Return of Reckoning

Hello folks,

Heres a little information about how to get RoR to work under Linux. I am going to assume that you're at least somewhat familiar with Linux in this guide and know how to run your own commands for your own distro. I am going to be using Fedora 22 as my basis for this - but it should work on Ubuntu, Mint or anything else. I am using wine-1.7.49 (Staging) and wine-mono 4.5.6.

I would suggest creating a brand new 32-bit wineprefix or using an existing one. It has to be 32bit. Using winetricks install the following:
From this you can run the RoR launcher and login and play! The launcher seems to push out an error, but still connects fine and gets you ingame. I haven't played long, nor messed with the default settings - however it isn't throwing anything odd in wine so I think it'll be ok.

EDIT

It appears if you put the texture cache beyond anything but 'default' you will crash when rotating the camera. So uh, don't do that.

Thank you very much! = Sticky!

Can't run new launcer in mint, it crashes when input field (login or password) gets focus with console output:
have you any ideas, what else i should add to existing wine/mono installation?

UPD solved by installing mxsml3 before dotnet4 via winetricks

UPD2. Damn .. it works w/o patching wine. Only one issue - should be used in fullscreen mode, to prevent losing mouse if pointer moved out of window borders.

i am able to launch the game and login but am unable to create a character. seems like a similar others are having. set permissions to 777 on all files to rule that out.

Back in the past I needed to patch & recompile wine to get WAR works. I was running it on Linux Mint afair, on box with 4GB of ram, CPU-integrated graphic card handling two monitors. SC wasn't really an option, but I was able to farm lizards in LOTD On modern box with dedicated GPU it should be playable. I think I was using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974986. It's pretty old and most likely this patch was already incorportated (or not in wine, but maybe someone will find this usefull. Unfortunatelly I have only virtual machines at the moment, so I can't check this myself. Good luck, anyway! [;

@Clements

same prob at first launch and all the next restarts are black screens with the mouse pointer only, looks close to something working but no clue :p

The game runs very well in qemu with vga passthrough too, if you don't want to mess about with wine.

Hello All!

Just tried to run the game again, since the settings Demorde used are for the most part the same ones I tried back in the days: http://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/ ... f=4&t=2973

Again Iam stuck at the very same problem as before:
- Game starts
- Main Window is opened
- no way to create a character or choose a server http://imgur.com/WwycSyu

i am able to launch the game and login but am unable to create a character. seems like a similar others are having. set permissions to 777 on all files to rule that out.

I also made sure all permissions are set to 777 like clements suggested, but didnt work out

Does anyone have an idea? I was so eager to play WAR again and this post sparked high hopes and seeing that it did already work and I cannot reproduce this success frustrates me.

Thanks folks

Ok, got it working since the day before yesterday and gotta say I missed that game.
I still dont know the problem though... Just copied my brothers client from his windows machine and that one worked flawlessly using the same WINE-prefix.

I suggest turning on the CSMT settings in winecfg -> staging
Seems to run smoother on my system and fixed all the texture-errors I was running in.

Thank You demorde!!!
