regnum + wine

[Timvarazslo]

Greetings everyone!

have anyone managed to run the game from wine
i'm trying to do it from gentoo
the game client hangs at the "checking firewall" window
it says i don't have permission for creating SOCK_RAW socket
i've searched the internet and found a kernel patch for older kernels, but anyway i don't want to mess the kernel with that

thanks for the help!

game works in wine but... it has native linux client lol, why use wine?

[Miraculix]

why use wine when there's a native linux binary? O.o

Run Wine as root and see if it works. Then it's just a permission problem and can be solved, otherwise we will have to test further to find out the real problem.

Nighchill, Miraculix:
yes, that's the reason i chose this game
it ran a few months ago, but i had some problems in the game... but at least i could play. now the game crashes after the verifying procedure when i hit "enter the game/world/realm" button (sorry i don't remember exactly)
(i think it's the same problem which has the chroot workaround)

ArcticWolf:
well, i don't have permission issues now, but it still hangs at the firewall checking
i will examine it tomorrow, and post some messages...
(a have a separate computer for firewalling, there is no firewall on my main machine. the game works with win xp)

thanks for the help

eh, when i start wine as root, the game doesn't recognize my video card, it recognizes nvidia instead of ati, and i can't choose opengl
i have to check "forse safe mode" to reach checking firewall window
and that point the game hangs

i have checked again: doesn't recognize the video card as normal user either, but i can choose opengl...

can you post here exact issue / backtrace? it probably is segfault. btw, running it on wine with os drivers will run the game, but at 5-10fps

kernel: 2.6.29-r5

mesa-7.4.2

(i'm happy about the 5-10 fps:S)

[Nightchill]

since you have xorg 1.5.3 you can still use proprietary drivers for your graphics card, even if it's not supported by the manufacturer anymore. so i suggest you get catalyst or nvidia drivers and enjoy in native linux performance

[Timvarazslo]

Nighthill, i'm afraid i don't quite understand what you're saying
i have an ati card and the best thing that it's an old one (radeon 7500), which is only supported by open source drivers

or have i missed something, recently?
(now i'm trying to play with downgrading some packages...no luck so far)
