So, I'm receiving an error message about no package exist for vcrun2015.

TaxAkla: So, I'm receiving an error message about no package exist for vcrun2015.
It's not a package, it's installed via winetricks or am I misunderstanding your post?

Sorry, my fault. First, I tried installing through Play On Linux. Didn't found vcrun2015 with winecfg, so I opened a terminal and wrote "winetricks vcrun2015". The output returned an error message: "Unknown arg vcrun2015".

Where do I get that vcrun2015? Maybe I need to register another PPA? I always installed through POL, so sorry if this is a noob question.

Winetricks is a shell script. You get it from here. POL may be bundling an outdated/broken version. Try updating Winetricks to current.
winetricks dlls list
vcrun2015 should be one of the ones listed.

Hmmm. Can you tell me your winetricks version?

Just type "winetricks --version" (without " ") in the terminal, please.
Thanks again Gydion.

Gydion: Port i386-wine-devel is a bit odd in that it actually uses wine-devel. The i386 port is mostly additional compatibility shims. Port wine-devel is the one doing all the work. When wine-devel is built with the X11 option that in turn pulls in <i>fontconfig</i> among others.
Reading through i386-wine-devel make files, I think you're right about the building process. There was no doubt about what wine-devel needs to pull in order to be built.

Gydion: True, but in this case it should be quite safe. If you check the previous version it's not associated with any security problems or other bugs. I also rather doubt anything else requires that new a version of fontconfig.
I'll look more on that.
I'm not sure and since it's my main system, the last thing I'd like is to turn it unstable.

I'll try to update Winetricks.

Yeah, that's very old. Can you check which version your distro carries? The newest version of winetricks will recognize the vcrun2015 argument and it comes with a self-update utility as well :)

This is the latest version after running the --self-update command:

20160724 - sha1sum: 8180ca45e0506f480f1a3720787819950864289e

Unfortunately PoL doesn't support vcrun2015. It also won't install on any Wine prefix created by PoL if you use winetricks, you'll just get errors.

You need to use a clean Wine prefix (one that isn't created by PoL) and grab a new version of winetricks if you need vcrun2015.

Thanks Judas, I didn't know about the self-updater.

Yes, it's quite handy :) No more waiting for the package maintainer to update it :)
some more hacking around on Interstate 76.
The attached patch limits the fps to 30. That prevents any gamebreaking "I can't make that jump" cases (or the AI not making a jump). At least as far as I have played.
The physics still sometimes feels a little bit odd and the AI acts retarded at times, but I'm not sure if this is buggy behavior or simply a game from the 90s ;)
The patch also disable the funky cpu speed measurement, so no need to run it under win98.

to apply the patch:
download the attached file, save as 30fps.patch
then in the game directory:

~/games/interstate $ md5sum i76.exe
9a232dcc2c164648cff20c414c1f9698 i76.exe
~/games/interstate $ cp i76.exe i76_fix.exe
~/games/interstate $ xxd -r 30fps.patch i76_fix.exe
~/games/interstate $ md5sum i76_fix.exe
a6093422be1a941f48731bbd0da56f3a i76_fix.exe

then launch the game with: wine i76_fix.exe

Details: I have only played for a short while, but encountered no major issues & it seems to run almost perfectly. The game had a title bar initially despite running full screen but it went away after changing to a higher resolution and hasn't returned. Tested with virtual desktop enabled. Do not use CSMT as it'll cause the game to freeze on exit.

Any word on the latest Army Men trilogy? After a long and unsuccessful battle to get the last game I tried working (Interstate '82) I'm a little hesitant to buy this without any feedback from my fellow WINE gurus.

I've only tried Army Men (1) (which I dl illegally since it's not for sale here, but do own it on CD) and it will run, tried bootcamp and the grenade launcher part can't be completed, as the grenades flies of randomly, and there are times that it's hard to make out if your army man.
