I tried changing the server address to its IP in patch.cfg , but the patcher still didn't start normally, and when it did (by closing the window) it couldn't connect at all.

PS: check out the manpages for wineprefixcreate and WINEPREFIX just to be sure you know what you're doing .. I don't think there's a way to uninstall directx or other non-recommended components in case you install them in the wrong prefix.

Tried it, used winetricks to install directx 9.0c and gecko, still no worky. Absolutely zero change.

Mikee on the appdb page recommends recompiling wine with this guide: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit. Unfortunately there's no knowing if that'll work yet as he's the only one who got it to work that way.

Wouldn't mind getting CrossOver Games for this but unfortunately it doesn't look like that does it either.

Yeah I know, I meant that as a way to safely try things with wine, without messing up your original .wine dir.

Just tried compiling wine 1.1.5, doesn't work either, same stuff.

I haven't been able to get Warhammer Online to run *at all* in WINE -_-'
When I get home I'll edit this post and stick in the command-line garble in the vain hope somebody can understand it!

Getting Game to run.

Copy winhttp.dll to the system32 directory.
wine warpatch.exe

Seems this hack gets the game running...

Awesome thanks for that, I'll give it a go!

err, where do I find winhttp.dll?

*edit* found it!

However it still doesn't run

Code:

nik@taonga:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warhammer Online$ wine warpatch.exe 
fixme:shdocvw:PersistStorage_InitNew (0x135e18)->(0xd953d0)
nik@taonga:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warhammer Online$

It just hangs on that fixme: for a little while, then nothing further happens and it goes back to command prompt =/
