Before installation, run "winetricks ie6 dotnet20 gdiplus".
The launcher fails to apply the downloaded update patch, and returns a "Path not found" error... but you can work around it by manually replacing the launcher with an updated one.
It's possible to run/update/install games through the launcher by using the "/LaunchGame=" parameter.

Any news on this one ? Did anybody tried to advance this a bit ? Some of us still want to play Lineage 2 on official and free sites :)
Would be nice to have a NCSoft Launcher working

The Script is not there anymore.
This is my attempt for a script, i do not know if Timo R. use the same logic. (tested and works on ubuntu 11.10)
#!/bin/bash
patch=$1
extension=${patch##*.}
folder=${patch%.*}
#TODO check if unrar and wine exist
#TODO check if XDelta.exe exist in path ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/NCSoft/Launcher
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/NCSoft/Launcher/
if [ "$extension" == "ncpatch" ]
then
echo "Extact PATCH"
/usr/bin/unrar x $patch
echo "Get list of patched files from xml"
for patchthis in $(cat $folder/PatchManifest.xml | grep "FilePatch" | awk -F\' '{print $(NF-9)}')
do
echo "patch $patchthis"
wine XDelta.exe patch $folder\\ProductFiles\\$patchthis.X-D-E-L-T-A $patchthis $patchthis.patched
u_patchthis=${patchthis//'\'/"/"}
rm $u_patchthis
mv $u_patchthis.patched $u_patchthis
done
echo "Get list of added files"
for addthis in $(cat $folder/PatchManifest.xml | grep "FileAdd" | awk -F\' '{print $(NF-5)}')
do
echo "copy $addthis"
u_addthis=${addthis//'\'/"/"}
cp $folder/ProductFiles/$u_addthis $u_addthis
done
echo "Get list of removed files"
for removethis in $(cat $folder/PatchManifest.xml | grep "FileDelete" | awk -F\' '{print $(NF-5)}')
do
echo "remove $removethis"
u_removethis=${removethis//'\'/"/"}
rm $u_removethis
done
else
echo "Please provide a valid NCSoft patch (the file must have the extension .ncpatch)"
fi
sorry, but I'm a total newbie...

could somebody explain how you use the abovementioned command to launch games?
I have installed Launcher with the fix as suggested, however when I try to run it, I just get a small white rectangle with a progress bar that never fills up.
Patcher Script

I wrote this small script, which for me successfully applyed the latest launcher patch.
Not sure if it is 100% correct, but at least it works.

NCLauncher
by Patrick "WaCrex" Linerudt on Sunday April 25th 2010, 2:48
I'm trying to make the NCLauncher work in wine 1.1.43.. I'm getting error messages and a gray main-window so far... but.. if I replace the launcher with an updated older version I'm able to install/update & launch the game.
I have created a wiki to store the progress on the launcher & fixes.
Feel free to make changes if you figure out some fixes for the errors.
More errors & possible error fixes can posted in the discussion page.
