I have seen some posts about rift, but none about the problems I am having, I have downloaded the patch, everything should be ready to go, but when I hit the start button, it thinks for a second and then just goes back to the regular "play" button. I have installed using winetricks.. I am not too familiar with wine, but I did get wow running a while ago.. any help would be greatly appriciated, I would also like to get lotro running, it is downloading right now. Why dont' they just make linux clients? lol thanks in advance neganx

That may give at least a general idea of where to start and/or may match something already listed in the appdb.> any help would be greatly appriciated, I would also like to get lotro running, it is downloading right now. Why dont' they just make linux clients? lolUsually it's best to do a different thread to ask about a each game unless the problem you have is the same in all of them. It makes it easier for people who may be able to help to see and follow the discussion. That said, LotRO seems to be a pretty easy setup. So far the PyLotRO launcher seems to work well and the directions on it's website are pretty clear. If you run into trouble it would be best to start a new thread for that and include any error messages you get.
ok, sorry about that, I am a command line guy, but not at all comfortable with wine yet, just haven't really played with it, here is the command line output, the launcher opens from the desktop icon.. but not from command line, I may be attempting to run the wrong program in the folder as well, again most threads I have found on rift say everything works but the...
