Resident Evil Revelations / Biohazard Revelations UE Forum

Sup guys,

I am providing this information just in case someone else runs into the same issue.

The issue: The game downloads and installs just fine via Steam, but hangs during the loading screen when trying to start a new game or load an existing save file.

The fix: I checked Winehq for whatever might be missing to make RE:REV run after loading. And I found the answer. A user on Winehq posted that Wine needs the following, in order to run RE: REV: d3dx9, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, xact, wmp10.

So I went ahead and installed the following apps into my existing Steam bottle:

• Microsoft Media Sound Player Engine 9 via Crossover 13 (there's a Crosstie for it)
• DirectX 9 via Crossover Crosstie
• DirectX (recent) - was already installed in my Steam bottle
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 were already in my Steam bottle
• Other games in this Steam bottle: Torchlight 2 (installed via Crosstie), Serious Sam 2 (installed via Crosstie), Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2

What works:

• Everything so far, even multiplayer.

What doesn't work:

• No issues whatsoever so far.
• [Edit:] If your mouse movement is a bit too fast/jerky when turning around or aiming - turn off mouse acceleration in the game options. This fixes the issue, which can also happen on Windows. It's not a Crossover specific issue.

Additional info:

The game now starts and loads without a problem. It even loads and runs faster than on Windows! I played at medium to high settings with 60+ fps. Loading is a lot faster via Crossover as well. And to make things better - multiplayer works too. I am very, very pleased by this success. It can be so easy, if you know what you're looking for.

The above was tested on:

• Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 32- & 64-bit, Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
• Toshiba Satellite L750-16W
• Nvidia 319 proprietary drivers provided by Ubuntu
• Unity 3D activated, but Unity 2D (12.04 LTS) is recommended, if you experience performance issues with Compiz activated
• Make sure you have all libraries and dependencies installed on your system that Crossover 13 needs! This is very, very important. Write a ticket to support, just in case you don't know what I am talking about.

Have fun,
Alex

Great info, thanks for the tip! I installed everything you specified on my Macbook Pro and I can confirm that it works! Only problem though is that the game itself does stutter quite a bit, such as when entering a dark room and the flashlight turns on or when a monster jumps in, there's a very noticeable second or two of lag. But I'm sure that it's a technical limitation of Crossover. I imagine having to suddenly render a pair of monsters crawling out of the air duct or trying to correctly render your flashlight piercing the dark must be taxing as it is without Crossover adding another layer to the process. Thanks again!

Hi there,

you're welcome and thanks for posting your feedback. Say, what hardware is in your Macbook Pro? I don't have any stuttering whatsoever - the game runs smooth as butter. Are you using an integrated GPU by any chance?

Cheers
