Prerequisites (Winetricks)

On 21-Jan-2016 I filled a ticket on Github Winetricks to add a missing DLLs for VCRUN2015 for this game as I did for PCSX2. My patch was updated/added to the winetricks repo on 22-Jan-2016 by a committer

Check that your winetricks version is up-to-date

git clone https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.git
cd winetricks/src

1. Set up a new WINEPREFIX (highly recommended)

   export WINEPREFIX=/some/path/where/to/install/the/game

2. Install Steam

   ./winetricks --no-isolate-steam

   after that
   • Log into your own Steam account using your own credentials
   • Install the game DON'T RUN IT FOR THE MOMENT.

Steam and Fake installations

This game requires a couple of dependancies. We are going to make Steam believe that all dependencies are already installed using a registry file

• Once the game is downloaded
• Get back to your terminal and check that $WINEPREFIX is still available
• Copy/paste the following commands

  cat << _EOF_ > /tmp/Grim_Dawn.reg
  REGEDIT4
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2010]
  "x86"=dword:00000001
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2012]
  "x86 Update 4"=dword:00000001
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2015]
  "x86 14.0.23026.0"=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 Client Profile]
  "4.0 Client Profile"=dword:00000001
  _EOF_
  

• Now load the temporary registry file using regedit

  regedit /tmp/Grim_Dawn.reg

• Now it is time to installed those dependancies through winetricks

  cd /path/where/your/new/winetricks/src/
  ./winetricks -q vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2015 dotnet40

This game was out/released on Friday 15-Jan-2016 for Steam.

Winetricks (to play cinematics)

To play cinematics we have to install Windows Media Player 9.

winetricks -q wmp9

Video (Youtube) - Hig Graphic Settings

Vide below duration is about 45 minutes. I just wanted to check if we get decent FPS to play this game with High Graphic Settings. Obviously it works with Gallium Nine

Game works with Open Source Drivers. Got 60 FPS flawlessly

For the video below myxbox 360 controler is plugged/used. I used Antimicro to get my controler to work

On Friday 15-Jan-2016 this week I was able to test "Rock Zombie" using Mesa/RadeonSI. Game works great! I am currently trying to get my xbox360 contoler usable with this game. Video for this game should be uploaded on Youtube tonight (CET) or Saturday morning (CET)

What's next?

As of 15-Jan-2016

• "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" will be released/out on Steam today. I will try this game this weekend.
• For other games I don't really know
