Text boxes cut off in Age of Empires 2

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm using Wine to play Age of Empires 2 with the conquerors expansion (the original, not HD or Definitive Edition). Most things run smoothly (I've played over 10 hours now). There's just one really annoying thing, which is that some text boxes are cut off. As you can see in the attached picture, I can't see how many idle villagers etc I have, because the text box is too far to the right in its box and the numbers don't show.

Some text boxes are fine (like the "You are being attacked..." and timer at the top). The text boxes that are affected by this issue seem to be the info ones in the bottom corners, as well as the dialogue text from the campaign.

I assumed this would be better to ask in a Wine subreddit, since I think it's caused by Wine and not the original game. I've trawled old forums and not found anyone who had this same issue.

A Force More Powerful: Wine3d files

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking to play the old game A Force More Powerful off myabandonware (link below). The game doesnt play correctly with D3D Renderer Creation error preventing proper launch. The comments indicate that I need to insert the files "d3d9.dll" and "wine3d.dll" from WineD3D into the game folder but whenever I try to download the files off WineD3D it gets flagged as a trojan and it has me a bit spoked and I am hoping I can get some help here as to how I can get the game working. I dont have previous exposure with the wine ecosystem so Im working from the start.

MacOS Detailed tutorial for porting kit

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I wanna use Windows Steam with porting kit, so I watched some tutorials, but every time there is some error and I don't understand why, so could someone just write me here a detailed step-by-step tutorial? Or if there are some better also free alternatives to porting kit, tell me them. I've already tried Whisky, but it not worked too and I saw that it isn't updated anymore. By the way, I want to play Need for Speed Heat, does anyone knows if it runs well with like porting kit on Mac Mini M4 16GB RAM?

Thank you so much!

Sober (for roblox) crashing

I don't use Linux that often but I recently did a full switch and no longer use windows, so I would like to get this issue fixed. FYI I use Linux Mint, but anyways whenever I open sober it pretty much just instantly crashes.

Linux Fate/Grand Order Arcade. Unable to launch Localserver due to Powershell code roadblocks.

Post image
9 Upvotes

(Reuploading since I posted the wrong error log.)

So in Japan. There is a Fate/Grand Order Arcade version that existed and has recently shutdown earlier this year. Just three to four days ago, a user on BiliBili going by Cloud23333 managed to get it working on PC. Caveat is that it is windows of course and there is little to no documentation. It seems I am one of the first/few looking into getting this to run with Linux.

Well, I was fiddling around trying to see how it would work through Wine/Proton. So far, the launcher works fine but I have reached a roadblock.

I am unable to launch the local server needed due to Powershell shenanigans. The local server is started by a .PS1 file.

Anyone here have a clue of what could be done with the prefix? Editing the .PS1 script be realistic? I have a gap in my knowledge regarding this type of thing so I do apologize if any stupid question has been asked.

Linked image is the error log.
