[SOLVED] Installation Tutorial For WOW & WINE 64 BIT

Latest WINE & Mint 25 step walkthrough for AMD/INTEL based Desktops/Laptops

I wrote this to work with Intel/AMD GPU 64 bits

• have OpenGL support:

3 In the terminal type the following:
open terminal type-
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa -y && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine

4. in terminal type- winecfg , install prompted

5 install winetricks from the synaptic driver manager

Troubleshooting a Wine App

Sometimes, when ruing an App one or several of the following can happen:
Frozen App

a technique of getting out of a frozen state is killing the X server. To do this first configure it by typing in terminal

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

and on the last option there that talks about killing X, say "YES". This will enable the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE combination

6. open terminal type- sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

7. Again type -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
8then
sudo apt-get update
9 type in terminal -

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0

10. type - sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

11, type wincfg accept prompts again.
In Wine configuration:

Applications tab

- Add applications and set to Windows Version to "Windows 10": for Default Settings, Agent.exe & winemenubuilder.exe , add those manually
Alt mod F2

12 .type winetricks

Install a DLL or COMPONENT
Install all that I have listed . This covers many games & apps:
d3dx 10
d3dx 11_42
d3dx 11_43
d3dx9
d3dx9_26
d3dx_28
d3dx_31
d3dx_35
d3dx_36
d3dx_39
d3dx_42
d3dx_43

Directx9

vcrun2008
vcrun2010

xact
xact_jun2010
xinput

WHEN DONE open winetricks again
. This time select install a font

. Install Core fonts only

13. sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

14, type wincfg

15. This is the longest step, as we have to manually add more DLL in the tab “Libraries” - new override for library:

After you add the DLL click the edit button and change parimiter to:

(native, builtin) for
amstream, atl, crypt32, d3dxof, devenum, dplay, dplayx, dpnaddr, dpnet, dpnhpast, dpnlobby, dxdiagn, hhctrl.ocx, hlink, itss, jscript, mlang, mshtml,msvcirt, msvcm80, msvcm90, msvcp80, msvcp90, msvcr80, msvcr90, msvcrt40, msvcrtd, msxml3, odbc32,odbccp32, quartz, riched20, riched32, rsabase, secur32, shdoclc, shdocvw, softpub, urlmon, wintrust

(builtin) for
msi, ole32, oleaut32, olepro32, rpcrt4, wininet

(native) for- dciman32
Apply and OK.

16. That's not all. To boost the WoW FPS even more, also perform the following tweak: press ALT + F2, enter "regedit" (without the quotes) and:

• navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine, select the Wine folder and right click it, then select New -> Key and rename the newly created key to "OpenGL" (without the quotes);
• select the "OpenGL" key, right click it and select New -> String Value;
• rename "New Value #1" to "DisabledExtensions" (without the quotes);
• double click on the newly created "DisabledExtensions" and enter "GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object" (without the quotes) into the "value" field.

• It has far superior 3D performance, what is also relevant for desktop performance when using a compositing window manager (Unity uses Compiz, which greatly relies on 3D acceleration)
• With it the graphics card uses less power (mainly relevant on laptops)
• It comes with OpenCL support, meaning that some programs can benefit from the graphics chip (for instance imagemagick, although I think this feature is disabled on Ubuntu)
• On some cards, the open source driver does not support audio output over HDMI, in this case, use the proprietary driver.

• Did I mention that it's less stable than the open source driver?
• On some systems tearing artefacts are visible when playing video files (there is a setting in the Catalyst Control Centre to prevent this, yet it doesn't work on some systems)
• For some settings one has to use Catalyst Control Centre instead of Ubuntu System Settings, for instance if you want to extend the desktop to a second monitor for the first time.
