I shared a youtube video about Warframe a couple months ago. For this old video, WarFrame was installed from the installer provided on http://www.warframe.com. Today I decided to publish a new video for Steam -- WarFrame is available on Steam too --.

Build/Patch/Install Wine 1.7.1

1. Donwload wine 1.7.1 sources. Uncompress sources

   tar cvjf wine-1.7.1.tar.bz2
   cd wine-1.7.1

2. Patch it with http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6901628/disable-dynamic-vertex-buffers.patch

   wget -q "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6901628/disable-dynamic-vertex-buffers.patch" -O - | patch -p1

3. Install

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine/apps/WarFrame_Steam && make -j4 && make install

Winetricks

1. Update temporary your PATH environment to point to the new wine directory

   export PATH=/opt/wine/apps/WarFrame_Steam/bin/:$PATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wine/apps/WarFrame_Steam/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
   export WINEPREFIX="/opt/wine/datas/WarFrame_Steam"

2. Check that you have the latest winetricks script. Else download it

   wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
   chmod +x winetricks

3. Steam and DirectX components have to be installed

   ./winetricks --no-isolate d3dx9 xact_jun2010 steam

You have to do this before installing the game. Else while the launcher is trying to install DirectX components then it may fail!

Steam and fixed issues

1. Subscribe to warframe (http://www.warframe.com). Credentials are required so you can log in
2. Launch Steam. Log in using your Steam account. Download WarFrame
3. Fixed issue:Once the game had been downloaded, the launcher may hang. To fix it either refer to the beginning of the Youtube Video to bypass it or just run the following commands

   cd $WINEPREFIX
   cd drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/
   cd SteamApps/common/Warframe/Tools/
   mv Launcher.exe.tmp Launcher.exe

4. Fixed issue: Framelate could be very slow. To fix it you have to set up twice your video settings (refer to the beginning of the video)

Scarlet Blade runs perfectly on Wine 1.5.25. No patche required! However credentials submittion failed for wine > 1.5.26. It failed with error

Write 1.6.0 has to be patched so SB could be played.
