Custom Order Maid 3D2

What works

• menus
  • main menu, configuration/settings menu, gameplay menus
• linking to/importing content from Custom Maid 3D2
• maid creation
• general gameplay
  • including saving & loading
• mods (via sybaris) including translation

What does not

• game takes an unreasonable amount of time (~10 minutes on an ssd) to load to the main menu and sometimes freezes during this time, with no way of telling whether it has frozen or is still loading
• transitions between screens take longer than they should
• loading a saved game takes longer than it should
• when maids are changing animations (in conversations, yotogi, etc) the game hangs for 0.5-2 seconds
• game occasionally crashes in maid creator when browsing presets
• antialiasing settings higher than x2 tank the fps from 60 to below 20 and interferes with xorg mouse input
  • wayland and other desktop environments/window managers were not tested
• graphics and sound settings do not save on game exit and must be reapplied at each start
• sybaris (and any other mods that require loading of a hacked dll) will not work without setting a dll override environment variable or setting a dll override in your wineprefix config

Workarounds

• DXVK 1.3.1 was installed, because this is a DX11 game
  • i did not test this without DXVK
• japanese locales must be generated
  • sudo nano /etc/locale.gen
  • uncomment ja_JP.UTF-8
  • sudo locale-gen
• game must be launched with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 environment variable
• if using mods that require a dll override (windows does this automatically) you must launch the game with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="DLL_NAME=n,b" environment variable
  • alternatively, if you have a separate wineprefix for this game, you could set a permanent dll override in your wineprefix winecfg. i just dont think its worth having a separate prefix for a single game

example:

if you want to launch the game with sybaris, you would use the following command:

LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="opengl32=n,b" wine COM3D2.exe

What was not tested

• running the game without DXVK
• full playthrough of the game start to finish
• playsessions longer than 2 hours at a time
• "karaoke" option ingame
