Additional Comments

rig: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @3,2 ghz, 8 GB 1333mhz ram, Nvidia GTX 560 Ti 1GB, kernel 3.2.0 , nvidia driver ver 295.20 , ext4 filesystem
game settings: 1920x1080, maxed details from game(except view distance at half). AA4x and AF 8x forced from nvidia-settings

according to FPS addon, it runs mostly above 60 Fps. Heavy Keep Fights kills framerate a lot. To 15 fps only when about 50+ players around u and attacking (but happens on windows also, game engine issue)

vertex blending patch was used to compile wine. otherwise characters wont render.

game opens on both screens when twinview enabled. have to manually set 2 metamodes via xorg.conf and then run xrandr -s 1 after game is launched, to be able to use second monitor separately

Known issues and workarounds
Game hangs on "Handshaking" when connecting to server

For some reason, the Warhammer Online login code makes a request for the Linux entropy source /dev/random, which Wine (bug 15883) allows. Warhammer Online then drains that file, and keeps waiting for more entropy to appear.

The workaround for now is to install something that adds entropy. Choices include the rng-tools or randomsound packages, or moving your mouse cursor around.

Note that randomsound requires a microphone plugged in to be useful, and rng-tools requires that your computer has a hardware RNG present.

As an absolute last resort, you can recycle your urandom device back into your entropy pool; this may compromise the quality of your entropy pool, and hence nearly any secure communications undertaken by your machine (eg the actual WAR login handshake itself!) so I do not recommend this method.

The commands below fix this issue in Debian-based distributions.

sudo apt-get install rng-tools
edit /etc/default/rng-tools
add this: HRNGDEVICE=/dev/urandom
sudo /etc/init.d/rng-tools start

Character models do not render, just their weapons

This means you aren't using a patched Wine, as per the HOW-TO.

You need to rebuild Wine with source patched to report a feature Wine doesn't support, and that WAR doesn't use, so that WAR will us a feature that Wine does support.

See bug 14608 for the long answer.

A patch to implement this feature has been created by Claudio Ciccani, and the most recent version can be found in bug 6955.

GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY errors after playing for a little while

Possibly bug 13335, try the mmap and malloc patches from that bug and see if they help.

I'm not sure how to progress this upstream yet, still need the patches reviewed for sanity.

Direct-fire weapons are unusable due to mouse control weirdness

Probably due to bug 6971. Or at least I hope so.

No workaround yet, sorry. Just throw your knives, axes or anything else not tied down at the enemy.

Patcher window doesn't appear, seems to hang after "fixme:shdocvw:PersistStorage_InitNew (0x132118)->(0x7c26d0)"

This is some kind of threading issue. Kill the patcher and try again. Consider running another Wine application first (eg. winecfg) and then retrying the patcher. Another possible workaround is to run wineboot -e or wineboot -r in another terminal, although some people report that also kills the patcher. See bug 15323 for details. Comment 12 has a hack-patch that might improve things.

 

 
WARNING

Warhammer Online requires a patched build of Wine to render characters properly. Compiling Wine from source carries the risk of conflicting with your distribution's or WineHQ's packaged Wine binaries.

See http://winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source for very basic compilation instructions.

When you build a copy of Wine, there will be a wine symlink at the top of the build tree (ie. where you ran make from) which you can use to run programs with that Wine version without needing to install it.


 
Ubuntu HOWTO version 1.1.33

Copy your Warhammer installation folder to the ~/WAR folder, then follow the steps below to get it working!

Most commands are in terminal. (If you do not have preinstalled files, you can create a folder on the desktop with the name WAR. Then copy the data on the DVD’s folders data1 and data2 to ~/WAR.) Some commands will require a sudo to execute with elevated privileges. Start in your ~/Downloads folder for best results.

