?

Cheeseness · 01/08/2011, 02:40 am

Don't know if it'll help or not, but try running it from the same folder as the executable (eg: cd '/home/joseph/.wine_bttf/drive_c/Program Files/Telltale Games/Back to the Future The Game/Episode 1/' first).

With other TellTale games, I've had difficulties when trying to launch from the command line without being in the program's folder.

I generally run BTTF from the desktop shortcut icon that the installer creates.

GameOver69 · 01/08/2011, 11:46 am

As you can see from the two thigns i pasted below i have tried it with the regular wine and executable from within the folder (terninal), and also using the wineprefix command in the terminal. THey return two different errors. I guess im not destined to run this game in ubuntu

I've found this to be the case with most Windows EXEs. They tend to get pretty cranky if they're not run from the directory they expect, Wine or otherwise.

Erm, if the trace is to be believed, the crash is somewhere in the fmodex DLL; what kind of soundcard do you have? What driver are you using? If you run:

Code:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_bttf winecfg

and look at the bottom of the Applications tab, what is selected in the "Windows Version" dropdown list? It should be "Windows XP", as F-Mod doesn't like certain things about Wine's emulation of audio services if "Windows Vista" is selected (based on past experience with SBCG4AP + Wine).

Looking at the debug call stack, it looks like game called into:

?createChannelGroup@System@FMOD@@QAG?AW4FMOD_RESUL T@@PBDPAPAVChannelGroup@2@@Z

which internally calls into:

?createChannelGroupInternal@SystemI@FMOD@@QAG?AW4F MOD_RESULT@@PBDPAPAVChannelGroupI@2@_N2@Z

(oh don't you just love internal representations of C++ method names?), so I'm guessing it's either trying to run as Windows Vista and making F-Mod EX upset, or there's something it doesn't like about your soundcard.

Edit: Also, what version of Wine are you running? Running "wine --version" should give you a version string.

Edit 2: I did try switching the Wine prefix for my local copy of Back to the Future to "Windows Vista"; that actually worked, so I think either you've got a version of Wine that's having problems, or there's something wonky about your soundcard (or PulseAudio) on your system...

Apologies. I've never noticed that in winetricks and thought you must've misread GameOver's preceeding and assumed s/he had installed it from a native installer.

Go figure. I run most stuff from my home folder. Aside from Trackmania and the Telltale games, I've never really had an issue with that.

GameOver, In addition to demonfoo's questions and suggestions, I'd also be interested to know what you have ticked in the Driver Selection section of the Audio tab.

Don't give up just yet.

GameOver69 · 01/09/2011, 10:01 am

It is indeed runinng as if it was windows xp, and the sound driver it is using is ALSA, which is correct. I am using a Creative X-Fi Card. My Wine version is 1.3.10.

Edit: I unchecked ALSA in the Audio tab under winecfg, and tried again, and still received the same errors

demonfoo · 01/09/2011, 10:57 am

Does your sound work in anything on Linux? YouTube videos, GNOME desktop sounds, Linux-native games? If you run:

Code:

lspci -v | grep -A 10 Audio | grep Kernel

it should output a few lines indicating what kernel drivers are being used for your sound board; all the systems I've run it on to date use onboard Intel (Azalia) audio instead of a separate soundcard, so maybe the drivers for your X-Fi board are doing things that Wine isn't accounting for...

GameOver69 · 01/09/2011, 01:51 pm

my audio works fine in linux. no problems what so ever. However, when i ran your line of code in terminal, it did not return anything. Just right back at the command prompt. No errors, anything.

Cheeseness · 01/18/2011, 11:30 am

You could try purging (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called under Debian/Ubuntu) the fmod package and/or reinstalling/upgrading to the latest version.

Thanks guys for this forum. I have followed all of the above and got it installed and past the log-in page however once I click play it goes to a blue screen and that is all I get. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Try setting mmdevapi to disabled in winecfg.
also
Try setting dsound to builtin.

Let me know if I can help more.

It runs here but... it is alot slower and stuttery than episode 1 for unknown reasons. Same wineprefix runs both but episode 2 is stuttery...
and since it is the same engine I am lost for words.

I think Telltale must have tweaked a few things in the codebase and this is making episode 2 very slow now.

*sigh*

Anyone got an idea?

An no it is not my specs:
Software

Code:

Xubuntu 10.04 with Compiz (yes ill try without compiz but since episode 1 works just fine...)
Nvidia 260.19.36
Wine 1.3.13

Hardware:

Code:

Intel Q6600
NVidia GTS450 1gb
4gb RAM
1tb HD
Intel HDA audio

Wine config:

Code:

vcrun2005 and d3dx9 only on fresh prefix.

Software\Wine\DirectSound
"MaxShadowSize"="0"

Software\Wine\Direct3D
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"Multisampling"="enabled"

"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"

"VideoMemorySize"="1024"

Cheeseness · 02/17/2011, 06:03 pm

Hmm.. we found that Ep2 ran slower than Ep1 as well, but figured that was probably because I'd downgraded graphics cards whilst waiting on a warranty replacement

Putting the graphics settings on Medium (you can get that by switching to Basic settings) sorted it out for us, and then we tuned things by bumping the settings in Advanced settings up until it slowed again.

I can post exact settings if that's helpful.

TwilightZ0na · 02/18/2011, 03:42 am

I keep getting this in the console at times where it is actually stuttering:

fixme:d3d:state_blendop Unrecognized/Unhandled D3DBLENDOP value 0

apparently Source/Steam games also have a similar problem could just be a coincidence however.

Cheeseness · 02/20/2011, 02:07 pm

I seem to get that as well, but it plays pretty happily when I'm not launching it from a terminal - writing to the console always seems to slow things down a little. I haven't ever seen TF2, L4D2, HL2, Portal or Alien Swarm give that output (I haven't really been playing in a long time though).

Did dropping back the settings help at all?

Cheeseness That guy Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Australia Posts: 181	My understanding was that by running the following command, you were downloading Windows versions of the Direct 3D libraries (extracted from the DirectX cab files - run winetricks in a terminal and you'll see it's using wget to grab them from the Microsoft site). Winetricks copies them to your prefix and configures dll overrides so that the built in Wine provided versions are no longer used. Code: winetricks d3dx9

With other TellTale games, I've had difficulties when trying to launch from the command line without being in the program's folder. I generally run BTTF from the desktop shortcut icon that the installer creates.

I can post exact settings if that's helpful.

Cheeseness That guy Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Australia Posts: 181	I seem to get that as well, but it plays pretty happily when I'm not launching it from a terminal - writing to the console always seems to slow things down a little. I haven't ever seen TF2, L4D2, HL2, Portal or Alien Swarm give that output (I haven't really been playing in a long time though). Did dropping back the settings help at all?
