I am trying to get steam game "No Time To Explain" to run but it will just immediately close.

In the debug log it says something about failling to load winhttp.dll even though I have this componet installed with the overide in place.

Can someone shed some light on this matter?

Debug output:

[07/15/14 19:06:11] - Running wine-1.7.22 NoTimeToExplain.exe (Working directory : /home/haftka/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Steam_1.7.22_32bit/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/No Time to Explaerr:module:import_dll Loading library WINHTTP.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\No Time to Explain\\NoTime\\NoTimeToExplain.exe") failed (error c000007b).

PS. When I set winhttp to Builtin or disabled I get an Unhandled Exception Error

After some digging I found through WineHQ I found out the cause of the initial problem, and that was a hooker library that linked the empty/dummy kernel32.dll and user32.dll files, and that removing them fixes the problem.

Done that and faced with another problem.... that has me stumped again....
Here's my debug output:

Upon researching I found that SetProcessDPIAware is a method in User32.dll

So I restored it from my backup(because only a fool deletes something without backing it up first) but it still pops the same error as above, which makes sense since it is supposedly an empty/dummy dll...

This game might never work... The more I dig the more problems I find out.

Have you tried to install the winehttp package?

I did, that's what I said in the intial post, but upon further investigation that wasn't the cause of the issue.

Apparently the way the developers coded the program to access core windows system dlls are in a way that can't be handled by wine counterparts. And since you can't use the windows dlls it makes this game unplayable via wine.

Took me a while, and alot of digging around WineHQ/Bug reports to figure this all out, but I got there on my own.

Just disregard this topic. It's a dead end/wild goose chase.

PS. Turns out there is a Linux/SteamOS port in the works for the game, so I guess this won't matter pretty soon.

Wasted a whole lot of time trying to get it working for nothing.... ahh well, I always enjoy debugging/problem solving... so it was fun.