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
echo 'deb-src http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe multiverse' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
(Adds repository that allows you to download build-dep wine)

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep wine
(installs all the dependencies in order to build wine from source)

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.1.33.tar.bz2
tar -xjf wine-1.1.33.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.1.33
(Downloads wine source and extracts it, then goes into the folder)

wget http://download227.mediafire.com/vvmtyjz0jjag/i4hycqw5jht/warhack_1.1.33.patch
patch -p0 < warhack_1.1.33.patch
(downloads and applies a fix for a model rendering bug into wine)

link to:Patch implementing software vertex blending in wine-1.1.39

!!Current asks which file to patch!!
wget http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25040 -O winepatch_1.1.34.patch
patch -p0 < winepatch_1.1.34.patch
(downloads and installs a patch for software vertex blending for wine 1.1.34)

./tools/wineinstall
(installs wine)

winecfg
Change Windows Version: Windows XP
(works best with windows xp mode)

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
./winetricks directx9
(download, set execute permission, then execute directx9 for wine. Install with all default settings.)

sudo apt-get install rng-tools
edit /etc/default/rng-tools
add this HRNGDEVICE=/dev/urandom
sudo /etc/init.d/rng-tools start
(increases entropy register, fixes hang at ‘handshaking’ during login)

mv ~/WAR ~/.wine/drive_c/WAR
(moves WAR installation from your home folder to a place wine can see)

d3dx9_34.dll
d3dx9_26.dll
(Copy these dll’s to your ~/.wine/drive_c/WAR folder)

winhttp.dll
(Copy this dll to your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 folder)

WAR.sh
chmod +x WAR.sh
(Copy this script to your Desktop or wherever you’d like the game launcher. Chmod makes the file executable.)
–OR–
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/WAR|WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine warpatch.bin
(just type this in terminal to play)

For best results, when you enter the game, set the graphics to Fastest Framerate.

working on Mint 12
by B.Collins on Monday June 11th 2012, 14:02
I didn't need to do any of this, I just followed the instructions for Wrath of Heroes. I had to compile Wine 1.3.30 because .28 and .29 had problems.

It may go without saying, but you should install libraries for ALSA4 and open GL using synaptic (ie: liboss4-salsa2 and libgui-dev). I also had to drop wined3d_gl.h into /includes/wine.

WAR is running perfectly now in Mint.

Character Model Rendering Fix

Possible simpler workaround for /dev/random
by ecd on Sunday November 13th 2011, 10:59
The issue of slow login/handshake times due to a blocking /dev/random seems to be the same issue as Dark Age of Camelot has.

To work around that, I often have just ran "winecfg" and removed the "/" drive mapping. It made logging into DAoC instantaneous (rather than requiring a possible 5 minute wait). This workaround seems simpler than the ones proposed in the how-to on this page. Plus, do you really want your windows apps to have access to your root filesystem?

(BTW, none of this is necessary on FreeBSD since it uses a non-blocking /dev/random)

Now I can't seem to get past the "loading zone" screen after you hit play (Such as Loading Nordland). if anyone knows how to fix this bug (with steps/file) I would greatly appreciate it, i'm new to wine and linux and really want to get this working.

endless troubles of a linux newbie
by Jason J on Sunday June 27th 2010, 12:42
I can't for the life of me get this working, I have very little experience with linux but decided to tackle this head on with less than desirable results. I have tried using older versions of wine which the patch has been posted for but never really had any success, to list the errors etc would just be huge wall of text, ill just post my latest problem and try to go from there. I tried using wine 1.1.33 as I had the patch and thought the process would just be easier, however due to many previous attempts at compiling wine and installing etc I have binary conflicts and don't exactly know where these are. I just need to know how to get rid of these and where I can get a patch for rc5.

Please help I miss the waaaaargh :p

Works Perfectly.
by Mikee on Friday March 19th 2010, 17:32
We'll until we get full wine support the game is almost working perfect under Cedega but Warhammer also customized some of its engine to work with the cider API.

Getting 30-80 FPS with Cedega but this is only for people who rather spend $25 than spend boot back into windows.

Wine is making some great progress though lets hope they implement the fixed function pipeline soon.

Vertex Blending
by Jeppe Winther on Tuesday May 26th 2009, 18:41
Woa, gotta appreciate the work put in here, lovely stuff.

Still though, I seem to be stuck with a bit of a problem.

