I installed the game using the download link from the wine appDB, install went smoothly, compiled the GUI launcher, tried to run game, launcher works but error comes up before game loads "The game client was passed invalid command-line parameters". AppDB says to edit UserPreferences.ini settings, but no file is created so i think this error is happening before that stage. Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to linux. Ubuntu Hardy, Wine 1.0-rc1
You need to patch the game to get it up to date (there is an option on the GUI launcher), the snag is you need at least LOTRO to be book 11 as the function used to patch externally wasn't exposed before then. Both the US & EU official LOTRO sites have links for complete downloads though it is a rather large 8GB
