Wine Staging 2.4 released

In short if you want to use the Windows version of Galaxy under Wine use the most recent version of Wine Staging since Galaxy makes use of quite a few features not yet implemented in vanilla Wine.

It sounds like there is a Linux version of Galaxy somewhere nearby... ;) Of course I want to use the Linux version and not the Windows one, but as of now I simply have no choice. Just want to have a glimpse at that client which revently was updated to 1.2 with big news on the site yet, no Linux version mentioned.

Spoiler, click me

Download and install the Windows version and enable preview updates and you should get updated to version 1.2.0. If the update fails, well, hopefully we'll have a standalone 1.2.0 installer available soon :)

Wine Staging 2.4 released

For those of you who play No Man's Sky via Wine and you are using the GOG version, the online features started working under Wine Staging so you should see your GOG user name in NMS and get achievements.

Spoilered so the "no tux, no bux" folks don't have to read it :P
Nice!

And what about your Galaxy? Does it run under WINE now? Last time I checked it did not launch no matter how I tweaked DLL overrides.

Spoiler, click me

In order to get Galaxy to run, use Wine Staging 2.4 with the vcrun2015 winetrick. As of Wine Staging 2.4, it runs OK but it tends to just hang if left running in the background after an extended period of time which means you have to occassionally kill it manually by going into htop or top and SIGTERMING the processes it has running in the background. I also tested the recent 1.2.0 update by enabling previews and most of the features, besides the overlay, work. Have not yet tested the cloud saves myself under Wine so I am not sure how that is under Wine. Ah and downloads and updates work quite smoothly, for the most part.

Spoiler, click me

Also, I applied one patch to Wine Staging related to vcrun2015 just to see what is the next unimplemented function and it seems that Galaxy no longer complains about unimplemented functions in vcrun2015 with the patch applied. In short if you want to use the Windows version of Galaxy under Wine use the most recent version of Wine Staging since Galaxy makes use of quite a few features not yet implemented in vanilla Wine.

Thanks for your efforts at any rate! You're making penguins happy.
Had to try, though. :-)

Provided all goes well in the next couple of days, we may have a few more Linux versions :)

That's going to be rectified shortly, we just got done preparing it :)

edit: and now it's added :)
It seems you forgot to add Witcher 3 for Linux as well, could you fix that, please? ;)

Wine Staging 2.4 released
22 Mar 2017 at 8:01 pm UTC

Yeah, I think there is a regression hidden in the new Wine Staging version as for some odd reason I can't even start The Flame in the Flood at all for some reason.

If Wine Staging was a bit more straightforward, i would do a proper regression test. Will have to see if I get the same results from my distro's version of Wine Staging 2.4...

Jack Orlando: Director's Cut now has a Wine-port on Steam for Linux

Quoting: ArehandoroPlayed this game many, many years ago and loved it. It's flawed, and difficult, but the atmosphere, plot and original soundtrack are top!

I wish this wine port it's on GOG at some point too...

It will be, we've just received a few Mac & Linux games from the publisher but we need to test them to make sure everything is working as expected :)

Sorry for the bit of a delay :)
