What works
- Installing like windows (downloading and running setup exe from website) - Gameloader works without problem - Gameloader updates without problems - Starting game works. - Playing the game works fine
What does not
- Fullscreen, buggy graphics, and laggy, keep to full screen - Characters invisible (fixed by disabling hardware vertex shader in wine) - Characters vertex meshes mess up... ever sec the vertex jump around the character in a (seems to be) random position around the character... Older version wine 1.1.31 did not have this problem. onboard ATI HD4200 - Gameloader Status screen buggy, installing IE6 fixed this.
Workarounds
What was not tested
different graphics card Advanced playing, parties, battles or dungeons... DX9 and VC++ runtimes 2003/05 were installed before this test... Wine noob, so might have missed more ;)

Black Wall in Ravenwood/Multi-color Splash in The Commons
The problems of a black "wall" just inside the entrance to Ravenwood and a multicolor "splash" in the Commons are not Wine issues: both problems have been reported by Windows users on the Wizard101 Message Board. https://www.wizard101.com/posts/list/21857.ftl.
Launcher Error
Beginning with Wine 1.5.28, GnuTLS is used for secure connections rather than OpenSSL. On systems with older versions of libgcrypt, the launcher will throw up an error dialog when trying to load the Ravenwood News, and console output will contain the line
ient/BankA/WizardLauncher.exe: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.
This is bug 27036. According to the bug report, this is fixed in newer versions of libgcrypt, so upgrading that library should solve the issue (it did on my system). For users unable to upgrade, simply clicking "No" will close the dialog and the game will load and play normally.
Graphics Cards/Drivers
The platinum-rated test reports above are for a non-legacy Nvidia card running the proprietary driver. Problems have been reported with older Intel GPUs.
