run this from terminal (close all processes first):

WINEPREFIX=/home/teo/Games/warhammer-online-return-of-reckoning/prefix winetricks --force dotnet40 d3dx9_34

im working with Lutris dev to fix that issue when on some distros dotnet40 seems to fail to install

i tried all versions of wine that lutris have and all the time it got me this whats going wrong ?(it seems that it havent install directx and dotnet40,but when i installed them the installation runs fine and seems that it is installed)my next thing is to put previous version of drivers nvidia.

it doesn't say any wine errors. just general system and lutris stuff

remove the WINEDEBUG=-all from the Warhammer Lutris configuration > System options.. under environment variables. It should show full log then with wine errors also.

Ok the installer is updated on Lutris site. Should work much better now and enables DXVK also. Huge thanks to Le Gluon du Net from Lutris discord server.

I'm not having any success with vkbasalt, I have the environmental variable setup in Lutris system options.

I can only assume it is the shader paths, this is what I have:

Which appears correct to me, do I need to quote the lines due to the spaces?

e: I did install vkbasalt from the AUR (Arch btw..)

I think its the spaces in your path?
try addint quotes.. maybe that will fix or try to get rid of the spaces in the path.

edit: also make sure 32bit version of vkbasalt is installed..this game is 32bit even with the WAR-64.exe

When I try installing dotnet45, like the users have above, I get this very weird message from the terminal I've never seen before:

Spoiler:

I have Mono installed, so I'm not sure why that error is showing up at the start. The loader section error continues to time out until I kill the process, as well. Best I can tell, it might be a problem with my wineprefix? I'm somewhat new to Linux (using Arch), so don't entirely start what's going on here...thanks for the help.

Hi, I want to give my experience with RoR under wine.

One remark first:
I would never use any lutris modified wine, because wine builds have to match exactly the version of linux you are using or you can get a depency hell.

I am using the WineHQ wine-staging build (atm 6rc2) with newest amd-mesa drivers (and vulkan) for ubuntu 20.04 on a ryzen 5 machine with 16 GB mem.
When playing RoR with dxvk enabled the game is crashing at about 1.5 GB used memory, nearly insta at every keep fight, with a dxvk allocation error.
When playing RoR without dxvk the game can use about 2.5 GB before it crashes, but this is a very rare condition.
dxvk RoR has about 30 .. 40 % better performance and less processor use, but because of the described early crashes i don't use it.
With OpenGL wine staging you can have relative much of the graphical effects active, and the performance is still between 10 .. 20 fps when 500 ppl are around.

Now my (advanced) questions:
Is there a way to tell dxvk not to use the lower parts of the 3.xx GB possible memory and put their dlls to the upper part of memory (like a loadhigh for DOS)?
Or is the dxvk issue maybe a result of double allocation of resources and therefor double memory consumption?

Thanks in advance
Dynamene

- lutris wine builds don't have to mach your exact versions of linux stuff. only important thing is glibc which should be 2.28+ . should be fine with everything recent and up to date. ubuntu 18.04 has 2.27 so with that it wont work.
- never encountered crashes with DXVK enabled mysef, memory usage goes nicely above 2.2GB. Make sure you have WAR-64 selected from the launcher. (its still 32bit, but has large address aware patch)
optionally you can try adding launch variable

Code: Select all

WINE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1

second thought: maybe its your VRAM that makes the game crash with DXVK? I think it uses a bit more VRAM with it. you can try editing dxvk.conf file with the contents

Code: Select all

d3d9.maxAvailableMemory = 4096

select the number of video memory you have

edit: also if you installed via lutris and recently. DXVK gets enabled with winetricks instead of the Lutris system. So do not enable DXVK from lutris. it gets added with winetricks. you can disable or enable it by changing the d3d9 in the winecfg library overrides. setting it to native means it will use DXVK, setting it to builtin means it will use the regular wine one, aka OpenGL

Hey guys,
just wanted to leave a strange observation:

I've installed and successfully run RoR with the older lutris scripts (the time when there where 2 scripts, one torrent and one direct install). So after a few months I wanted to reinstall the game using lutris.
I tried the last available script with the torrent download but sadly I can't start the RoRLauncher. It Just don't open and ends the process immediately. So I tried everything mentioned here like installing dotnet40 with winetricks etc. Nothing appears to work.
The strange thing now is: I'm able to run the RoRLauncher just fine with my systemwide standard wine 3.0 running the standard prefix. So is it possible that there went something wrong in your update to the script?

I will dumb the "error log" from your lutris-version here if it is helpfull. Honestly, I can't see why it's not working with this small amount of output.

Code: Select all

The error with broken nvidia randr is also thrown with my system wineprefix so this can't be the error preventing RoR from starting with your install-script.
Also I already tried different wine versions in lutris down to 5.5.2

Hopefully you have an idea how to fix this behaviour

Best regards and please be kind to me, I'm not a native speaker

Edit: Just updated systemwide wine to staging 6.0 and I still can run RoRLauncher, lutris keeps closing after I hit play
