RIFT

Wine-staging 3.11, clean prefix. I tried installing RIFT via Glyph and got the old crash, then can't continue because of corruption bug that was happening < 3.4. Wasn't that fixed?

I have installed Rift via the standalone installer for Glyph.

If I use the Multicore renderer or Single core one, for some reason anything inside the Droughtlands is missing its texture and is overlaid with a gray one, causing everything to seem invisible unless you notice the sky is actually there.

If I go with the low-quality renderer, things are better, but alot of objects are now using a black texture. Not all, as I can actually make my way around, but this is for ALL zones, not just the Droughtlands?

Any idea what I am missing here?
I used the winetricks options for dependencies as noted in the howto. Have tried both enabling/disabing GLSL, SDO options as well. No changes on either the HQ or LQ renderers.

Thanks!

I'm trying to reinstall RIFT using the Glyph installer and NOT Steam. Glyph installs flawlessly and looks as it should. I authenticate and login just fine. When I click on the install button for RIFT it downloads and installs the initial 65MB of data. After the initial 65MB it tries to start the streaming downloader and crashes instantly.

I'm using a 64bit wine prefix with 32bit client selected in Glyph settings. I've tried using a 32bit prefix with no difference. I've also tried all combinations of VC runtimes ranging form 2005 - 2015 with no luck. My WINE version is wine-2.12 (Staging). If I copy over a previously installed RIFT directory everything works as it should. It seems to me the streaming download portion of installation is getting me.

If anyone can do a fresh installation of Glyph/RIFT to check if they are getting the same problem it'd be greatly appreciated. Or any info on how to proceed is also welcome.

On a whim I tried the install using the current Crossover trial. Glyph installs, RIFT installs and both update fine. Time to figure out what Crossover is doing/installing that staging isn't.

I went through and installed the same DLLs via winetricks with no luck. I'm not sure what else it could be.

Has anyone discovered a solution to this? I'm looking for a new MMO, so i tried installing Rift, but im running into the same problem. 65MB in, crash, every time. I've tried running under everything from XP to windows 10.

See title. I haven't been able to find any mentions of this problem, much less solutions. Here is a short video that shows what I'm talking about: my.mixtape.moe/fzrhbg.webm

I has having this issue too. I set my client to 32bit in the Glyph settings and it took care of a multitude of graphical glitches.

I was having this issue as well.
It stopped when I changed the Rendering in game (under Video - Advanced) from True Multicore Support to Single Core.

I had RIFT crash after various conditions. It would crash on opening Abilities tabs, and during certain events.

I found the problem is with msvcr120.dll
*You need to get a copy of the 32-bit version of msvcr120.dll
*Copy it to c:\windows\system32\
*Add DLL overrided, in winecfg. Libraries, "msvcr120 (native,bultin)"

and that fixed it.

Another note. to get Glyph to work you need to keep windows version at Windows XP

I'm having an xaudio2_7.dll related crash. If I have xaudio2_7 set to native, RIFT will run, but there won't be any sound. I have it set to builtin, I'll have sound, but it'll crash after anywhere from 3-15 minutes' worth of play.

I've got d3dcompiler_43, directx9, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, xact_jun2010 installed via winetricks with WINE 1.9.8.

Could it be related to this? bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38668

Sorry, forgot the complete pastebin.

Here's the error when it's crashing:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0xedc4b10 "xaudio_dll.c: XA2SourceImpl.lock" wait timed out in thread 004f, blocked by 004e, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x65fe0ca0 "?" wait timed out in thread 004e, blocked by 004f, retrying (60 sec)

Fixed my own issue: started with a completely clean WINEPREFIX, d3dcompiler, d3dx9_43, vcrun2010, vcrun2013, xact_jun2010. Override (native,builtin) for xaudio2_7.dll.

Hello
Glyph setup doesn't work for me.
I can't install vcrun2012, because the installer isn't starting.

Fresh install of Linux Mint 17.1 with Wine1.7 from the PPA. I followed steps outlined in the previous comment for installing required dlls, unfortunately, after all is said and done the game launches but I do not have any cursor and can not accept the EULA.. thoughts? My guess is the window manager but I don't want to mess up this fresh install with installing another one..

To make Glyph working:
$ wget -O ~/winetricks winetricks.googlecode.com/svn-history/r1209/trunk/src/winetricks
$ sh ~/winetricks vcrun2012
(at the time of this comment winetricks.org/winetricks had not supported vcrun2012)

To fix ingame cinematic/cutscene videos:
$ sh ~/winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dcompiler_43 strictdrawordering=enabled

My other settings, optional:
$ sh ~/winetricks ddr=opengl glsl=enabled multisampling=disabled orm=fbo

PS: also see taskset workaround to fix some crashes:

Game plays fine for me in the latest Wine. I created a default 32bit Wine prefix. Then:

1. Enabled Strict Draw Ordering (strictdrawordering=enabled).
2. Set video memory to 1024 for my 1gb card (videomemorysize=1024).
3. Installed d3dx9 (fixes black screen/window issues).
4. Installed PhysX (for Nvidia cards).
5. Installed Steam.
6. Installed Rift via Steam.
7. Disabled Steam Overlay (fixes keypress game crash).
8. Played Rift!

