Allocating Space slow under Linux: SOLVED

apt-get install eatmydata:i386

>> I tried to just copy/paste the code above into my ubuntu 13.04 terminal but it didn't work as I expected... I am not a Linux experienced user, so I didn't understand almost nothing about this topic :(

I opened the Wine UI and changed the Windows version from XP to Windows 7, and I also did some stuff I don't remember right now.

God dammit! I was having serious problems with Windows, the game was crashing all the time or, when not crashing, it was just login' out when I was moving from one map to another. I did all I could, but no results were good enough. Finally, I decided to install Linux, but now I am facing this problem. I AM GOING CRAZY!!! HEHEHE!!! I just wanna have some fun..

Can anyone put all that has been said here into a common language so I can understand and try to fix the problem?

Cheers

Fred

Oh, as some may have already noticed english isn't my first language, so it is even more difficult for me to understand all the technical debate that is going on! By common language I mean "simple, ordinary :)

If you want to just patch wine, you can get the fix here: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2013-March/122783.html

You would need the wine source code, probably easily gotten with git, find the dlls/ntdll/virtual.c file and use the patch command to get the patch which you copied from the above hyperlink. You can find help for doing this in your language, whatever that is.

FeepingCreature solved the problem at the source, so we don't have to use workarounds like libeatmydata. I would recommend finding someone to help you install the wine patch. Or just wait until the wine developers incorporate it and you only need to install their latest release.

Thank you very much for the trick!
I am downloading game's files after being blocked by this 'Allocation space' issue.
I am on Ubuntu 12.04, and I use wine 1.5.30.
I used LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libeatmydata/libeatmydata.so wine Client.exe

Seems to be working fine for me in Arch (64bit).

"

yaourt -S lib32-libeatmydata
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/pathofexile LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libeatmydata.so wine /mnt/Games/Games/Path\ of\ Exile/Client.exe

It will throw a bunch of errors like the following but works anyway.

"

You might need to enable the multilib section in /etc/pacman.conf (not multilib-testing).

I have the same issue. I am on Debian Wheezy 64bit.

Despite this error showing up, the allocation runs faster. I tried it without the prefix, which took a long time and after that using the prefix lead to much faster allocation. So I don't know why it shows me this error but is still working.
