Hello everybody.

At the beggining I want to tell, that I've just started working at Linux. I've got problem with turning on the game on PlayOnLinux platform. The problem is, that when I turn it on, there's intro but when it should be main menu, there's black screen and when I click anything, the game closes. I tried with Gothic 3 and Dark Messiah. I tried to install these games in different ways, and always it's the same.

Ubuntu 17.04

PlayOnLinux 4.2.10

When you want info about games, you can go on the wine appdb.

For example, your games :

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4015

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3740

By looking on the different reports, you can find workarounds.

When you have a bug, it's important to say : OS, POL version, Wine Version, are you using an official POL script, and maybe some logs from setup and or launch of your program

In a POL Console (go with cd to the .exe location):

 

wine my_setup.exe &> log.txt

You can find the log.txt file in the folder of your .exe

 


POL5 is here ! -> https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis

The problem was, that I didn't installed EE patch v1.75. Now game runs properly.
