[Linux] How To Install Return of Reckoning

[xpander]

I am running RoR using dxvk. Everything works fine with the exception of the launcher. I applied the exception to use the builtin d3d9 for the launcher, but it is black still.

You using Lutris? hmm maybe its working differently there..have to test.


edit: OK yeah it doesnt work this way on Lutris, but theres another way to do it!

First. Disable DXVK on Lutris. then copy this d3d9.dll into the WAR folder. where you RorLauncher.exe is.
Then go to your winecfg. add WAR-64.exe into it and go into overrides and add d3d9 and mark it as native

*that dll is 32bit DXVKs d3d9.dll, its 32bit cause WAR-64.exe is not actual 64bit executable but large adress aware patched 32bit.

I tried out the WINEESYNC trick (didn't know that was a thing) tonight on my 9 year old laptop with an Intel HD 3000 and it made a very noticable difference to the performance.
I'm only in the starting area but very playable on "Oooh Shiney!".

Time to get stuck into my Warrior Priest!

screenshot of the dotnet error would help also

Finally I achieved to repair it by reinstalling from scratch.

All new installations should have ESYNC enabled by default. I managed to change the script in lutris.
But yeah it makes a huge difference.

It worked perfectly, thank you.

Got this error after trying to relaunch the game. Reinstalled, but it did not start to update. Added the RoRLauncher.exe and the same error occured. Any clue?

some windows users get this also that's a weird one.. usually the RoRLauncher.exe replacement helps

edit: check your system-monitor. maybe another RoRLauncher is running or so.

The problem has magically fixed itself it seems. The game is once more running with no problems.

First post updated with vkbasalt configuration files.
You can now play the game with even better visuals.

Having to change from Windows 7 to another system, I chose Linux Mint 19.3. I can get it mostly installed through Lutris, but when I try to run it (through their launcher) I get this Wine pop-up, of which I don't know how to interpret. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Lutris Log has the following:

Spoiler:

Game is considered started.
esync: up and running.

I am also open to using just Wine, or other non-Lutris options.