Game crashes with this error:
fixme:d3d:state_vertexblend_w Vertex blending enabled, but not supported by hardware
wine client error:2f: write: Bad file descriptor

the error number seems to vary, seen error:40, error:20, error:37 and other numbers as well.

I can't figure out why it happens on other chars, not big enough sample size, but I have been able to reproduce it consistently in the Dwarven starting area, using those guns to shoot down Orcs. Seems to crash as soon as I the shot impacts, although I am not entirely sure. Hard to test due to the mouse behaviour being strange, too high sensibility and can't change direction until I've touched the extreme edges of the "screen".

Playing at with all settings to Fastest Framerate / Off on an NVidia 8600M, dual core laptop, Ubuntu 8.04.


Also, is there a way to get past the Handshaking bit that doesn't involve 15-20 seconds of mouse flailing? That'd make it faster to test this stuff.

by Grrblt on Monday April 6th 2009, 7:55
I'm running 1.1.18 patched and my WAR gets as far as the first loud sound with a black screen (where you'd normally see the EA logo), and then crashes. It was installed under 1.1.18 unpatched - if that will mess things up I need directions to uninstall it since clicking the normal Uninstall Warhammer Online thing from the main menu does nothing.

Graphics
by Michiel on Monday April 6th 2009, 7:05
Using the registry entries
HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D
- Multisampling enabled
- OffscreenRenderingMode backbuffer
- PixelShaderMode enabled
- UseGLSL enabled
- VertexShaderMode hardware
- VideoMemorySize 512

I get good results in 1024x768 mode, some weird rendering at times but it is playable and can even increase details to a nice level. Yet sometimes getting some flickering on my screen, but not too much of a disturbance.

However when I try 1680x1050 all rendering seems to be off:
- black spots on the floor
- lines on the ground
- ground looks very "patched" (made out of distinguishable squares)

Anyone know if there are other registry settings that may improve and allow 1680x1050?

Fixing Patch wine-1.1.8
by Juan on Sunday March 15th 2009, 16:08
Ok, i have being watching the patch and i think i have fixed it, in fact there wasn't too much to fix i recommend you to do all the steps above but using the fixed patch if you are using wine-1.1.17, also i recommend to use this script once you have already used the other.



Script:

Use it after using the other script that is posted in the howto: i have it in my WAR folder but i think it works everywhere, if it doesn't work the first time try to click it again, it removes the fixmes so gives a better perfomance

www.mediafire.com/download.php?0wtywzjen1j

Patch: I think this patch isnt needed anymore it only comments a line and i think it isnt important.

Performance is low and I can see some lines at the ground.

seems to fix this issue by disabling the shader optimization:
fixme:d3d9:IDirect3DDevice9Impl_CreateSurface (0x14b678) call to IWineD3DDevice_CreateSurface failed

but it generates this:

fixme:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_load_constants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUniform4fvARB @ glsl_shader.c / 530

Maybe it will give someone a hint. :)

My launch script:

wineserver -k
cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warhammer"
chmod -R +x *
wine warpatch.exe

The wineserver -k is necessary to stop any running wine processes. Without that, the game won't start if you are impatient and start it again too soon. The chmod +x is necessary because the patcher running under wine is not setting executable permissions. With this script, the game launches about 90% of the time so if it fails, wait a few seconds and run it again. You don't need to install directx9, you can just copy the d3d9_36.dll to your warhammer folder. The patch in the howto is necessary, however, to make your character visible. To patch wine, you don't need to compile the whole thing, takes 20 minutes. You can just ./configure and run "make" inside the wine dll folder of the file that was patched and then copy the compiled dll to your existing wine install. Takes maybe 2 minutes to patch that way.

This is an interesting link regarding the bad texture issue.

Installing from Disc
by Aziz Mandar on Sunday October 5th 2008, 1:44
After reading the notes on the latest test then reading the comments on how to get it running I realized we are missing how to install from Disc.

The Install program does not work so don't try and use it.

Instead copy the contents of the Folder 'data1' from DISC 1 and 'data2' from DISC 2 to a directory in the drive_c folder of your .wine folder. (I called it WAR) Then follow the directions above.
