Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

What works

• Starting the Installation with webinstaller
  
• Patching with installed launcher
• Launcher works
• You can launch the game but its nearly unplayable 
• You have to set the graficdetails to "low" then you can walk in the world but its constantly lagging and really really slow

What does not

• Changing graficdetaillevel in game crashes the game (sometimes)
  
• Graficsettings other then "low" results in missing textures
  

Workarounds

What was not tested

• I did not play the full game, only the EU trial version. I don't know if there is a difference to the full game.
• I have not tested more then two minutes in game cause its not playable
• I have not tested the low res textures, you can extra download them but i don't think that makes a difference.

Additional Comments

You have to install directx9 and d3dx9 otherwise the installer will not work! You can use winetricks for this. Add "mmdevapi" with winecfg an disable it to enable sound. Cause of my dual monitor setup i had to set my winedesktop to my primary monitor size (with winecfg). My system: CPU: Intel i7 quadcore Gfx: Nvidia Gforce 275 GTX Gfx driver: 256.44 RAM: 8 GB

Since there hasn't been enough testing I suggest you for the time being to do these steps in order to produce results.

1) Go with a terminal to the destination where Age of Conan has been installed . (Update: probably not necessary in 1.31) eg. cd "/home/maniac/.wine/ drive_c/Program Files/Funcom/Age of Conan/" and so on

2) wine ConanPatcher.exe If you want to skip the Launcher, check Katsu Akimoto 's post below in the comments... of course dont forget u have to update the client :P ; Not Tested with wine

If you get errors about DirectX when the patcher starts , download and install it

Update Note: You HAVE to use the directx dlls to native after last tests. Note sure which dll as i used the winetricks script to set all the dlls to native (winetricks d3dx9)

Waiting for new test data by users in order to find bugs. Future test includes installing the game and running it , whereas as now running it from the windows partition
