Gameplay Help and Discussion - [OSX] Unofficial Path of Exile port - 30/12/2018 status update - Forum

@Sparten890 Hopefully things get sorted out and you can participate in Open Beta this weekend. I know it can be frustrating to set things up with Wine, but bear with us and good luck with further experiments.	Posted by krifFinn on Sep 12, 2012, 8:13:25 AM Quote this Post

So here is a simple guide how to build a wrapper like the one originally posted by FKNKickass. There may be some unnecessary utilities within it, but they can't do any harm can they ;) Again, I should point out that it may take some trial and error to get this working but it is an alternative for those who had better experiences with v2 wrapper compared to v3. Here you are: Spoiler Install Wineskin Winery (I have version 1.7). Wineskin Winery lets you download Wine engines and create blank wrappers. I also have following software installed (not necessarily required, but can be of aid): MacPorts Xcode 4.4.1 (Also Command Line Tools in Preferences->Downloads) Xquartz 2.7.2 To create a blank wrapper: 1) Open Wineskin Winery.app 2) Switch engine to WS9WineCX11.2.0 (download it if it’s not on the list already), then select Create New Blank Wrapper and name your wrapper. Installing Path of Exile: 1) Right-click Path of Exile.app (or whatever name your wrapper has) and select Show Package Contents 2) Open Wineskin.app 3) Go to Advanced and check that you have Wrapper version 2.5.6 and Engine is WS9WineCX11.2.0. 4) Next select Tools and in Tools select Winetricks 5) Search the following support utilities and check all of them, after that click Run gdiplus ogg riched20 comdlg32ocx xinput dsound windowscodecs usp10 comctl32 mfc42 msvcirt vcrun2003 vcrun6 vcrun6sp6 native_oleaut32 dotnet30 dotnet30sp1 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx11_42 d3dx11_43 d3dx9_43 d3dxof quartz vcrun2005 vcrun2010 6) In Wineskin Advanced select Config Utility (winecfg) 7) In Wine configuration select tab labelled Libraries and add following overrides: d3dx9_43 windowscodecs d3dx9_42 dmusic32 dsound openal32 Then click Apply and OK. Close Wineskin.app 8) Download PathofExileInstaller.msi from Path of Exile website 9) Open Wineskin inside Path of Exile.app and select Install Software 10) Click Choose Setup Executable, search for PathofExileInstaller.msi and select it 11) Install Path of Exile, then close Wineskin.app 12) Open Path of Exile.app and it should begin installation For troubleshooting, try ”-gc 1” or ”--nosound” in EXE flags field in Wineskin Advanced, to narrow down what might cause crashes Any comments or reports are welcome.

i'm having slight graphical glitches which are very prominent at fonts and text, has anyone encountered the problem?	Posted by Chess on Sep 13, 2012, 9:05:58 AM Quote this Post

Texts are indeed a bit hazy here and there, but this haziness is more prominent especially in gem texts and in NPC speeches. Is this Wine-related or what?
