Anyone having the same font issues I have ? I never achieved to install the game with correct fonts.

Sorry, no font issues here. I followed this guide to the letter and then only had to deal with the one issue I posted above.

Yep. I had it set exactly like the guide above. Mine just didn't like it for some reason. I had to match the virtual desktop to my real desktop. And match the settings in that config file.

I think it was just the initial start of the game where it was doing that. It runs great now. I am doing all this on integrated graphics. Intel i5 with HD 3000 graphics. I have the newest Intel drivers installed from here: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intelr-linux-graphics-installer-version-1.0.2

Might be some different info in here that could help someone....

Today I've seen that the game has been released on steam (windows version only, of course).

Look at their reply to me on their Facebook page...

I got curious, so I tried something...

I wanted to play PoE through Steam, because I'm weird and like the Steam interface and it handles the updates and my achievements are there and so on. So I opened POL and clicked install, used the provided Steam script and got Steam running. Then I renamed the shortcut to Path of Exile Steam so I wouldn't confuse it with my regular Linux Steam. Then I made sure the same libraries were installed that we did in this guide and made the same changes on the display tab. Clicked restart windows for good measure. Started Steam, found Path of Exile in the store and clicked install. 15-20 minutes later I was playing PoE off my steam account. Worked great, it was playing just the same as the direct install that we did in this guide.

( FYI , You can link your PoE account to your Steam account in your profile settings on the PoE website. Then when you launch the game from Steam it logs you in with your Steam account, everything worked great. All my characters were there. )

Great news, since I broke my last POE install...I'll be able to install it thru windows steam.

thanks for the tip

Hey there,

Followed your guide and got the game working on 10.04, but framerates drop (including 1-2 second freezes) on spell effects. I have 1GB GeForce GTX465.

Here's the dump from playonlinux.log

The charset and unhandled usage flags lines are spammed during the periods of lag (mostly the usage flags) and lots of the text in game is messy (which I assume is related to the charset error). I made sure that I installed the libraries you'd listed
(POL_Install_corefonts, POL_Install_d3dx9, POL_Install_d3dcompiler_43, POL_Install_Registeredfonts, POL_Install_riched20, POL_Install_Tahoma, POL_Install_vcrun2005)

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply!
I checked and my Asla, gdiplus and nvidia drivers are all up to date, I've disabled GLSL and it might have improved a bit? I get ~45 fps in town, 55-60 outside running around or in simple combat, and drop to 10-15 with intermittent skips on big spell effects (like freezing shrine for example)

The packages I have are the most up to date they can be, but those still aren't great as I'm running 10.04 (alsa is at the 'latest version' 1.0.22-0ubuntu5, that error was saying to update to >= 1.0.24, so I suspect it's my old system version that's the root cause here.) I should be updating to 12.04 soon'ish, so hopefully that helps.
