Hey there,

just wanted to ask wheatHer you have a PlayOnLinux script, that you are willing to share.

I tried myself on Xubuntu 13.04 amd64 with default wine 1.4.1 in a clean wineprefix and got errors during installation.
Afterwards I compiled v. 1.5.29 myself and could not even start the setup (Bad EXE format; possibly 32/64bit messup).
Gonna try a recompile after reading some manpages.

Also I noticed that (at least on my system - with default and most recent winetricks) some packages don't exist (d3dx11 and some d3dx9_*) or wont install (dotnet40 - this is a know bug i believe, vcrun2005 and vcrun2008).

If you don't have a POL script maybe you can elaborate a little more on what you did. I would be very grateful.

Many thanks for sharing your experience so far,
moddx

Works perfectly for me on Linux Mint 15 KDE 64-bit using CrossOver 12.5 (Wine ver. 1.6). Just needs "DirectX Runtime - Modern" and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables installed.

Visual C++ 2010 was a good hint (winetricks vcrun2010).
I got the game working now using wine1.4.1 and installing patch 2.0.1.5 for magrunner (without, the game was unable to create a window).
No sound yet though. If I can't work that out, i'll try a more recent wine version.

Thanks for your answer adamhm

Good to know. Thanks! :)

Thank you for the list! I just got frustrated, because Magrunner did not run directly from wine (and I already bought a few more titles so I perceive this as a slightly bad sign). I hope the packages will fix that.

sadly i have sudden laggs at random times (even on main menu), no clue why this happens :(

People playing this game using PlayOnLinux should download and use the wine+csmt patch builds. CrossOver users have that feature enabled by default. No additional libraries are needed to run it with CrossOver. Just run the installer and run the game.
