I looked around and I didn't see a patch for the game. Maybe you should download the latest installer and see if the new installer has the patch installed.

It is a private server of the online game Ragnarok Online. I don't think this would affect it much, but they have a special encryption system in place to prevent bots. Like I said it shouldn't matter much since a friend of mine who uses Linux managed to get it running on his computer.

Just wondering what game is it you are working on running? When I used WINE my game was compatible too but I never got it working. I recently tried running it in Crossover and I only have a window size glitch which I an resolving now. If you can come to the meeting tomorrow I can see what I can do for you. Samuel Hollis Quoting Adele Richards <richardsa.flute.08@xxxxxxxxx>: It should be compatible because I have read on the forums that otherpeople have been able to get it working in wine. I have a feeling that this has to do with my computer and not wine itself.

If not then you're not going to get it working at all in linux. All those applications that let you run windows software in linux have wine at the core.

Brandontried to help me get it to work, and somehow Wine is causing hard drive errors or some kind of error of some sort that freezes up the computer. For now we're going to try running it in VirtualBox, and the game itself is giving me errors and not starting up. The error that the game gives me is "Could not initialize d3d or grf file has problem" which is an error I have seen on the forum for the game in the past. The administrator of the server said that that indicated a graphics driver problem. I'm gonna look into a possible way of solving this soon, hopefully.

Vbox will work but only if the game doesn't use DirectX and even then it will run slow. The best option that I have tested is Crossover Games. It is basically WINE but it works better. If you downloaded Crossover Pro or Games on the free day then all you have to do is install the software and then double click on the install file on the cd. I will be covering some of these options in my presentation on gaming in Linux on Tuesday November 4th. Samuel Hollis Quoting Adele Richards <richardsa.flute.08@xxxxxxxxx>: okay. I understand now. I'll give it a try.On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 12:57 PM, Brandon Blackwell < brb023@xxxxxxxxxx >wrote: You already have wine installed I know but is this the same game youwere having trouble with getting to work correctly in virtualbox. You do it the same way as when I walked you through how to use the iso downloader which john doc has already spelled out for you.

I have a game that I'm trying to install on my laptop using Wine, and yet when I try to open it (it is a .exe file) my computer freezes up. I tried using Terminal to open it by way of $ wine <filename.exe> but it tells me that it is an invalid command or something like that.
