As of 01-Dec-2015 current repo for Wine/Gallium-Nine is still available for wine-1.7.55. A couple weeks ago I took decision to merge to new feature added byt iXit Team - the Staging Tab - to latest wine-staging sources. Moreoever there are currently two known patches that I added for Steam

Back to one of my favorite games Darksiders II. It is pretty nice to see that this game works great with Gallium Nine

As prerequisites I had to install vcrun2010 and d3dcompiler_43. That's all

winetricks vcrun2010 d3dcompiler_43

I had to patch Mesa 3D to get this game playable else I got a crash. Patch I used is http://www.davidgis.fr/download/patches/Age_Of_Conan_Mesa-3D_R600_2015-11-28.patch. I should not patch Mesa to play this game but this is the quickiest way I found :). To improve FPS I had to use

export WINEDEBUG=-all

Age Of Conan Unchained | Wine-Staging 1.7.55 | RadeonSI | ATI HD 7970

This game works pretty well with wine-staging 1.7.55 and Open Source Drivers for my ATI HD 7970 (graphic card). It is strongly recommended to use a controller. Since I own a xbox360 controller that's the reason why I use Antimicro.

1. Installation (and workaround for .NET issue)

Steam will try to install .net framework each time you launch the game. There is a workaround for this issue

Open a linux terminal
• Write a temporay registry file. Loading this temporary file in our registries DB will set all dependancies as installed (whereas it is a fake installation letting Steam believe that all dependancies have been installed). This way you won't meet issue for .NET)

  cat << _EOF_ > /tmp/fake.reg
  REGEDIT4
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\PhysX]
  "9.14.0702"=dword:00000001
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\.NET\3.5]
  "3.5 SP1"=dword:00000001
  _EOF_
  

• Load this temporary registry file

  regedit /tmp/fake.reg

• Install both .NET 3.5SP1 and .NET 4 using winetricks silently (it should take a while!)

  winetricks -q dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 vcrun2010

• Install Steam

  winetricks --no-isolate steam

• Buy and play the game. First time you launch the game Steam will install UEngine 3. Its installation should be OK

3. Antimicro

If you own a xbox360 controller as me then you can install antimicro

sudo apt-get install antimicro

Plug your xbox360 controler

Launch the game. Go to "Options" in-game. Using "ALT (Left)"+"TAB" then you should be able to switch between the game window and antimicro window. Doing that you should be able to adjust antimicro to your own needs. Adjusting your xbox 360 controller should be done only once

Each time you want to play this game don't forget to start antimicro first .
