Mac Catalina, Wine (wineskin, crossover, playonmac), DSETUP.DLL Issue

[xaix1999]

i get that you are using crossover and wineskin gui but can you run winecfg and also wine64?

I uncovered a little more info. It appears the DSETUP.dll file is actually loading, but perhaps having an issue when it gets to load some graphics libraries. If I use the installed DLL, I can see the same exception raised, but then it goes on to load opengl/d3d stuff (because of wine) however when I use the P99 provided one, it never debug outputs those opengl/d3d libraries.

I would love a Catalina solution, as well. Thanks for your efforts, Frezzo. I will be watching this thread.

I have petitioned the P99 team to see if we can get some assistance from them. I assume as Catalina/Big Sur becomes a larger percentage of installed Mac OSes, this will become more of an issue.

I have tried doing everything from command line as well directly. Wine64 doesn't not work because Catalina will complain about 32bit applications cannot run in 64 bit mode:

is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.

parallels or bootcamp

I've tried parallels, and I cant. Its mouse functions just don't work the way I would like that to. I have reached out to them as well to try to figure that out. Bootcamp could be an option if needed, but I'd like to try to resolve this if possible.

buy an ssd external drive and install a bootcamp.

that's what I did after 2 days trying to get p99 working on imac.

mouse behaves better via parallels window
no mouse issues via bootcamp

[freezzo]

I found out how to fix my mouse issues I believe in parallels 16. Using this setting in the Boot Order => Flags box helped:

device.usb.enable_mouse = 0

I also have it set for "Auto detect for games"

Now to figure out the gamma issues.
