One thing that has is now the need to install a patch just to get the controls to work is apparently taken care of. Update as of Wine 1.6 (using wine appdb recommended extras like d3d9) Thanks for your response, sounds like it's best to use Bootcamp for the meantime at least :) Gooberking: OK here is the deal as of wine 1.5.4 on linuxīottom line, if you want to play Alan Wake anytime soon, you better have windows or an Xbox. wine experience as mine may not reflect the current situation.
As it stands it would be good if someone downloading the game after 6-15-2012 could post their A.L.
The main game installer will probably be updated to reflect the patch, but I am unwilling to redownload the 8gigs worth of installer files in order to see what happens. I have not been able to install this patch via wine to see if any of the new options might improve the situation. Sound is quite important for the game if you have never played it, so even if there is a way to fix the performance issue(which I thought might have been the motion blur effect but using -noblur does not help) the sound is still a serious hurdle.īottom line, if you want to play Alan Wake anytime soon, you better have windows or an Xbox.Ī patch was release for our version of the game. So you will have sound for a while, then it goes out for awhile. This unfortunately renders the game more or less unplayable at this time.Īlso the sound seems to go in and out between sections. Note I am currently unsure what effect the patch may have on other games, if any.Īfter that the game should run HOWEVER, actual game play does suffer some serious performance issues which is strange given that the title, menus, and scenic fly-bys all work fantastically(This may just be because the night time effects are far more demanding). Which basically boils down to downloading the source, copying the patch into the source directory, apply the patch (patch -p1 < raw3.patch), then build and install wine via the usual build from source routine. You can copy a precompiled version available from the PlayOnLinux guys and overwrite an existing install(I didn't do this.) Or you have to do it the serious way and build wine from the source using the patch. To get the controls to work you must use the raw3.patch which can be done in one of two ways.
