Can't run STALKER SoC on Wine?

A/S-H · 06-06-2014, 02:55 PM

I have recently installed my dvd copy of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (US version, 1.0005) on Ubuntu. When I right click 'XR_3DA' and select 'open with Wine Windows Program Loader', I get a small transparent box in the middle of the screen which makes it look like STALKER is about to run but it then cancels for some reason (no error message). Could anybody please point me in the right direction?
I have the OGSE 0.6.9.2. mod installed if that helps

According to the Wine Application Database you need to configure Wine to use the native openal32.dll, otherwise the game will freeze on startup.

Thanks I've gotten a step further by adding the .dll to Wine but now when I right click and "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader", my screen compresses to the side a bit (resolved after restarting) and I get the error message "A crash has been detected by BugTrap".

Start the game from the commandline, so that you can see actual error messages.

Sorry I haven't been around a while, here is the terminal message:

Code:

asano-h@asanoh-Inspiron-1564:~$ wine "/home/asano-h/GSC Game World/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl/bin/XR_3DA.exe"
fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__set_abort_behavior _WRITE_CALL_REPORTFAULT unhandled

fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpFilterMemory
fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpScanMemory
fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpWithDataSegs

and the Bugtrap error report:

Code:

XR_3DA.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "Z:\home\asano-h\GSC Game World\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\xrCore.dll" at 0073:00587CB5

Hope that helped

Things have changed since last time; I now have the OL 2.2 + Arsenal Mod (with merging patch) and the game runs until I run any process that involves a game save (creating or loading one), like starting a new game or entering a new area. I can't find any Thumbs.db files to remove, and I get the same Bugtrap error message as before. Suggestions?
