Download Dreamfall 1.64 Us Patch
These are the tips and tricks you must do in order to fully play the game at a way that is desirable.1st - Install the game:)2nd - Find and download the file 'd3dx927.dll' and copy that to your /.wine/drivec/Program Files/Funcom/Dreamfall Folder via terminal or File Manager.3rd - Open up your terminal and execute this command - 'wine regedit' That should bring up a window. Follow these instruction as '+' means to expand that folder.HKEYCURRENTUSER +Software +Wine +Direct3DI may be wrong, but you may have to create a new key for Direct3D, but that's easy. Right click and go to new key and than fill in the supplied area with 'Direct3D'Now finally go into the right part of the regedit where it says name and just under that right click and create another key name USEGLSL. When you're done doing that double click the file you just created and type disabled when prompted for a dialog box.Don't close regedit for now you'll need it for the next step.4th (OPTIONAL) - I've heard this from a few forums I've entered and it seems to do an interesting thing on the games I've encountered so I might as well share this information. It supposedly increases fps in games by bypassing the errors which are usually running in the background of a game. Inquiry into this matter hasn't been verified by me, but as soon as I run some tests I'll be sure to update ASAP.Anyways This is how you acquire the effect.Find a folder somewhere on your drive where you'd like to run a script for running a game each time you play it, preferably the desktop in most cases.
Now that you've done that create a new document name 'Dreamfall.sh' and continue on to edit that file.The contents of this file should be as followsWINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine C:/Program Files/Funcom/Dreamfall/dreamfall.exeAlright now save that file and now right click on it and go to Properties - Permissions - Click - Alow Executing of this file.And that's all, if you follow these options effectively you should be able to play the game perfect or close to it.Have fun! Hello,i installed Dreamfall. I bought the cheap German Version: 'Adventure Collection 3' and the Game installed fine. I just copy thed3dx927.dll file from antoher game into the windows/system32 folder.
And use regedit to set this Settings:'DirectDrawRenderer'='opengl'OffscreenRenderingMode'='fbo'UseGLSL'='enabled'VideoMemorySize'='512'The game works fully fine, without a nocd-patch. I used a nocd-patch the first time, cause i read about it will be needed. But the game crashed with these DrawDevice (?) Messages that here are complained. Perhaps the cheap Version i bought has no copy protection or wine could deal with it. I don't know.I just would say that i play the whole game to End, and it work fine. The Controller was supported as well.
It was awesome.If you like Adventures that play fine in wine try Dreamfall.About the first Part, The longest Journey: I played this with a Version of Cedega 7.1.0. Hi, I tried to install this game by following the HowTo above, and using regedit to set the Settings as you've suggested. I should mention that I had to create all the keys manually (Direct3D too) and I created them here:HKEYCURRENTUSER +Software +Wine +here.This was my first time using regedit, so I'm not sure if I did this correctly.After doing all this, when I tried to run the game I get an error message:'Failed to initialize Direct3D. And it stops loading.Have you encountered this error too? I don't know how to fix this, I've tried everything that's in my power.Btw I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and Wine 1.3.6. Yes regedit work this Way, you have to add these Folders manually. If you Click above an 'Wiki' and watch out for 'Usefull regestry keys' you find a nice Entry that describes how to use it the right way.
Often i miss some things there about some typos in the Key-Words or Folders.Is this the first game where you use Rendering? It could be that your Ubuntu-Setup have no Direct Rendering enabled, cause of some Drivers. But if you have, its an Error about Wines Direct3D Part.If your installation miss some d3dx9??dll files you could try to install them (again) with winetricks.
Its describe in the wiki too, just follow the Link:Here are the Steps too: 1. Create a Directory to be tidy. Change into the Directory.
Microsoft Windows
Download winetricks script with wget. And install d3dx9.$ mkdir winetricks$ cd winetricks$ wget$ sh./winetricks d3dx9If this not helped but you sure that your Ubuntu-Installation already able to Render (cause it works in other games Applications), check your regedit Settings about some Typos!
And its page in the Wiki. Hi again,first of all thanks for replying:)So I've done everything that you said: checked regedit for typos, installed d3dx9??dll files again with winetricks, I looked around and found in NVIDIA X Server Settings that Direct Rendering is supported (it says 'Yes'). Still keep getting the same error message.When I ran the game from terminal this is what I got:dreamfall.exefixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImplSetVolumePan (0x15f780,0x1682b8): stubfixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x1a4d4a0,0x00000000), stub!fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x1a4d6d4,0x00000000), stub!fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x1a4d940,0x00000000), stub!err:x11settings:X11DRVChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1024x768x32 @0!