I can play the game in lower graphics settings which is typical for my card anyways. For optimal performance I use Low Quality Renderer.

I'm installing Rift using all the instructions given above. Since the mandatory update to Glyph, you have to download the Glyph installer to install Rift.
I'm on Mint 17, 64 bit, with Catalyst drivers.
I'm using PlayonLinux. I'm running this install of Rift on Wine with a 32 bit installation, but I get the same results whether it's 32 or 64 bit.
When I install using the Glyph installer, it gives me an error when it gets to the screen where you put in your login credentials. It says that it crashed, and you should start it again from the start menu. From POL, I open the directory with Glyph, run it again, and it's fine. I install Rift. Once it's installed, I close Glyph. I try to run it again from POL, but it crashes. In the debug logs, it says that it can't find Qt5Webkit.dll, Qt5Network.dll, Qt5Multimedia,dll, and DNSAPI.dll. If I open the directory and run it directly, it works. Once I have it open, I try to run Rift. The first time I run it, I can hear the sounds from the opening videos, but it just shows flickering colours. Once I hit escape, I just get a black screen - no sound. Not blank, but black. Every time I try to run Rift after that, I get the same - black screen. I can get out of it by hitting escape a bunch of times. If I alt+tab, I can see that there is an error message window being displayed, but when I try to focus on it, I get snapped back to the black screen.
If I run Rift right from the directory (not through PoL), nothing happens.

Any ideas? Hopefully we can get Rift playable again.

Are you getting the issue where it says it's corrupted? Uninstall Rift, then reinstall. It should be OK afterwards. Granted, I'm playing on bog-standard WINE with a 32-bit prefix, not POL. (I am 64 bit, but I keep WINE things 32 bit.)

After a great deal of annoyance starting with the Rift_LIVE_Patcher_setup.exe and getting the exact error you describe, I tried actually installing the glyph.dyn.triongames.com/glyph/live/GlyphInstall.exe directly with Wine in the Windws XP mode. Oddly enough, this worked without a hitch.

Otherwise the same rules seem to apply. Same winetricks (plus the June 2010 DX installer), same registry settings.

You also have to let Rift download completely. Otherwise it will crash out at some point, because the in-game streamer doesn't work for whatever reason and as soon as it needs to download data it will fail.

Hello it was frustrating but I was able to install rift on my mac and though I should share since it required some steps that weren't mentioned. (note I used the mac ports pkg handler)

For some reason the installer that I downloaded from Trion kept returning errors after accepting the License agreement making it useless. Luckily I was able to install it from the install disc I got when I originally installed the game.

1.) If haven't already install Xcode then install wine.
2.) If you haven't yet installed wine tricks.
4.) Install XQuartz.
5.) Reboot your mac.
6.) Use wine tricks to install the following files: vcrun2008 d3dx9 d3dx9_43
7.) insert the install DVD into your optical drive.
8.) locate the installer on the DVD. (note auto run.exe doesn't work so you have to find it manually.)
9.) Execute the installer in wine and install the game. The game will offer to install Direct X and Visual C++ 2008. If you followed step 6 correctly you already have these so uncheck these boxes. Make sure the box to open rift is check and click done.
10.) A the launcher will open and it should update it's self
11.) log in and click update depending on how old your install DVD is the patcher may require you to redownload the entire game. Don't worry it will do this automatically.
12.) For some reason the streaming client doesn't work (in my case at least) so you must wait for the patcher to finish completely.
13.) Click Play.

I've yet to play the game since I just did this but I'll be sure to report my experience later.

Oops, I forgot something important!

You need to activate D-Bus which is installed with Mac Ports. To do this enter the following commands (minus the $ sign) into terminal before step 6. If you don't do this you will get an error during step 6.

$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

As I mentioned in my test data on Fedora x86_64, in addition to the things listed above, there are a few more things that might need to be done to get this running:

1. Wine Gecko
2. d3dx9_43 from winetricks (d3dx9 did not install this)
3. 32-bit driver libs (if the system is 64-bit)
4. Prepend "taskset -c 0" to the beginning of the command in the Rift shortcut, as mentioned in this bug: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26018

If you encounter a Renderer version issue, you need try setting your renderer version in the rift.cfg file to;

drive_c/users//Application Data/RIFT/rift.cfg [LegacyRenderer = True]

also set the [ProjectedTexturesEnabled = False] but still checking
