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

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)

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

2. Video (Youtube)

3. Antimicro

sudo apt-get install antimicro

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 .

Full final version 1.0.4.1 was released on 19-Nov-2015. For this version game works perfectly on my Linux 32 Bit.

Below are the 3 games tested this week on Wine-Staging 1.7.55 patched with Gallium Nine

• PCSX2 - Zombie Hunters 2 and SoulCalibur III
• PCSX2 - God of War I and II
• Steam - Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

About Wine-Staging 1.7.55 and Gallium Nine

• Latest patches from Wine-Staging 1.7.55
• Latest patches from Gallium-Nine
• Two patches for Steam

Having a look in latest paches for Gallium-Nine I noticed that iXit Team took decision to implement "Staging" Tab (winecfg) as it is done through Wine-Staging.

Winecfg: Checkbox for Gallium-Nine added to "Staging" Tab by iXit Team

I took decision to merge both "Original Staging" Tab implemented by wine-staging team and "Staging Tab" for Gallium-Nine implemented by iXit Team. Here is the output

my New Winecfg: Checkbox for Gallium-Nine added to "Original Staging" Tab

• I downloaded wine 1.7.55 sources
• I applied all patches from Wine-Staging 1.7.55
• I updated/applied all latest patches from Gallium-Nine. There was only a few minor updates to do manually. A couple of patches haven't been applied but I updated manually a few files :).

PCSX2 and Visual C++ 2015

As of 08-Nov-2015, all native PCSX2 releases are built using Visual C++ 2015. For the past weeks there was an issue for vcrun015. This issue is now fixed for winetricks over 25-Nov-2015. You just need to be sure to have the latest version of winetricks from git

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

/path/to/your/winetricks -q --force vcrun2015
