Installed Steam, .Net 2.0, .Net 4.0 as per the unpublished crosstie, XNA 4.0 directly from the msi.
Then trying to run the game it crashes horribly. It looks like it's trying to open a video:
fixme:gstreamer:unknown_type Could not find a filter for caps: video/x-ms-asf
fixme:gstreamer:watch_bus decodebin20: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
fixme:gstreamer:watch_bus decodebin20: A Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed.
fixme:gstreamer:GST_Connect Gstreamer could not find any streams
So, trying to play the initial movie, I've installed the following:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53:i386 libavformat-extra-53:i386 libpostproc-extra-52:i386 libswscale-extra-2:i386 libdirac-encoder0:i386 libgsm1:i386 libopenjpeg2:i386 libvpx1:i386 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:i386
And then it complains about other missing libraries, but I don't think that's relevant. It still complains about not being able to open ASF files.
How can I open ASF files through wine? What are the wine requirements?
