Additional Comments
I installed this a few weeks back. I had no problems with install/updating/game except 1) needed to restart once after patching, 2) the faces of certain races were not rendered resulting in black voids with eyeballs. No overrides used/didn't follow the how-to (installed before looking here). After Descent was released, the game would no longer start. I used the following winetricks to get it running again: * vcrun2008 (was already there, so I set msvcr90 to native in winecfg) * vcrun2005 (resolves an unimplemented function error) * directx9 (resolved err:d3dcompiler:assemble_shader Asm reading failed). All of directx9 surely isn't needed - I just didn't know what else could have been used to resolve the d3dcompiler error. Bonus, after logging in, I can see my characters face now...NVIDIA/ALSA.

Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
As of July 16th and before I have never needed Directx9 installed to
play perfectworld. This could just be my setup. The game runs so smoothly I don't see a
need for directx9
Most of you have noticed that minimizing and maximizing the Perfect World game client really is not any option because it mashes the icons inside the game to one side or the other.
A really simple solution...
Open your wine configuration, click on the graphics tab, add a check mark in "Emulate a Virtual Desktop" set the resolution that you want. My linux desktop is set at 1280 x 1024 res. I set my Virtual Desktop to 1280 x 975.
This was really the final bug that I have seen for the game everything is super smooth running.
I have tested this simple solution on basically all wine versions.
I did not have to install direct x 9. Although you do need to install specific fonts that are stated in an earlier post for the text to show up correctly. The chinese packs are needed no matter what because the game will be wicked slow if you dont have them.
I am using a distro that is built upon ubuntu jaunty called Linux
Mint 7. I have tried this on the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Mint 7.
Really this should work for everyone its a simple solution that was
there the entire time :)
BEFORE INSTALLING PERFECT WORLD
*Note: If installing on Gentoo, please use this statement before running wine install.exe. Use 'export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8'
Wine configuration:
Windows -> "Windows XP"
Allow Pixel Shader "enable"
Audio only ALSA
Regedit configuration:
Add "Direct3D" key to HKEY_CURRENT_USR -> Software -> Wine
Add the following String Values to the Direct3D key:
DirectDrawRenderer
"opengl"
Nonpower2Mode
"repack"
OffscreenRenderingMode
"fbo"
PixelShaderMode
"enabled"
RenderTargetLockMode
"auto"
UseGLSL
"disabled"
VideoMemorySize
"512"
< Edit this line to indicate
the size of your video memory
Or download a .reg file that can be imported into your
configuration, pwi.reg . You will
still need to edit the file before importing, to modify your video
memory size.
Winetricks is a script created by Dan Kegel, to download and install
various Windows packages. Some you might need to install Perfect
World. Like the chinese language fonts
You can get it from the link below. Just right click and
save it in your .wine directory.
After that:
Run winetricks with:
sh ~/.wine/winetricks
You will have to install VCRUN6 via Winetricks. (date added: 4/7/2011)
Performance:
If your game is slow, you may need to disable the
option "Soften" within Perfect
World Setup

Updating (4/6/2011)
After Updating the game, Verify, the files. Updating may take 15 minutes, but further problems may be avioded if you Verify the installation afterwards.
I've made a couple of scripts to find or kill wine applications, instead of rebooting the computer by force. (which I used to do, before using these scripts. Each of these scripts should be run in a terminal window, which you should be able to get to. On Ubuntu (my system), you can find a terminal by going thru Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal. You can also run by using Alt-F2, or by logging in to another instance, by using CTRL-ALT-Fx (where x is 1-9).
Just copy these scripts to your home directory. Doesn't matter where you keep them, just be sure they are on an executable path. You will also, have to make them executable by doing this after you download them. [chmod +x (name of file)] (do not type [ or < or >).
findwine. This script will list all occurance of C: and the program wine. (added 01/03/2011)
killwine. This script will kill all occurances of C: and the program wine. (added 01/03/2011)
If you have mutltiple wine programs running, the killwine will kill it.
