Test Results

Old test results
The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results

What works

  • Installing &�launching�Gameforge Launcher, login to an account and installing TERA�Online.

What does not

  • If the system has DXVK�installed, without d3d9 set to builtin - game won't launch.

Workarounds

  • Setting d3d9 to builtin solves any existing problems. I�suggest using WINEDLLOVERRIDES=d3d9=b while launching the Gameforge Launcher itself.

What was not tested

  • N/A

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: Intel
  • Driver: open source

Additional Comments

  • If you have xboxdrv installed and running as a background service, for any reason at all, stop it before running TERA because not only your pointer will misbehave hilariously and won't let you play the game at all, it might actually halve your FPS�while in-game.

HowTo / Notes

Compile Wine for Tera
(most of extra tricks there has been are not necessary any more, but I haven’t cleaned comments to remove obsolete ones yet) 

Couple of items to note: 
1. Need 32bit PREFIX, I could not get 64bit PREFIX working even if patches. I used a 32bit virtual machine to build. You could also build in a chroot. Seewiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit for more information. # TODO: need to confirm

2. The default Windows XP profile does not seem to work (at least with wine-staging-1.8.9), after I changed to Win 7 profile, the launcher started to work.


Winetricks installed in my PREFIX: 
winhttp

As of 24.01.2015, it seems that wine-staging build is required in order to launch TERA-launcher.exe properly. It can be found at  https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging

 It will still not work though, you need to remove boost_interprocess stuff (which then will get recreated, so this is required for every launch), by executing rm ~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/ApplicationData/boost_interprocess/* or whatever is correct for your env.

 Performance notes

Performance seems to stutter quite a bit due the Flash based HUD, which can be tested by hiding the HUD using ctrl+z (default keybinding). 

There is another performance related problem, where most actions lags quite a bit behind due the UI being fairly slow. Hiding the clock and FPS counter makes the UI more responsive, so disabling these two settings is suggested.

 Installing new Flash with winetricks

    sh winetricks flash

seems to help by few FPS points. 

 Removing mini map (N key by default) also seems to help by few FPS.

Gameforge launcher

Use winetricks to install vcrun2017 (possibly 2015 and 2019 also work fine) otherwise the Gameforge launcher will show a black window instead of asking your login credentials.
Works like a charm

Did it as described.
"winetricks d3dx9 xact xinput
Put xmllite.dll(files.playonlinux.com/TERA_Wine_Fix.zip) to C:/Program Files/TERA/Client/."
Works for me on both, 32 and 64 prefixes. Sound works too for me. Made my first char and haven't had any problems so far.
Wine Version 1.7.13 on Gentoo Testing Branch

Had some problems while installing because the Launcher kept freezing while "applying the patch". Clicking on "Launcher Settings -> Repair your install -> Click here to begin repair" fixed it after a few times so you should just keep on repairing if the Launcher keeps freezing. This only occurs while installing (and probably updating?) the game. after that you will get to the login right after opening the launcher.

Thanks for the help @ the mantainer.
