Running FE LH in wine

from Elemental Forums

Anybody had luck running FE LH in wine so far? For me it is crashing in gameoverlayui.exe. There isn't anything helpful in the appdb.

 

When I purchased the game I was hoping for it to work well in wine because of the simple graphics. It would be great to not have to boot windows everytime I want to play FE...

I'm not sure if it helps but gameoverlayui.exe is the steam shift-tab interface. Try turning it off in the settings. Right click Steam -> Settings -> In-Game -> Disable Steam Community In-Game.

Great tip. However now a crash is occurring in LegendaryHeroes.exe itself, which is much harder to track down. If I find another solution I'll post it to this thread.

I am running FE in wine under linux. I am not using the steam version but the stardock standalone version, so I am not sure if this helps.

To get the game running under recent wine versions, I had to rename the file SDNXLOverlay.dll in the game folder. Not sure if you have that file too.

I remember to get the game running without that in wine 1.4 if I remember correctly, so using an older wine via playonlinux could be worth a try, too.

 

Would be great to hear, if this helps.

Do post if you find a solution! Would be much much better not to have to specially boot into Windows (and deal with a hail of update pop-ups from Adobe, Java etc...).
