Play on Linux

Most windows games require you to setup and configure Play on Linux

Configure WINE version(s)

First thing you must add some WINE version(s).

  • Open Play on Linux
  • Go to: Tools > Manage WINE versions
  • Select the version(s) to install. Please install, at least, a x86 and 64bits distribution. (i) Take the latest 1.9.x and 1.8.x


Commercial games

Diablo3

requirement

You need to open some specific ports to play Diablo3.


installation

Very good tutorial: http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/08/install-diablo-3-on-ubuntu-14-04/


graphic fix (ATI)

http://workinginavirtualspace.blogspot.com/2014/05/playonlinux-and-diablo-3-ros-get-past.html


Sound fix

If your sound is cracky or if you don't have any sound... 

sudo vim /etc/pulse/default.pa

1. Comment the following lines if they are not already commented: 

## Ensure following lines are commented
#load-module module-alsa-sink
#load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0

## Comment the following block
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect
.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
load-module module-detect
.endif

2. Use the following configuration instead 

## Wine hook
load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix
load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop

# Automatically load the correct driver
load-module module-udev-detect


From now on your wine can use pulseaudio with ALSA. :-)


ALSA configuration. You need to create a configuration file: 

vim ~/.asoundrc

Put the following content: 

pcm.!default {
    @func refer
    name { @func concat 
           strings [ "pcm."
                     { @func getenv
                       vars [ ALSA_DEFAULT_PCM ]
                       default "pulse"
                     }
           ]
         }
}

ctl.!default {
    @func refer
    name { @func concat 
           strings [ "ctl."
                     { @func getenv
                       vars [ ALSA_DEFAULT_CTL
                              ALSA_DEFAULT_PCM
                       ]
                       default "pulse"
                     }
           ]
         }
}


Restart pulseaudio 

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start
  • Test your system sound (= play a music track)
  • Test wine sound: 
    • ALSA_DEFAULT_PCM="plug:dmix" winecfg
    • Go to the Audio tab, click "Test Sound"
    • If you hear the sound, and see messages like "The dmix plugin supports only playback stream", it's working.


Adjust the wine shortcut settings 

vim ~/Desktop/Diablo\ III.desktop
# ALSA_DEFAULT_PCM="plug:dmix" ==> sound bug fix
# setarch i386 -3 ==> ATI graphic bug fix
Exec=setarch i386 -3 /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Diablo III" %F


alternate sound solution

The following solution is also mentioned a number of times and seems to work.

Edit the pulseaudio configuration 

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Adjust the fragment size 

default-fragment-size-msec = 5
