Additional Comments
for playing go to .../Sword of The New World/release/ and use wine ge.exe -service
And then launching the app with:
WINEPREFIX="/install/path/to/.ies4linux/ie6" wine ge.exe
Except '/install/path/to' should be where you've installed IEs4Linux (defaults to the home directory).
Note though that under these conditions Wine will be using the
configuration set up by IEs4Linux, my advice would be to use it purely
for the patcher, and then once it's patched up and you've configured,
close the app and launch the actual game manually as followed:
Move into the 'release' directory in the main SNW directory, then use wine to launch the game with:
wine ge.exe -SERVICE -WINDOWMODE
You can of course drop -WINDOWMODE if you want to try it in fullscreen.
This will allow you to use your regular Wine configuration for the actual game.
Now run the installer. Extract the zip archive you downloaded of the game, move to the directory and run the installation file:
wine SNW_2.1.18_CBT.exe
Continue through the installer using all default options. Once finished, navigate to the Sword of the New World directory, and run Sword of the New World (not from the installer)
