Path of Exile Guide

RPG's have really come a long way...
Starting with text adventures to isometric Diablo hack-n-slash, then FPS Medieval fantasies to third person sci-fi role playing and now simple facebook games where you build farms, level up and help your friends to tower defense in a massive arena where heroes battle amongst minions.

Path of Exile is another online hack-n-slash that introduces some new elements while utilizing popular skills/loot/leveling to bring you a fresh epic RPG experience.

Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Path of Exile in Linux with PlayOnLinux.

Note: This guide applies to the online version of Path of Exile . Other versions may require additional steps.

Conclusion:
Path of Exile ran even better with Wine 1.7.19-WGE_WINE_surface2. The graphics are amazing and rival modern-day engines with all the eye-candy your heart desires. Even up close the details are amazing. I've recently tested with newer versions of Wine like 2.9-staging and for the most part, performance is good. There is a bit of stutter here and there, but its definitely playable with settings on high.

Also, if you noticed any flickering problems, disable Engine Multi-threading

I was most impressed with the web of skills. There are so many non-linear option to what path you want to take for increasing your characters abilities.

Hey guys I believe my WinSteam PoE is working fine as far as that WINE/Steam error goes. But I'm getting an error now when I choose a character and it starts to load the world. Any ideas?

Edit: This is the first time I have tried to play it since switching my system from Ubuntu 13.10 w/ Cinnamon to Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon. But they are both Ubuntu 13.10 base so I didn't really think that would be an issue.

 

Are you using the new Wine 1.7.8?

I would need to see a debug output to see what the errors are.
Can you post the debug in PlayOnLinux forum here

 

Yes I am. Posted the log file.

 

The new Wine 1.7.12 sports a fix for Path of Exile crashing at startup.
Does someone want to test it?

 

wow nice!

 

I take it Path of Exile is working for you?

 

Nah not yet, I am about to try it.

 

cool, let me know if it works with newer versions of Wine. I havn't tested PoE in a long time, so I'm curious

FYI: I was still getting this error:
Unable to create texture. D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE Not Available

This solved it:
installed libosmesa6 package.

I have updated the Path of Exile guide to reflect the new Wine 1.7.19-WGL_WINE_surface2 version
It runs beautifully with no lag at all!

 

I've followed your guide to the letter but still get "Failed resetting Direct3D device objects"

@holte420: Open your production_Config.ini and check if borderless_fullscreen = false and fullscreen = true under the [Display] section.

I have a strange error. When I start the game I can login and I can choose my character but I can't see anything than a black screen and the GUI. When I've chosen my character the loading screen appears and afterwards the game crashes with this error:
unable to create vertex shader. d3derr_invalidcall

I have searched in Google but I couldn't find a solution. Some ppl say that you need a better graphicscard to fix this error but I know that ppl can play with an Intel HD3000.

I had that same problem too after fixing the ini file, the solution was to enable GLSL Support.

I have a new problem now. I can actually play the game but, after a while (30 mins to an hour) it just crashes - this isn't location dependant, it's happened in town or out while questing.

 

Thank you, this was the solution! Unfortunately the performance is pretty bad on my notebook with Intel HD3000. At the moment I am on vacation so my gaming rig is far away

@holte240: It might be the GLSL support which can causes crashes but I am not sure... what does the debug log say?

 

I'm playing PoE with GLSL disabled. I have not experienced any graphical gliches. I've also been playing for a long time without any crashing. I'm at Act 3.
I have a feeling it is driver related because the game runs perfectly for Mint 17 64-bit and Nvidia drivers.

Holte420 - Can you post the debug when it crashes?

 

This is what I got at the end:

Yeah, I see those GLSL errors
Do you get this error with GLSL enabled and disabled?

Can you play any other games in Linux?

 

I get it when it is enabled but, can't play PoE without it. Torchlight 2 works fine.

 

So when GLSL is enabled you get these errors and it crashes from time-to-time?
When you turn off GLSL what happens?

Cool, since Torchlight II works, that means you have the 32-bit libraries and proprietary drivers installed.

Did you do that Production_Config.ini fix?

Maybe try another version of wine?
I couldn't get it to run smoothly without Wine 1.7.19-WGL_Wine_surface2
All other versions would run, but as soon as you started attacking minions there would be a HUGE frame stutter. Like it dropped to 18 frames per second.

 

i have the same problem of the @hoite420.
when i turn off GLSL this happens:

log: https://bpaste.net/show/78e492f60a71

i try it with different wine versions, but always have the same problem.
sorry for my bad english.
