I played the three games and got all the achievements. The game is fully playable and my game experience was really enjoyable.
The game crashes when alt-tabbing or opening any other application
With the newer version of proton, the bear in the level "bear it" (crash 2) doesn't open the secret passage. You have to use an older version of proton (I used the 3.16-9). If you reach the end of the level and it says you missed two boxes, you just have to backtrack and reach the tnt boxes that didn't explode.
Runs perfectly after following the steps described in this post (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/howto-hoi3-linux-with-wine.425470/). I played the tutorial and I started a new game without any problem. The steps I followed are:
- Install the game (I have the base game plus all DLCs)
- Run the game and let the First-Time Setup install the prerequisites. The game will crash
- Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ winetricks directx9 dotnet20"
- Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ winecfg" and check the Window Version: it should be "Windows XP"
- Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ wine regedit" and create the new key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D". Then, add the following string values: "OffscreenRenderingMode" with value "fbo" and "VideoMemorySize" with your GPU's memory
- Always in regedit, create the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/DirectSound" and add the string value "MaxShadowSize" and set it to 0.
The game works after following the steps described in this post (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/howto-hoi3-linux-with-wine.425470/). I played the tutorial and I started a new game without any problem. The only issue: the game may crash when you start or load a game (this behaviour is occasional) and when you take a screenshot (F12 key).The steps I followed to make the game playable are: 1. Install the game (I have the base game plus all DLCs) 2. Run the game and let the First-Time Setup install the prerequisites. The game will crash 3. Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ winetricks directx9 dotnet20" 4. Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ winecfg" and check the Window Version: it should be "Windows XP" 5. Run "WINEPREFIX=${path_to_steamlibrary}/steamapps/compatdata/25890/pfx/ wine regedit" and create the new key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D". Then, add the following string values: "OffscreenRenderingMode" with value "fbo" and "VideoMemorySize" with your GPU's memory 6. Always in regedit, create the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/DirectSound" and add the string value "MaxShadowSize" and set it to 0.
