TERA Online

All tests are made under arch64 using wine 1.5.5 with OpenInputDesktop and sound disabled.

It used to work perfectly with nvidia gtx295, but I moved to my other cards Radeon 6990 xfire Radeon 6970 and the game started to crash the Launcher runs normally and get the 3GB thing until I get the cursor where the game crashes. I have tried with catalyst 12.6, catalyst 12.4, catalyst 11 and xf86-video-ati 6.14.99
none of them solved the problem and it seems that it's a wine related problem.

I have googled and did many searches and with no luck.

This is the error :

The extreme lag with UI windows open might be more obvious when running the game through wine, but may not be a wine issue.

vi.reddit.com/r/TeraOnline/comments/u12os/tera_ui_issue_needs_attention_no_developer/

my framerate in TERA is quite bad (barely playable) with UI showing, but becomes very smooth if I hide the UI completely using CTRL+Z. not the best solution, as you need the UI visible to interact with NPCs, but I can disable UI while out questing or in dungeons and the game plays well.


my system:

gentoo linux
Phenom II 955 @ 3.4 GHz
8GB DDR3
NVidia GTX275

I managed to get the game up to the point where it switches to fullscreen and displays the cursor, at that point one of the threads crashes however.

To make the patcher work copy a native version of xmllite.dll into the launcher folder, this fixes the xml parser error.

Wine must be compiled with OpenAL support otherwise the client crashes on start.

I changed the OpenInputDesktop function in /dlls/user32/winstation.c to

HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access )
{
return CreateDesktopA("Desktop", 0, 0, flags, access, 0);
}

to get past the OpenInputDesktop loop, no idea if its a good way to do this though :P

This way TERA.exe launches and displays a messagebox about the 3GB boot option being enabled, after clicking ok it switches into fullscreen mode and shortly displays the cursor before one of the threads crashes and TERA.exe just remains dead there.

Using WINEDEBUG=relay makes it crash even earlier with a different error so its not of much use i guess.

This is with wine 1.5.2 on 64 bit Arch Linux.

Open regedit and go to HKEY_CU/Software/wine/Drivers and set Audio to an empty string. This disabled wines audio driver and makes the game work.
For whatever reason i still get sound ingame, just not on the first movies which seem to be causing that crash.

Its probably related to this bug: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20799

I can launch the game with the 1.5.2 "Openinputdesktop" Version without this workaround, (i have sound in the movies) but nice work :)

I am running the US retail version on wine 1.5.4 with the OpenInputDesktop function compiled in, and am able to play pretty well. I haven't experienced the audio problems mentioned above, but I was having some serious stuttering/freezing any time I moved my mouse. It seems better after a friend pointed out the "Mouse for UI only" option in game.

What program are you using to edit this winsta.dll file? I seem to not be able to with gedit or kwrite. What encoding?
