Killing Floor

As of Wine 1.3.21 everything is working perfect :)

www.gamefront.com/files/20357915/dinput.dll.so

replace old file in /usr/lib/wine as root

Thanks :)

So where can i find the mouse patch the link goes to a french site i dont understand.

As of wine wine 1.3.20 i have a broken mouse :(. worked flawlessly in
Wine 1.2.3 with the mouse fix

Hi, i use the reg fix
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/DirectInput/MouseWarpOverride = Force

Then find your killingfloor.ini and change your engine to D3DDrv e.g.



[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

then

StartupFullscreen=True

(just use the find tool)

then make a custom launcher for e.g. to make it launch in a virtual desktop

wine explorer /desktop=MyDesktopName,1366x768 "/home/nick/Games/Killing Floor/Play.exe"

I can confirm that this does not work.

oh whoops, this is for non steam version sorry.

Showing the game running really good!

No sound was from desktop recorder being strange - Sound usually works!

Running online really smooth no problems - With mousewarpoverride = force

It works great in singleplayer, mousewarpoverride set to force, But when i am on multiplayer the movement is very slow....Everything else runs fine but when i walk its so slow? But it is not like that in singleplay weirdly enough

This was the way that I got it to work.

In wine open regedit and navigate to:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\

Create a folder called DirectInput
Set the STRING VALUE: MouseWarpOverride = force

I recommend running play on linux and add this regiastry key to this application so it will not affect other apps that you have wine configured for.

I am a newb but this is what worked for me, hope it helps someone.

Hello guys Im newish to linux but especially wine. I had killing floor running perfect and I played through thanksgiving. Unfortunately when I switched monitors the resolution changed and the mouse bug brought me here. The fact was that I did have it working with no mouse escape problems. I cannot replicate this now, however and I did not think to check all my settings before. I know I had it running without virtual desktop and my screen resolution was either 1440x900 or 1024x768. I think it has something to do with the resolution of either the current x display or the killing floor game resolution and Im sorry I cant be more helpful.

Has there been any fix on the mouse escape bug? I'm playing Killing Floor and it seems that the bug that would make KF crash when looking up servers is gone. At least its gone on Arch Linux x86_64 - Wine 1.3.3, if that bug can be fix Killing Floor would definitely be gold/platinum (Motion Blur active still crashes KF).

Mouse escape bug isn't a problem with the latest patches in bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971

I've just had a long gaming session, playing KF for hours with 1.3.6 and the patch on bug 6971's comment 420. Did get a couple of crashes eventually... didn't know to disable motion blur so will give that a shot, although the console output hinted at a pulseaudio issue. Of the many levels I played there were two other issues I ran into.

1. A couple of weird keyboard issues, and even got into 3rd-person mode while playing online - something not supposed to be possible (and didn't work properly anyway). Disabling "Key presses repeat when key is held down" in GNOME Keyboard Preferences fixed all those.

2. At one point, the mouse stopped working at the start of a level. It was as if the mouse was disconnected. I even tried unplugging it and plugging it back in without success. :) In the end I just had to restart the game... so maybe the patch isn't perfect after all - but it's pretty darn close. I wasn't able to reproduce this.

The game is very playable under WINE. The frame rate was fine, audio and graphics all worked fine. Online play and Steam integration was fine (although didn't try being a MP server). The only problems at all that prevent this from being gold are those mentioned above, and the fact that you need to manually patch WINE to get the mouse working properly (for the moment).

Tested on a i7 950, GA-X58A-UD9, GTX480, 6Gb 1600 DDR3, 1920x1080 res, all graphical options enabled.

I got this app running in wine. It was a little buggy at first, and took months of forum hopping. Here is how I did it:

First off, start wine in a virtual desktop so it will still run the game, but it won't let it full screen. In lucid, if an app tries to fullscreen from wine it either kills it or puts it on a default minimum resolution.

After you get it to open, go to display settings and disable motion blur. Then uncheck full screen in the load options. you may get a crash at this, but that's ok, we need the settings to stick. Go ahead and start off with the minimal resolution.

Take wine off virtual desktop, if you don't want it. Open killing floor and set the resolution to be nice and big for your screen. if you go to high, it will just default at the low resolution again. you need the window big enough to keep the mouse inside it during gameplay, because it just won't do it with the render mode we'll have to use.

Open killingfloor.ini and edit [Engine.Engine]
[Engine.Engine]

;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice

;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice

RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

You can see I've been playing, the important part is the opengl rendering.

This works pretty well for solo play. I have not been able to join an online game w/o crashing strait from the menu, but I have been able to join through the buddy list.

If someone finds out how to fix the online menu, I'm very interested. I hope my info can lead to some improvements.

Regards,
Steve

So I just downloaded this game, and it gives me completely random crashes at different points in time before I even start to play a game! I tried turning motion blur off and putting the settings on to lowest, but it doesn't help. About 60% of the time it crashes just from me pressing the friends tab, 35% of the time it crashes when I try to join a game or during the joining of a game, and the other 5% is when I somehow actually manage to get into a game, it just crashes after I take 1-2 steps.

Here's the error I get most often.

Oops, that wasn't it (though I do get that error with motion blur off). Here is the entire first error:

Someone delete that post above. I pasted the wrong thing again...

Here's a link to all my errors.

same problem
ubuntu 9.04, wine 1.1.34

Have you tried turning off the Steam in game community?

~Jeff

Yep. I've had it off, as it causes errors with all Steam games. No luck.

The game just crashes after a few mins playing.
1. The game is stuck for a moment
2. Then I can't use my mouse anymore
3. The game crashes

The error message:

Wine version? I know I had best luck with the .27-.29 range. Also regarding the mouse issue - did you apply the patch listed above?

~Jeff

Thanks, but I solved the problem.
My Wine Version is 1.1.31 and I just edited the KillingFloor.ini.
Like this:
"
[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice

It seems that dll was made for a 1024x768 resolution because when I try it, it makes it so the mouse moves quite freely in a small box roughly that size. Is there a way to make that so it can support a resolution of 1440x900?

try to disable compiz

Mouse is bound to a box like in all UT games.

Setting [HKCU\Software\Wine\DirectInput] "MouseWarpOverride" to "force" helps.

Game is slower than in windows and it crashes alot, but playable.

What type of crash(es) are happening? Are they happening in consistent places/are they reproducible?

~Jeff

Crashes are random. Sometime it happens after few minutes, but last night I could play all maps without a crash.

When it crashes there's something about mmap() failed in logs. I'll paste logs next time it crashes.

Here is the log when game crashes.

pastebin.com/f46623d8

--- snip --
E: shm.c: mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory
E: shm.c: mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory
E: memblock.c: Assertion 'b' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:438, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting.
--- snip --


It seems to me pulseaudio can't reserve memory. Strange thing is that this starts to happen when graphic settings are anything above low or werylow. On very low graphic settings game is stable!

That is strange. I know on my own system that when I try to run the game at beyond 1024x768 it tells me that my video card does not have enough memory.
