WINE?

[marcmagus]

I'm pretty excited to play this, and do hope for a SteamOS/Linux release in the future as alluded to in another thread, but appreciate that might be a long time coming.

In the meantime, I was wondering if anybody from the development team could offer any insight into the likelihood of this working under WINE. I can just wait until reviews turn up on WineHQ, but a knowledgeable positive comment would encourage me to risk my money right away (and write such a review).

It works fine under Linux through Wine. I've created a WINEHQ page waiting for review. If you use Winetricks and install the following:

d3dx9 d3dx9_28 d3dx9_36 d3dx10 d3dxof

everything will work fine.

I've already submitted my WINE report under the Sora no Kiseki WINEHQ page (creating a new version "Steam"), which you can see at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=30719&iTestingId=85496. As z1lt0id said, having the standard DirectX stuff installed through Winetricks that you need for most games on WINE allows Trails in the Sky to run fine, but don't alt-tab out or the game will crash!

Cool. I submitted a new app because I couldn't find it, also awaiting review. I had about the same results.

From a hint in the Linux thread I tried turning off the Steam overlay, which didn't seem to be working for me anyway. No more crashes on focus change!

Maybe this video from my youtube channel can help you

Cool, thanks!

Now in the AppDB under the English name at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=30736 -- more tests welcome.

I'm on a MAC (version 10.7.4) and Wine isn't working for me. Is there any help you or anyone can provide?

I already did install all those Winetricks.

The game just doesn't start...it's just a plain black screen when i run it.

I found I had to disable the movies (in the game's config) to prevent a similar problem. Maybe try that? (One is just the company splash screen, the other is right after the boy says "My name is..." and can be watched just fine in a regular video player so you don't miss it)

You can also just mash whatever your Cancel key is mapped to, that's how you skip the videos when they do work and that does skip the nonexistent videos in WINE.

A similar issue I ran into is with the ending cutscene. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, where it's actually kinda playing the video but showing a black screen, and if I'd have received the ending screen by waiting, but I wanted to see the cutscene anyways so I just booted a Windows install to finish the game =/
