Saints Row: The Third

I tested this game on Ubuntu 14.10 32 Bits

- Kernel 3.16
- Graphic Open Source Drivers: Mesa Gallium provided by Oibaf's PPAS -- not AMD graphics drivers
- Graphic card: ATI HD 6870

I used the version provided by Prophet (No-Steam) version. At least there is no black issue (= no black skin for my character).

Here is a youtube video: youtu.be/vHiRbsbgHGY

FPS are pretty low (15-30). But the game is almost playable.

Unfortunately this game doesn't work for "Gallium Nine" wiki.ixit.cz/d3d9(crash when trying to start with wine patched for "Gallium Nine" and "Mesa Gallium Nine" drivers.

Using only Mesa Gallium Drivers and Prophet version seems to be a good deal :)

I used the "Full Package" version (No-Steam). This game works with a few minors issues

I did two youtube videos

- youtu.be/-ZguSriMryU this is part 1/2
- youtu.be/aSblfwq5slA this is part 2/2

Part 1/2: It is doable to fix invisible enemies issues by updating your setting using nvidia-settings (Antiliasing). However Engine from this game has a lot of bugs. I need to do more tests (new nvidia drivers, new wine versions etc...)

Part 2/2: Character is black (black skin). This can not be fixed since it is based on "LOD Bias" (Level Of Details). Windows users speak about an update to do thourh nvidia on Windows by setting "Negative LOD Bias" to "Allow" on Windows. However "LOD" is not yet implemented in Wine.

This game is quite funny.

I will poste more news when I get more updates :)

Hi,


I tried to play SR the Third on my Ubuntu 14.04.
I succeed to launch the game with DirectX9 settings : the game load very well, menus work, no graphic bugs in the menus BUT the game crash in the loading time : black screen with the logo SR freeze, and i had an error.

I show you the log, if it can help you :
