Hi,

I got some problems getting Grim Dawn to work on my system.
I run Mint 18. I can do all steps including downloading the game via steam in WINE 1.7.39staging and 1.8.5. In followed the guide step by step but I can't run the Game at all.
In 1.7.39staging I get an Error when I click play in steam and the Game shuts down. The error message can not be generated.
In 1.8.5 I get an Error with the steamwebhelper already during the download and also after failed atempts to start the game in steam. here's my pastebin: http://pastebin.com/duCRr7Yu

Does Grim Dawn even run in it's current state on Linux?
And if so could you please help me resolve this problem. Your help is much apreciated.

I can install Steam and download Grim Dawn without any problems. I don't even have the "no text" bug when first opening Steam after installation. What log exactly do you need? I'm still a Linux Newbie.
I think I have some issues with the installation of vcrun2015. I follow the guide. It says "already installed" if I --force it I can uninstall it through the Wizard and then reinstall it via -g. Still didn't work.
When running Grim Dawn for the first time it will still install vcrun2015 for some reason even though i installed it previously.

Do I install Steam and Grim Dawn first and then install vcrun2015? I installed Steam then vcrun2015 then grim dawn.

And also the arguments for the configuration of the virtual drive "-no-dwrite -no-cef-sandbox" look different from what you have in you screenshot. wich ones do I use?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Now for some reason I can't even install vcrun2015 anymore.
Either it will say "already installed" in wich case i'll --force and uninstall vcrun2015 and it also says missing mfc140.dll wich I downloaded and C&P into the directory, wich solved at least that message.
Or it will give me the following Error and will not complete the installation. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/R1BPZ7uM
I tried googling about it but couldn't find anything helpful.
This problem persists even after I dele the virtual drive and create a new one, even if I name it completely different from any previous virtual drive.

Any help is very much apreciated.

Hello booman,

thanks again for your quick and detailed help. I had few little issues while following your instructions but could resolve most of them till I got to the point again where I hit "Play" on my Grim Dawn in Steam.
The dialog popped up again doing some "microsoft VC redist package" and "DirectX3d" stuff (Steps 1 through 5). After that I feel I got 0,001 bit closer to getting the game running. This time it didn't close, but steam showed me "Executing" on the game and my cursor disapeared when I moved it into the POL window. My system monitor also showed me my grimdawn.exe. But then nothing more happened even when I let it sit for a few minutes.
Here's my playonlinux.log I hope this will help. http://pastebin.com/wL21VRuS
Thanks again a lot for your help and support.

I have a GeForce 940M, I have the proper drivers and PoE works on my system just fine.

I think I can pretty much get the game up and running although the title screen won't look like it does in the screenshots and the game appears to freeze when I get into the inventory.

Hi everyone. I install grim down with steam in wine. Everything was great until last update (11.10.2017) game start freezeing and is unable to play. Is there similar problems with playonlinux installation?

@booman Thanks for reply, I use Manjaro Deepin and wine-staging 2.18. I have installed last nvidia drivers and bumblebee. Few minutes I write on this forum I can play for lond time and game don't freeze but every new start of game is lottery. Before yesterday update everything was great, no freezeing, no graphics glitches.

Anyone gotten the GOG (/or steam) version to run since the release of the expansion /update? . . . .

Thanks, I will reinstall if freezeing will occur.

Got steam installed (normal WINE Steam that uses 2.12), and Grim Dawn (post expansion) runs fine, a little more bright then I think it'd be otherwise but that runs. On the other hand trying to get VC2015 run (so I can install either Steam or GOG v) gives when copy+pasting in the last command:

I've tried 1.7.3.9 (/staging), 2.1.8 (/staging)/2.1.9 and I think I get the same result everytime, I don't think used to (much earlier this year).
