Hello all, I've been trying (and thus far failing) to get the Japanese version of FFXI working under wine. I have been playing FFXI here in Japan since the release, so I have the original Japanese 4-disc CD set, plus the extra CDs/DVDs for each different expansion. I originally started with wine-1.3.8, and for the most part, the CD installs and POL/FFXI updates worked fine -- I was actually

Hello Wine Forum Members, This is my first post and I am looking forward to many more. My first initial question is: Is it possible to run FFXI on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix? I've seen some earlier posts about running FFXI on 10.04, but I haven't found anything where someone would be trying on something much smaller. I am new with ubuntu and Wine. So if this is possible is there some kind

Hi I have problem with FFXI since after the last nvidia/xorg/wine updates, the game occasionally freezes during gameplay. Sometimes it comes back but the most times it freezes for good and i must kill it to restart. I believe its the nvidia 195.x.x driver series and/or xorg 1.7.x because it worked just fine with 190.x and older xorg. I talked to a workmate who also plays the game on linux and the

Hi there Square Enix' new MMORPG is nearing its release and there are alpha/beta clients available. The beta does not work at all in wine, just weird network connection errors when it trys to connect to their servers. The official benchmark starts but 3D is not rendered, just a black screen. This is the console output: Code: fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format

I'm a recent convert to the Linux lifestyle, and I would like to get to a point where I rarely, if ever, have to boot into Windows on my machine. While I'm not a huge gamer, I do enjoy Final Fantasy XI. I would like to get it to run under Linux/Wine. According to the information from the AppDB, the only way to get FFXI working under Wine is to have a copy of the dxdiagn.dll from Windows

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

I have an HP Pavilion with the amd phenom 64 chip and 8 gigs of ram. I have wine installed and updated along with FFXI however I can not get teh game to load up and run. AM I doing something wrong. I am entirly new to this as I have had nothing but windows running. This tower came with Vista. I used a different HDD to install UBUNTU. Any help would be greatly apreciated as FFXI is the main game

Hey Folks. I've been playing FF8 in Linux the last few days (Software Rendering). Don't think it ever worked accelerated in windows either, though (GeForce card). The graphics keep a fair pace and everything would be good, if it weren't for the choppy sound. It seems to make a smal pause about once a second or so (when I'm lucky, the music plays without interruptions for 15-30

ive been using wine for about a month now and ive tried a couple different versions but i cant install or run anything on wine from a CD..i did a work around for it by just copyin the cd to my hard drive and got my game installed, but it comes with 3 play disks and an install disk, and when i try to play it even when the correct play disk is in and copied everywhere on my hard drive the game still

This has kind of annoyed me lately. The FFXI patch code has been around for ages now, but it still isn't included in development releases (currently 1.1.17). Nor priobably more usefully is the Fallout 3 patch which benifits others games with the VideoDriver ability?? Is there actually any reason why they are not included??

Hello, I noticed recently on the appdb that FFXIV had a silver rating and that most that reported seemed to be able to get it to work, just had to work for it. I started a new prefix. Used winetricks to install xact, ie8, winhttp, wininet and directx9. This got it installed and patched, but when the login screen came up it didn't display any of the image, but I could login. However, on the

I know the HowTo deals with installing FFXI from a DVD but I'm having problems installing this from an .exe downloaded from the Square Enix Store. Basically the installer runs, and I'm able to continue in the installer, then select the components to install (POL, FFXI and all 4 expansions). However, when I click Next, the Installer skips to the Install Completion window. Note that this

I've searched for this all over the place and couldn't find anyone having the same problem. I have a Logitech Wingman wireless controller. As far as I can tell from doing various calibrations on it, the kernel and all other programs detect all axis. However when trying to map the controller in wine, it detects all axes, including the slider bar at the top right, but the Y axsis on the

Hi I really want to play with Fantasy Grounds with my Mac OS X 10.5.8. Does it work or not, please? I see it taldek about not the .exe working.. Thank you very much

Hi, I am using rsync quite a while and it's just great in terms of bandwidth and speed. However, I have run into a configuration which causes me serious trouble: I got two directories, one on a linux file server and at another location a folder on a windows 2k file server which I want to synchronize over a ssh internet connection. The problem is that both are working directories and hence,

I am on a Macbook 4,1 with 4GB ram and X3100 GPU running 10.5.6, VMware Fusion 2.0.2 and CxGames 7.2. I am trying to get Runes of Magic to run, and I think it has something to do with wine. I tried installing and running this game in win2k, winxp, and vista bottles and all yeilded the same result (the pic). I am not running any additional commands to the application (-dx8, -noshaders, etc). I

QUESTION: Did Wine do an update around July 31st? Or is this a problem with Silkroad? Ever since an Update on July 31st on Silkroad I haven't been able to play that game. I open up the client and I get to the start-up screen, and when I select start, hackshield pro will come up like it's supposed to, but when it's disappears, I'll be stuck at the start up window without a start

I followed the instructions for setting up FFXI on Wine (including copying the .dll from the Windows XP system) but when I launch pol.exe, it just comes up with a black screen. I can hear music for a few minutes but then it crashes. Anyone have any ideas?
