Tonight I started working on a port of DC Universe Online to Mac OS X via Wineskin. So far things have been encouraging but it's not yet playable. Below are the steps and packages I've went thru to install DCUO on my system. This is a bunch of information so it might now be laid out the best but i'll try to make it useful enough for anyone else wanting to help get this working.

Windows packages installed -
IE 7 from winetricks (dlls)
VCrun2008 from winetricks (dlls)
ddr=gdi from winetricks (settings)
DCUO_setup.exe, let DCUO Installer install Direct X and Flash

After installing the above the Launcher starts and downloads the 18 gigabytes of game files. Everything on the launcher looks exactly the same as under Windows. One note though, the configuration app (click the green button with the hammer & wrench and choose 'game configuration') does not start properly, it asks for .net 3.5 which it will not install from the launcher. After installing .net 3.5 via winetricks the app still crashes out. Not a deal breaker but worth mentioning.

After the game finishes downloading and you click the green Play button the screen switches resolutions like it's going to start properly. All I get is a black screen with no sound or video. I tried this with engine version WS8Wine1.4-rc5 (newest available) first. When it didn't work I google'd for information and found reference to a Linux user getting DCUO to work using Wine 1.3.32. I installed engine version WS8Wine1.3.32 but the end result was a crashing launcher at startup.

I also tried different configurations of virtual desktop and windowed/fullscreen options to no avail.


Port Link in the Port Database:
http://portingteam.c...niverse-online/ (doesn't work, launcher crashes)

My Mac OS X Version:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and 10.7.2

My Mac Model, GPU & CPU:
Hackintosh - i7 CPU @ 4.6GHz -16GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB video card

and

iMac 24' 3.06 C2Duo - 4GB - geforce 130

I don't know why the person uploaded a wrapper for
DC Universe Online  

cause dc universe runs on unreal engine 3 and wine has very minimal compatibility for unreal engine 3.
I suggest you dual boot into win7 if you really want to play dc universe.
Or wait for a newer version of wine

Agreed, but I'm sure compatibility with UE3 will eventually get better. Until then I'll just boot into Win7 when I wanna play.

Not giving up though I'll keep plugging away at it as updates premit.

[slavezeo]

Same results using WS8Wine1.4-rc6, which was released on 3-6-2012.

[lisapower]

Also not working for me, exakt same problem as written above, Black Screen, No Sound.

The game "The Ball" also runs with the unreal engine 3, and it also does get stuck on a White Screen.

cheers

[lisapower]

it asks for .net 3.5 which it will not install from the launcher. After installing .net 3.5 via winetricks the app still crashes out. Not a deal breaker but worth mentioning.

this happends to me to. and it's very fucking. because it takes 20min to install Frameworks, if not longer.

Sorry for my English , but I have played dc universe on Mac 5 min ago. I have used the same wine wrapper that was using to play champions online. That wrapper was built for startreck game, but someone wrote that it's works for champions, and it really did))

I have tried the Star Trek Wrapper but with no luck.
The game switches the Window a few times and then Crash! There is no go on Lion!

[SouthTuna]

Okay, after reading this, it seems so. So I guess that's only on Snow Leopard. I think, at least for the time being.
If anyone has fixes, please offer help A new wrapper can be made.

Oh, and it worked straight out of the download?
Or did you have to do something to it?
Because 2 people can't get it working on Lion:
slavezeo and lisapower

They have Lion OSX 10.7.3. What's yours? Do you have a different version?

[bradsm]

I also downloaded South Tuna's wrapper and am having the same problems. The instal screen loads up just fine but when the actual game launches it's just a black screen with no sound. I'm on Lion 10.7.2

Lion seems to have bad results with my wrapper.
Dunno what KGameLover1 did with the wrapper to have it work on Lion. Try asking him.

But we don't know what kind of Lion version KGameLover1 have? most reports tells you that on Lion 10.7.3 there is no go, maybe on 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 it will work, don't know.

Yeah. That's the problem. And he doesn't seem to have been online recently.

[yashprince]

[KGameLover1]

I don't even have the wrapper anymore due to me having no money for sub fees.
I did a lot of registry and Winetricks stuff.

stop trolling around. I deleted your unnecessary posts. If you want help, keep calm and give us some more informations. If you tell us it don't work, what should we do?

We need a crash log for example or some informations about your machine. Than we could maybe help you.

[yashprince]

It does not show a crash log. it does not even start after i hit play. I run a mac osx Lion 10.7.3 .

okay, simply right click on the .app file and click on show packagcontent.
There you will find wineskin in there. double click it.
Then click on advanced. In the new window, click on test run. After the crash he ask you if you want to see the logs, click yes and post the logs here.

UE3 support is pretty good now, except lacking xi2 support that can be fixed.
All Mass Effects run on UE3 f.ex.

Cider does actually have very good UE3 support with games like Mirrors Edge and Borderlands running almost flawless.
I do believe DCUO needs a launcher, so I guess that leaves cider out.

[SouthTuna]

Thank... you, cluthz.
