I installed playonline under WINE on Ubuntu. It installed without any problem, and when I went to load it up it even starts to open up like it would in windows. But then an error appeared: _______ Error Code = 20008027 Can only be displayed properly in 32-bit true color. Start Playonline viewer anyway? _______ If I click no, it closes. If I click yes it actually starts up, plays music, and I can hear the sound it makes when it hovers over something I can click. But the screen is all black. Now I know that 32-bit in Windows is 24-bit in Ubuntu, so I checked to make sure, and I do have 24-bit enabled in Ubuntu. I don't know if the problem is just because WINE reports to the program that I am using 24-bit instead of 32-bit or if it's something more. In any case, I can't do anything blind. I am aware that FFXI probably won't run perfectly if at all under WINE but I would like to at least get to the login screen so I can read my Playonline ID. My only backup of that is in the user information that I copied into that Playonline installation and at the moment I don't have access to windows so even if I won't be able to play I still need to get this to display. Thanks.

Half-life said it needed a certain bit depth, but I was certain I was running it. The issue in my case was something with the X server. That was on an older distro that required changes to the xorg.conf file. I'm not sure exactly what resolved it, but I'm pretty certain that Wine can work in 32-bit mode (24 bits of colors with 16 bit alpha/blending). The appdb says PlayOnline does works. Good luck. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5342&iTestingId=4857 -Tres - Tres.Finocchiaro at gmail.com

It may not work on Wine for Mac due to the broken X11 on the Mac. James McKenzie
