Additional Comments
Game installs partially. Installerwindow Freezes at installation but works and installs the game. Starting the launcher shows errors of missing Language Files. Starting the game with the launcher is possible and works just fine. Showing errors of missing Language Files again. Menues are just strings but work. Copying the whole Installation out of my Windows Partition in the Gamefolder works beautifully. Had to do the whole Folder because i haven't patched under Linux but under Windows. With Language files everything works smoothly after the annoying Message, that I have a 0 MHz CPU... The major Problem is no Mouse Control. Mouse didn't work at all. Basics like starting the game and naming a Character are working with Keyboard but without Mouse nothing else is possible. I thought of giving the game "garbage" ranking BUT the game runs and it is possible to move a bit like a crab and strafe through the first part of the world. It is not playable but useable. The game would get silver without the bug with the Mouse and raising easy to Gold/Platinum if the Installer would install the Language files too. No Freezing, no Game-Protection Error.

I'm trying to install the game on Arch Linux with Kernel "Linux 5.6.3-arch1-1" mostly with the settings from www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/hellgate-london-guide.2475/.
The Setup.exe starts fine but after entering the registration key it flashes the installation screen and goes directly to the last one without error message, saying "Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again."
Did anybody encounter that and knows how I could possibly debug that?
I already tried different Wine versions (3.6, 5.5) and different Windows bases (Windows 7, Windows XP) and also using POL and wine directly, but nothing changed the situation.
