I am currently trying to run Gothic 1.08j on a Debian wheezy amd64 based machine using PlayOnLinux or just the plain wine installation. The game runs in generel but only if sound is disabled. To get sound working, AppDB and other tutorials advise to get the native directsound dlls and add overrides to the wine configuration. Whether I download the dlls and add the overrides manually or use winetricks or similiar methods, the result is the same. The game doesn't start and displays the error message "C:zMusic_DM.cpp(czMusic_sys_DirectMusic::Init()) Failed to create performance object!" In the console (or PlayOnLinux debug log) I see the following error message: "err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C \\windows\\system32\\dmloader.dll" err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {d2ac2892- b39b-11d1-8704-00600893b1bd} could be created for context 0x3 " When I remove the override for dmloader.dll the error message stays the same but displays the name of another directsound dll. The dlls are always within the wineprefix in the systems32 folder. I have tried the following wine versions so far: 1.1.36 1.2.3 1.3.12 And always get the same result. Am I making a mistake by loading the dlls or is there anything else which could have caused the problem?

You need to be using the latest Wine version (wine-1.3.31) if you want any help from this forum. Also don't use Play On Linux, it's also not supported here.
Hi, Maybe it's not the good place to talk about it, but I've found this topic which is talking about POL problems, so.. I'm the creator of PlayOnLinux and as I said before, I really understand that wine developers don't have to support people here using POL/POM However, as a PlayOnLinux developer, I do a lot of different tests and I know when a bug is obviously not coming from one of our "hack" Indeed, we have a lot of bug reported (especially for manual installation, which does not install dirty hacks) and we don't know how to deal with them, because people can't really ask you. How can we do ? Thank's for having reading me, and very sorry if I'm oin the wrong place
