Errors while installing Guild Wars with Wine

[brossartr1]

Hello, I'm kind of inexperienced with Linux. I've only been using it for a couple of years (mostly in class). I just installed it on my new desktop and am trying to get Guild Wars working on it. Can anybody help me to troubleshoot these issues? The download screen pops up and starts downloading, but then these errors come up in the terminal and the download screen disappears. Thanks for your help. Ryan

Hi brossartr1

I see that it's been a few months, but in case it still might help you (or other googlers) :

This looks like you do not have 3D-hardware drivers installed (the "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing" error).
Have a look at the install instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/.../Nvidia (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation) for NVidia cards, or
https://help.ubuntu.com/.../ATI (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Install%20from%20Ubuntu%20repositories%20%28ea sier%29) for ATI cards.

If :
* you do already have the 3D drivers installed and native Linux 3D games work; and
* you're running a 64bit version of Linux;
then the "err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat" problem
happens if you don't have the 32bit drivers installed as well.
On Debian and (I presume) Ubuntu, the package required to fix this is nvidia-glx-ia32 for nvidia cards, or fglrx-glx-ia32 for ATI cards.

Caution! If you're using an ATI card DO NOT force the installation of fglrx drivers! Unless you have one of the new HD 3x or HD 4x series, forcing that driver will result in no video on your machine.
