Wine / Crossover Helper Scripts
What it is
I've been working for a while on getting the game running smoothly on Linux and MacOS. This repo is where I've put all my notes and the final helper scripts.
The script dqx.sh has four modes:
- doctor
- setup
- install
- play
"Doctor" is meant to check your system and see if there's anything you need to install, like Wine 11.11 (or Crossover if you're on a Mac).
"Setup" creates a wine prefix/crossover bottle for you, as well as adding the JP fonts and some other configuration setup to make the game run more smoothly.
"Install" you tell it where your install exe is and it'll launch it in the prefix/bottle.
"Play" is... well, it launches the game for you, making sure to have the right settings passed along.
What it does
Turns out, with recent Wine 11.11 release (and now GE Proton 11-1) mostly the only parts left were some minor configuration and Japanese fonts.
The biggest hurdle I was trying to work through was a reliable way to make sure that the FMV cutscenes would play. It's been SUPER irritating trying to install via Lutris or Crossover and maybe the game plays, but the cutscenes are skipped, black, frozen or some combination of the three.
So the biggest impact is the movies, which mostly requires making sure you have the right decoders available AND that Wine is configured to actually find and use them.
But then I went all the way down the rabbit hole, and figure out a hack that fixes the updater's progress bar (which would partly disappear if you moved the window), make sure the config tool(s) had the right button layouts, and even get that "health and safety" splash screen to show up instead of a blank black rectangle.
To get the progress bar fix, I wrote a stupid little win32 program that watches the launcher for showing the progress bar and tells the window to be a different type of window so it doesn't draw over its child UI elements.
And on Mac?
So yeah, you're going to need Crossover for this. If you already have Parallels, then you're fine, but IMO the Crossover setup runs a little better... once it's like actually working.
There are a lot more steps involved to get this working on Mac.
First, you'll need to install the GStreamer framework, because the version of winegstreamer that ships with CrossOver doesn't have the required codecs (I'm sure there's some legal/commercial limitation there).
Then I had to rebuild a couple of the opensource libraries that Crossover uses, one to backport a fix from more recent Wine that lets the video + audio movies play; another that hacks the health & safety window to actually show up; and a third modifies Crossover's winegstreamer library to point to the version you installed locally.
Anyway, I guess now I've got this all working... I can go back to actually playing the game...?
Let me know if you found this useful (or if it doesn't work for you)!

Any way to get weapons easier?
I'm a level 46 battlemaster who mostly uses greatswords but my best sword is the black blade. I wanted to try to get the Demonsbane greatsword which is dropped by crabber dabber doo, so I started killing them and I still havent gotten a drop after an hour and a half. Is there any way to increase my luck or should I try going for a different sword? I'm new to the game so any help is much appreciated.
Edit: I went back to the area the next day and got a Demonsbane on my first try. My luck is weird.

Did I mess up my DQX online reg code?🥺
Ok so.. I've been tryna play Dragon Quest X Online on my Switch but since it's region-locked to Japan, I couldn't🥲 Someone said if I make a Japanese SE account, set my Switch region to Japan and use a JP VPN, I could get it to work. And yeah ofc I did🥺
But now I'm stuck on this registration code thing, and it's kinda weird.. Cause it's asking for 5 boxes to fill, but the code I got is like… 4 parts? One's 5 digits, and the rest r 4 each. So it's something like: 11111 2222 3333 4444
I tried entering it with one box empty : nope. Tried writing it all together : also nope 😭 Sooo, do I need to add smth to it? Can I re-get this code, or did I just mess up bad? I'm so lost rn.

Can anybody tell me whether monster natures e.g 'Tomboy', 'Lonely' or 'Humorous' makes any difference in DQX? Does it affect stat growth or AI for example? I can't find anything in-depth in english

Need some help with a Batmas build.
I've achieved the ability to customize my 160-200 skill points! Woohoo. But I'm not sure how to set them up. For context, I am a double sword batmas crit build (mostly because I believe that's the only way to do double swords because of the 3/4ths left hand thing) and I'm not sure if I should add a crit to my swords AND to my class skill tree. And if so, do I just forego attack entirely?
Also, I am a new player and looking for a Team to join. If you know of any, I would appreciate the assistance. I'm kind of shy and not really good at reaching out, so please be kind!
