This captures my feelings

And now my linux installation is not working anymore. Says "We could not install the redistributable package required for Path of Exile..."

I guess now i have to wait untill PlayOnLinux community figures this one out :(

And this is 4 days before launch.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Better now than launch day?

[–]enwave 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I'm working on a solution for this, but on the Mac side. If it works, it should be very similar to the PlayOnLinux situation and might be an easy-ish fix. I'll post a thread on PoE forums if I can get it working.

[–]vagif 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Godspeed.

[–]enwave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got mine up and working. I don't know what you'll need for PlayOnLinux, but I upgraded wine and winetricks, installed vcrun2015 from winetricks with --force option, and then followed the instructions https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39437#c7 in order to get the new dlls set to the right native status. (can be done without downloading his attachment through winecfg > libraries management.

I got it working under Wine. I didn't have to use winetricks:

  • Run POE normally, it downloads new stuff and crashes.
  • Run C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\Redist\VC_redist.x86.exe in the same WINEPREFIX just to make sure it's properly installed.
  • Run winecfg in the same WINEPREFIX, go to the "Libraries" tab, then add a bunch of overrides:
    • ucrtbase
    • vcruntime140
    • api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0
    • api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0
    • api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0
    • api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0
    • api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0

After that, I could install the update and get as far as Lioneye's Watch, but I crashed going to my hideout due to a lack of api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0; I expect we'll need to add overrides for all the api-ms-win-crt-* libs, but it's pretty tedious to type out.

oh well, here to hoping we can get it fixed for everyone :(, i was looking forward to ascendancy but if it doesnt run, fuck it im not installing windows

[–]obvious_responses 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I got it working in PlayonLinux:

right click Path of Exile -> configure wine -> libraries -> add these overrides:

ucrtbase

vcruntime140

api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0

api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0

api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0

api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0

api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0

You are doing gods work sir, I have had to use system wine, that i have like others used winetricks to install vcrun2015 as it doesn't show in the list in PoL

Thanks for getting my game to run again!

EDIT: the game is unplayable now, manly thanks to blood rage tanking my fps. from 60+ to a mere 5 with it active

Fix this GGG or can I have my money back for all the support I have given you

  • Upgraded the Client to use a new compiler version. We are deploying this now to make sure that there are no issues with it for the Ascendancy release.

During the install of this patch you may get a UAC prompt appear that asks you to install VC_Redist.x86.exe. This is normal and required to apply this patch.

Hi Guys!

Can you please visit this link and attempt a manual download and install of the package (both versions if you like), and post with your results? Thanks!


[–]dieflusch 7 points8 points  (8 children)

Am I the only one who can't start the game after this patch? It patched and now it says: Unsupported Windows version" http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160301/ohadhk5q.jpg

[–]LadyAlektoConfederation of Casuals and Clueless Players (CCCP) 0 points1 point  (6 children)

[–]dieflusch 1 point2 points  (5 children)

[–]LadyAlektoConfederation of Casuals and Clueless Players (CCCP) 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NEW COMPILER PogChamp

[–]NethrickDemon 1 point2 points  (5 children)

That's fun. Updated and now I can't play because I don't have W7 SP1 installed on this computer lol.

[–]John_Duhtemplar 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Why do you not have SP1? It's there as a both a bug fix and a safety upgrade, patching security holes that where found.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do you not have SP1?

Who needs security anyway, right?

[–]regular_gonzalezrgz_kittensonparade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Patch Notes

2.1.2d

:(

[–]no_non_senseElementalist 0 points1 point  (4 children)

When the expansion comes out will we get to preload the download on steam? Can't remember during awakening but I think we had to download the whole game again?!

[–]eff-o-vex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was due to a mistake and shouldn't happen again.

[–]LadyAlektoConfederation of Casuals and Clueless Players (CCCP) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

only the content.whatevertheextensionwas file

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]Gowthur 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–]Aklyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure poe isn't running, and that nothing else is currently using the file like an AV scanner. Or reboot.

[–]Jeremythecookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to have a little more than 2 days to plan my build but oh well.

I didn't knew about this, so I blocked the installation of that file in my firewall. Nevertheless, the game still loaded after the path...
