Hello Fellas :)
I am new to linux, i'm using playonlinux on my chromebook (trough crouton).
I want to install the Game "Gothic" with an ISO file (i have no CD-ROM Drive) and to do that i have to click on "install a non-listed programm" but it works. However after installing i get an error if i start the game:
C:zMusic_DM.cpp(zCMusicSys_DirectMusic::Init()) Failed to initialize synth!
Now if i go to playonlinux configuration i can go to install compenents and install directmusic which will make the error dissappear but it will be replaced by another one:
C: failed to initialize sound, MSS reported: waveOutOpen() failed.
The Game seems to have a problem with my audio driver. If i go into the games directory to "gothic.ini" i can set the sound from 1 to 0 (disables it) which makes the game work just fine but without sound! If i switch to sound settings ingame after doing so the game will crash. If i go to Wine configuration > Audio > Test Sound it will only work on a 64bit wine version. But same error occurs in 32bit or 64bit, tryed older ones too. I have no idea what else i can do...
Plus i am confused regarding Winetricks. It seems this app only changes wine of the default wine version (which is 32bit). I cannot even install the game on the default wine if i understand correctly. It will create another wine for this. Which is why the regestry i can open from winetricks looks different then the one i can open through linux directly. But that is just a minor problem i guess.
Does anyone have an idea? :P Would be very appreciated i'mabout to freak out :P
