Hello together!

The game works perfect with usage of WINE 1.9.1-staging (therefore I'm using under <span class="bold">Devuan</span>). You can also install the [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/killer-app]Killer-App Mod to get support for widescreen.

Perhaps I'll upload a short playtest-video on OpenStreamer if there is further interest on this.

Please, do it.

I have problems running this game with wine. But I am total newbie regarding wine, so, it's not really saying much.

I installed the game fine, and startup screen shows fine (the one with options). But after hitting play and selecting any level of detail, the game crashes. It looks like it initializes screen, but after that Lithtech.exe crashes.

I am using Linux Mint 17.2 and I have tried it with wine 1.8 and 2.0-rc2.

Here is my console output if someone can help me fix it:

Hey Miljac: I think you could have missed some needed package to be installed with winetricks. Even if WINE as project is trying to implement a complete wrapper they have to do some kind of reverse engineering for nearly every library from Windows. Most things regarding Direct3D9 for example are now feature-complete, but others are missed until today. So if you're using "PlayOnLinux", do the following:

1. Select your prefix and click on "Configure".
2. Then within the configuration-interface select the tab "Install Components".
3. You should install the following additional packages: vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010 and just to be sure vcrun6.

The problem is the callstack for the library msvcrt.dll, which is part of those packages mentioned above. That's the problem for now, I think. :)

I've gotten the game to work pretty decently on my archaic 1.83 Ghz Core Duo MacBook with a 64 MB GMA 950 running OS X 10.6.8; I'm using Wine 2.0-rc1 under Wineskin.

First, I needed to install vcrun6sp6 in winetricks to get the game to work; this works around the mscvirt.dll error noted in the game's AppDB entry. To clear up some error messages in my log, I also installed directmusic and dsound in winetricks. To clear up performance issues, I also set UseGLSL=disable also.

I've also installed the unofficial 1.042 patch and v.1.1a of Killer App, too, and apart from the lengthy installation process didn't exhibit any problems.

EDIT: I forgot, for the Killer App mod to install, I needed to let WINE install its own Gecko.

@throgh
Thank you, that did it, it works now. To be honest I didn't know I can use play on linux with non listed games, I was using plain wine originally, Thanks again!

@Judas
I will, thanks!

Now I just have to find some way to deal with jerky mouse, I'm not sure if it is general problem, or wine related.

Well, then someone needs to reopen this bug:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11910

No problem, video is uploaded: http://openstreamer.org/podcasts/spieletests-unter-linux/demo-unter-linux-tron-20-wine-1747

This is not the GOG-version, but it should demonstrate the game also as it is the german retail version.
