What works

So far, character creation, logging in... everything seems totally functional.

What does not

Without the workarounds, you cannot finish installing the game.

Workarounds

Use win32 WINEARCH

The version of .NET required by the game only installs correctly if you are using the 32bit arch setting. I set it as an environment variable in my bash profile before installing the app or creating my wine environment.

export WINEARCH=win32

Manually Install .NET 3.5 SP1

You will need to install the .NET 3.5 SP1 runtime manually before launching the game. If you let the game install it, it says something about enabling features in windows. I installed it via winetricks:

winetricks dotnet35sp1

Use GDI instead of OpenGL for DirectDraw

There is some bug with the OpenGL implementation that causes the screen to flicker but be mostly black. Switching to GDI fixes this issue. To do so, you will need to create a registry key to use GDI instead of OpenGL for DirectDraw.

wine regedit

Create a folder under HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Wine called Direct3D. Add a String value `DirectDrawRenderer` and set it to `gdi`.

What was not tested

I only made a character, logged in, left the Inn and talked to some dog (Hello!). There's a lot more game functionality that could have issues.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary
