Ok im away on vacation and I have been trying to get WoT to play on my portable linux machine while staying up late.  Trying to see if I can get it to work is almost more interesting then actually playing on this machine, as its giving me something to do.

Anyway: The machine is an hp mini 210 netbook.  I have picked up a .exe install file of .75% compressed textures (for game v.8.7) to see if I can get it to work, but I actually cannot find where play on linux installed the game too, so i am unable to actually apply the textures.  Im also running Lubuntu 12.10 and POL 4.2.1.


Launcher works/loads/updates just fine.  I get to the login screen and everything appears to work normally, even sound.  However when I try to log in, it gets to synchronizing with server and just crashes without an error message.

First off thank you for taking the time to consider this.  Second I would prefer no "Netbook sux, dont even try" stuff.  Im equally interested in just GETTING the game to run vs it actually being remotely playable.

I have been running it in debug mode today and found this in the log:

wine: cannot find L"C:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\ctfmon.exe"
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x411a06d0 at address 0x6df800

Im thinking this is whats causing the crashes. Now I need to figure out how install ctfmon.exe in wine.

That's probably not the issue, plenty of programs work fine with this message.
From what I understand it's "Alternative User Input Services", which is totally optional.

here is the debug txt right at crashing:

I interpret that as your video driver supports none of the texture formats the game uses, so it crashes.

Those are Direct X errors
What video chip are you running?

I have an Acer C7 Chromebook with Intel HD 2000 video chip and it can run some games with PlayOnLinux. My best success is Torchlight 1.
It actually runs really well to my surprise...
Other games like Drakensang launches but crashes with artifacts.
So it might be the limitations of your video chip that won't allow you to play certain games.

Find out what video chip your nebook is using and if its supported by World of Tanks

I know there is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY more debug output than that. Please post the WHOLE thing, not just the errors that you think are wrong. Read the stickies for more info. This will give us more insight into what is wrong.

This may or may not help, but you can try to run playonlinux with s3tc forced compression.

force_s3tc_enable=true playonlinux
If this does not work for WoT, at least try it for the games with artifact issues.

Hope this helps.
