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.

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
