7th Heaven / Re: Getting 7th Heaven to Work on Wine
« on: 2020-11-22 17:59:28 »
Hello! I, just like you, tried to run this wonderful game on Linux and I succeeded with varying degrees of success, because sometimes I received an error with code 5.
My system: Ubuntu 16.04, 1080Ti, 455.38 drivers, 16GB RAM, Wine 5.4 staging. Install according to this instruction using Lutris. And the first time the game started without problems, with mods, but then it began to start with varying success, very often giving error code 5. I tried different versions of wine, but nothing helped. I also noticed that sometimes, if you kill the 7 heavens application in time, the game started with mods, but then it stopped working.
Remembering the separate X server, I decided to try and run it on it and it worked! The game runs stably, every time, in full screen, with all the mods!
In the terminal, we write "xinit xterm -- :2", and switch ALT + F8, switching, in the terminal we write the path to the prefix 7 heavens, I use playonlinux, I just start it, and from it there are 7 heavens.
In your distribution, the commands for launching a separate X session can and most likely will differ.
In order for the terminal to immediately start in a separate X session, we need to write the following line "xterm" in the file .xinitrc in home directory and make this file executable.
Please try it, I hope that everything will work for you without problems!
