I was able to grab the launcher and successfully start it by inputting the following in to terminal:

Code: Select all

PREFIX="$HOME/Games/warhammer-online-return-of-reckoning"
ROR="$PREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Return of Reckoning"

mkdir -p "$ROR"

wget -O "$ROR/RoRLauncher.exe" "https://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRLauncher.exe"
However, upon attempting to then login with the launcher I get an error "Game files are missing, please reinstall". No information on what files are missing. Reinstalled the game twice, same issue..

Your download is most likely corrupt or something. zip file should be 15.6GB or around that and the exracted install folder should be around 17GB. Make sure its fully downloaded and successfully extracted.
