This game is F2P (FreeToPlay). It is almost like GTA (even if I didn't play GTA )

1. Patch for wine

You have to patch Wine so this game can work.

• You can download my own sources for Wine-Staging 1.8.0 patched with Gallium-Nine
• After that you have to apply this patch https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=51697

  cd /path/to/Wine/Sources
  wget "https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=51697" -O - |patch -p1

3. Prerequisites

winetricks -q dotnet20 ie8

For the peace of mind try this

winetricks -q dotnet20 ie8 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012

4. Tips to know

The launcher freezes trying to re-install "Client1.19....zip"

• Kill the game

  wineserver -k

• Relaunch Steam and the game. Sometime you may have to do this 2 or 3 times. To be honest I don't really know why

The game takes a lot of times to start

• It should take from 20 to 50 seconds to start as shown in video above

A pretty good FPS. I received my new AMD card (Sapphire R9 280X). It was the occasion to switch to this new card although R9 280X is just a HD 7970 OC card (OC = Over Clocked), based on Tahiti. I should have the same performance

Tips to know (360° rotation for mouse)

360° Rotation with mouse

• (winecfg): Set up a virtual desktop (mine is 1920x1080).
• (winecfg): Check the box "Capture mouse pointer..."

Issue while quiting the game

The game freeze when I want to quit the game. I used a virtual desktop. This way I can open another terminal and use

wineserver -k

The game works out-of-the-box.

To reduce FPS lost while recording I had to reduce framerate option for ffmpeg using this command. Based on results above I lost less than 5% for FPS ( 0,043822687 = ( 5933 -5673 ) / 5933 )

ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -vn -c:a libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_he_v2 -movflags +faststart -b:a 64k -y test.m4a \
