Description
New improved graphics, new features, now steam supported.
Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works

Game installs without any problems and can be started after installing additional software - ­Visual Studio 2005 runtime and double starting the game after Punkbuster had crushed.


What does not

­Game doesn't start until you install ­Visual Studio 2005 runtime.

Punkbuster - it crushes when you try start the game for the first time after turning on your PC, you have to kill game process and start it again.

In-game mouse control - mouse doesn't run smoothly and often hangs.


What was not tested
Multiplayer


Additional Comments

With this mouse bug precise aiming is hard, often impossible because mouse would lock-in and doesn't allow you to turn into direction when target is.

Bug # Description Status Resolution Other apps affected
24417 America's Army 3 crashes because of d3dcompiler NEW View
25735 America's Army 3 ingame mouse control broken (block, lock, no smoothness) UNCONFIRMED View

 
AA3 fails to run, no error message displayed (text in console)

A large number of errors such as the following may be seen when launched from a terminal:

 err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\america's army 3\\Binaries\\wxmsw28u_vc_custom.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\america's army 3\\Binaries\\wxmsw28u_vc_custom.dll") not found

This suggests that the Visual Studio 2005 runtime is not installed. The easiest way to work around this is 'winetricks vcrun2005'.

If a similar error for d3dx10_35.dll is seen, the DirectX installer (in steamapps/common/america's army 3/DirectX) should be rerun. (In my case it hung during the Steam-started install and had to be rerun manually after Steam had finished its setup procedure). This does not seem to be needed with wine-1.2rc7.


 
WINE must be up to date
While testing on my server, which was running the latest release of WINE in the Ubuntu repositories, I encountered severe install issues. Make sure that you are running the latest version from the WINE repositories.

 
Workaround for Steam hyperlink / protocol handling issue

Workaround for mouse bug (partial fix)
Similar problem has been discussed:
appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5444

A patch may be downloaded at fxlegrand.free.fr/index.php?page=patches. Decompress and copy to /usr/lib/wine/ or /usr/lib32/wine (on amd64 installs). It is crucial that you make a copy of the original dinput.dll.so before replacing it.

Unfortunately, this patch also prevents use of the menus. The best option I have seen to date is to play training missions unpatched. To play online, open the game unpatched, open the server browser, and find a server you like. Write down the IP address, then close AA and apply the patch. Open AA, then pull up the console using the tilde (~) key and run "open (ip address)". You will not be able to use the in-game menus for class selection but keyboard shortcuts (tab/space/arrow keys, etc) provide most functionality. Restore the original dinput.dll.so  when done playing.

AA3 crashes instantly when run from steam but for some reason will run from terminal and then crash a few seconds after running it in terminal. Heres the output. Can someone help me fix this ive really been wanting to play aa3 with one of my friends

Still can't launch the game
by Vlad on Wednesday December 9th 2009, 0:45
Guys, I need your help. I dont know why but I still can not launch AA3. I get message about MS C++ runtime library, but i've already installed it by winetricks. If i try to install VCredist from howto link, it says that ms installer is busy or now properly installed.. What should I do?
P.S. ms installer is installed by winetricks too

Patch: mouse for menus and playing
by David Vuorio on Sunday September 6th 2009, 5:21
Similar ugly hack of mine to get mouse access for menus and everything else:
www.wtfm.org/aa3-wine

Turn the mouse wheel one step in either direction to toggle modes. Not an ideal solution for several reasons, but it might be overkill to do more right now. More instructions on the page.

Mouse workaround not work
by ZeXx86 on Sunday July 26th 2009, 14:51
Thanks for nice howto - game works for me quite well, but there is same mouse bug as in UT3 and other games - workaround posted in HowTo stucks my mouse cursor in center of the screen so I can't choose anything in menu - I think it works same as regedit variable MouseWarpOverride with value "force". Btw game crash for me in some training levels, but graphics is practical without any glitches - of course, FPS is not appropriate to my machine but enough.
