I got Magicka working under Wineskin BUT it has a few issues.

(note: this is the Steam version of the game, [u][b]HAVE NOT[/b][/u] tried the non-steam versions)

[u][b]Issues[/b][/u]:
- Keyboard wont work
---- I did get it working, but only once. Installing dinput8 fixed it temporarily.

- menu runs at about 12fps
---- once you are actually playing though, it runs at about 35fps.

- takes a while for it to start up in Steam.
---- not sure why this is.



[u][b]How-to[/b][/u]:
1. Create a new blank Wineskin wrapper using a WS7Wine1.3.17 engine.

2. Open up the wrapper contents (right click on it --> Show Package Contents)
3. Open the Wineskin.app in there and click on advanced
4. Click on the tools tab then click on "Winetricks"
5. install the following using winetricks:
    -- d3dx9 (and all variations of d3dx9)
    -- .NET framework 3.0 (steam will try to install .NET 3.5 when you run Magicka)
    -- allfonts
    -- vcrun2005
    -- dinput
    -- dinput8

    -- Steam (install inside winetricks, not from steam website, should not make a difference though)


Once that is done,

6. open up a new text document, name it "[i][b]font-smoothing.reg[/b][/i]" and put this into it:
[code][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001[/code]


7. Then open up "Registry Editor (regedit)" (on the tools tab, also)

8. In regedit, click on the "Registry" Menu and click on "Import registry File"

9. Select your file and click Open.

10. Exit out of regedit and click on the Configuration tab.

11. On the windows exe box, put this in there:
[code]/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe[/code]

12. Hit test run.

13. Let steam do its thing to update.

14. Login to your steam account and hit the "install game" button on Magicka.

15. let it download.

16. after its finished, it will try and start the game. first it should try to install a few things. Just let it do its thing and continue.
 It will most likely crash on the first try. Keep on trying until the game runs.

17. When the game runs, you should be good to go…


Just one minor thing, when you go and play it again, it will still try to install its dependencies again and again. Easily fixed though.

18. Open up RegEdit again.

19. Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software --> Valve --> Steam --> Apps --> 42910

with that open on the right window, You should see one of (or more than one) of:
    -- DirectX
    -- DotNet
    -- XNA

If you don't see one of those 3, this is how you add them:
right click in that window on the right select New --> DWORD Value
Name it to either one of the above.

Then right click and select "Modify"

Change the value data from 0 to 1 and press OK.

Do that with all 3 of them.


Done!

Magicka should work with a few bugs now!