err:x11settings:X11DRVChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1024x768x32 @0That's the message why the game will not start. I don't know your Desktop-Resolution, but if you have a high(er) resolution you could try to use the command iwinecfg/i switch to the Tab-Graphics and enable 'Emulate Virtual Screen' 1024x768. Then the game will start in 'a window'.My English is not so well and i use a german interface so it might be a bad translation.
But i hope you will find the settings.I don't know why your xserver is not able to switch this solution.Month before (i dont know if the actual Version 1.7.x will care about this) the user could handle this by editing (caution! If the config File is wrong your xserver (could) not start) the xorg.conf and enable/add these mode to the screen section. Like that:Section 'Screen'.Subsection 'Display'Depth 32Modes '1024x768'ViewPort 0 0EndSubsection.End SectionBefore you try to editing something like this try to google more Information about your Distribution and your Xserver-Settings. Maybe there should be an easier (GUI) Solution for this issue:). If you start the game in this Virtual Desktop you don't need changes in the xorg.conf. And maybe the issue have gone if you set the in-game-resolution one times to your native desktop resolution, and before you restart the game after the setting you could uncheck the virtual-desktop Option so that wine retry to lunch the game in full screen again.Add:In my Post before, the xorg.conf setting miss the white-Space so that this xorg.conf entry is not nearly perfect. But if check out the xorg.conf you will see what i mean.
But its better you don't need to touch that file anyway. I just want to adjust this here before someone edit this File that way and have.Have Fun during Playing the game! Oops, spoke too soon. So, the game.does. work, in the sense that it doesn't crash, starts loading, the ads in the beginning show ok, but then:I can see the menu, but there's no background picture.
Just black screen. And when I start new game, there is sound, speech, menu shows, and also those blue lines which mark the object you're focusing at show, but nothing else, it's all black.:( Really confused here. I played around a bit with regedit settings and wine cfg but nothing helps.Sorry to bother you again, if you have an idea how to fix this please do reply, If not that's ok, you've done enough already.;). This what you describe could be an issue with your graphic card, with your driver or (maybe) with another application that use behind. Like the 3D Desktop effects of Compiz.Will not blame only your card for this. But if you have played this game with the same hardware on windows it is likely that your card is not the fault.
If you sure your driver is up to date, you could also try to download a patch for that game.Sorry that i can't help further, here i install it again and all, just worked. I have a Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 with the Beta Driver 256.53.Bye the Way: I checked if its working together with compiz and it does. Just the framerate is a little minor. Hi,I thought it'd be fun to install and run Dreamfall on Linux but it isn't:-(I followed the HowTo and every time I start the game, it's fine to start with. The opening advertisements are a bit sluggish, but ok. The whole menu works and changing settings works too.
The problem comes when I click on New Game. The game starts loading and then it dies every time in the same place, before it's fully loaded. The last output in the terminal is:fixme:d3dshader:shaderarbloadnp2fixupconstants Nonexistent texture is flagged for NP2 texcoord fixupAnd before that line there are loads of 'fixme:d3d9:D3DPERF Events'. I'm using a no-cd crack otherwise the game wouldn't start at all. I copied the d3dx927.dll from my windows installation. I installed Dreamfall with PlayOnLinux and used 2 different wine versions: 1.1.29 and 0.9.53 (below someone said the game worked perfectly on the latter).I tried to google the error message but no luck. Any ideas how I could work around this error?Cheers.

Hi,thanks for your reply. I have now tried wine version 1.1.18 and no luck.
I also copied the other dll file (36). The game and X server hang with the same error (about d3dshader). The only way to get anything out of the computer after it hangs like that is the combo: ALT + PRINT SCREEN + R E I S U B.I guess I should try it out without PlayOnLinux and maybe also on other systems (my main system is Linux Mint 7, but I also have Ubuntu 9.10 x64 alpha 6). I only need to find some time to play with that. I' followed the ubove directions. It then complained of not finding the cd (which I don't have). I am still seeing the cursor, but as said it might be a problem with my graphics settings, not the game.
The cursor shows in the middle of the screen and attracts the 'real' cursor (so there are two cursors) a bit like a magnet.The loading screen works again.The cellphone still hasn't got its proper 'skin' (should be gray not purple), when selecting a person the graphic is wrong, and the in-game BIK videos (on TV screens) still do not play, although the BIK videos at startup (ATI/Alienware/etc.) do play.Plays very smoothly though. With Wine 0.9.19 Dreamfall can be made to run but with graphical glitches.If vertex shaders are enabled to 'hardware' or 'emulation' it runs stably, but you get a black screen.
Fonts seem to render perfectly fine (i can see the subtitles) and some 'particle effects' can be seen but everything else is completely black which renders the game unplayable.If vertex shaders are disabled, more graphical objects can be seen on-screen but the game is very unstable and will crash before you get to play it.Sound seems to be fine. The company logo intros are very slow and has stuttery sound, but the game itself seems to have no sound problems (so far).
