Someone else was supposed to try to make a video on youtube for this game. But without any new for a couple of days I took decision to test it myself. Well wel well...

Steam and dependancies

There are a couple of packages to install through winetricks with this game.

winetricks -q vcrun2008sp1 vcrun2010 d3dcompiler_43 dotnet40

Unfortunately Steam will try to reinstall a couple of these packages each time you want to launch the game. So here is the trick. As usual we will make Steam believe that all dependancies are already installed.

1. Create a temporary registry file Lost_Planet_3.reg

   david@amdgaming:~$ cat << _EOF_ > Lost_Planet_3.reg
   REGEDIT4
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2008]
   "x86 SP1"=dword:00000001
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2010]
   "x86"=dword:00000001
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010]
   "dxsetup"=dword:00000001
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\.NET\4.0]
   "4.0"=dword:00000001
   
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
   "FontSmoothing"="2"
   "FontSmoothingTypeFontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
   "FontSmoothingGammaFontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
   "FontSmoothingOrientationFontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
   _EOF_

2. Load it using regedit

   regedit Lost_Planet_3.reg

In this ticket I share the first tests I did for LLVM 3.9.0. Since we are in April 2016 then LLVM 3.9 is currently being developped. So it is time to test it . For my own tests I am using cmake version 2.8.12.2

root@amdgaming:~# cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.12.2

LLVM is required to play native Windows games on Linux through Wine when you use Open Source Drivers (Mesa/xf86-video-ati/Gallium Nine). I need LLVM so I can use SIScheduler (R600_DEBUG=sisched) for a couple of games to come.

Then let's go!

• Create a folder for source

  mkdir -pv /opt/Sources/llvm-3.9.0_$(date -I)
  cd /opt/Sources/llvm-3.9.0_$(date -I)

• Download latest LLVM sources and clang sources from SVN Repo

  svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
  cd llvm/tools/
  svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang

• It is recommended to build LLVM binairies out of llvm sources folder. We will create another folder

  mkdir -pv /opt/Builds/llvm-3.9.0_$(date -I)_build
  cd /opt/Builds/llvm-3.9.0_$(date -I)_build

• Configure LLVM using cmake

  cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" \
  	-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/llvm/3.7.0 \
  	-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=Off \
  	-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
  	-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  	-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="AMDGPU;X86" \
  		/opt/Sources/llvm-3.9.0_$(date -I)/llvm/

  Notices
  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to /opt/llvm/3.7.0. I started my tests on LLVM for version 3.7 in 2015. Since 2015 on my Ubuntu 14.10 computer I am used to reuse the same folder to test llvm. (perhaps I should update it to /opt/llvm/3.9.0/ ?)
  • -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS is set to ON to make life easier for Mesa when Mesa will be linked to LLVM. LLVM is built statically (unless I am wrong?)
  • -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release avoids to get an annoying issue while ld is trying to link everything for libclang.so. We avoid the error "Memory exhausted" = not enough memory.
  • -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="AMDGPU;X86" are specific targets (AMDGPU support and x86 for my Linux 32 Bits). Specifying targets helps
    • to reduce targets lists and avoid to build unused targets
    • to reduce expected time to build llvm. It is well known that LLVM takes a lot of time to be built
• Build

  make -j4

• Install

  make install

Since February 2016 I maintain another web page so you can download easily latest Wine-Staging Sources repatched with Gallium Nine. Archives are available too.

• Main Web page for Wine 1.9/Mesa 11.2/Gallium Nine
• Wine-Staging sources repatched with Gallium Nine (Latest and Archived Sources). Please have a look in the table and the comments column to have a brief description.

Sources for Wine-Staging 1.9.7 and Gallium Nine are available on mediafire.com http://www.mediafire.com/download/418h06bsep1cc93/Wine-Staging-1.9.7_Gallium-Nine_Steam-Hacks.tar.bz2

I play this game since January 2016. Today I am finaly in the TOP 50 users for my playtime through 15-Feb-2016 - 21-Feb-2016. That's the first time I won something . Well 53 hours is low compared to 150 hours for the 1st one. This is not too bad . My current challenge is to play this game with limited resources (no OP weapon from DLC) Original news: http://steamcommunity.com/games/366160/announcements/detail/857178084759072510
