Has anyone been successful in setup of launcher in a linux environment? I have a friend attempting to play but he is running ubuntu, np I can probably get it working for him with wine and maybe some other work arounds but was curious if someone has already went through these steps? If not I can document the steps I take if I'm able to get it working for him.

good luck

This is a showstopper for me as I don't run Windows natively anywhere.
(Note: Mac OS X runs DAoC the same way Linux does, via WINE that you install via Homebrew)

Any way to run the Uthgard patcher/launcher without the .NET 4.61 requirement?

OK I did the following:

* I installed Wine Mono from here: http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/4.6.3/
* I installed Wine Gecko from here: http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2. ... 40-x86.msi (because I'm running WINE 1.8.4)
* Imported/Synced SSL certificates with: ne mozroots.exe --import --sync --url https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... rtdata.txt from .wine/drive_c/windows/mono/mono-2.0/lib/mono/4.5

I go to Play button and copy the uthgard:// URL and I plug it into:

Code: Select all

wine uthgard.exe --url uthgard://.....


I get the error:

Code: Select all

Failed to contact authentication server:Could not connect to the authentication server. Please check your firewall settings.


Checked firewall, it's allowing all traffic to server.uthgard.net. I see SYN, ACK, SYN+ACK TCP handshake, followed immediately by FIN.. which means the client closed the connection immediately.

Guessing it won't run under WINE yet?

Do I install NDP46-KB3045557-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe (DotNet 4.6 installer) under WINE, or go with the Wine-Mono-4.6.3?
I ran the DotNet 4.6 installer as per: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... ngId=92745
(with the /q commandline) and it finished.. but it can't run uthgard.exe properly.

I cannot reproduce this error since I run Windows natively but as a middle ground wouldn't it be possible to run DAOC via a Windows virtual machine on your Linux host with GPU passthru enabled?

Which virtual machines support GPU passthru? Just KVM (a form of XEN?), what about VirtualBox?
Maybe if I had a Windows 7 serial number.. I could

Getting it working under wine is currently stalled because there is no support for some of the injections that the launcher does.
(The drawback of using so new dependencies.)

You need proper 3D support to run it inside a VM.
This means VirtualBox will not work.
VMware I know for sure works, but the fps is flaky.

KVM works with passthrough, not without.
Setting it up can be tricky though, because first your hardware need to support it, and not all do.
It is also very picky with the gpu drivers, and the windows.iso you use.
When you finally have it set up however, then it is as good as dual-booting.

(Check out virt-manager if you are new to it, as it does an okay job.
Feel free to ask if you get stuck.)

Do I need Intel VT-d support to do the passthrough?
I'm running an i7-3630QM which is only a 3rd gen. i7 and it doesn't support VT-d.

EDIT: Yep, checked around. You do need VT-d to do any Passthrough of video. Oh well, so much for that idea.
Perhaps my next laptop, I'll set up Xen or something similar with a Dom0 and just set up various VMs and passthrough that way.

Make sure https:// works under wine. You might need to update your local certs? I.e. by running "mozroots --import --ask-remove" or similar?

Hi,

I ran:

wine mozroots.exe --import --sync --url https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... rtdata.txt to update/import the SSL certificates

Has anything changed since then? Do I need to use a different URL to pull in the certs?

Does Uthgard only do OpenID now? I can't see how to log in with Google anymore.

OK tried it again.
When I install the Uthgard Launcher setup, it wants to download .NET 4.6.. which fails.
But then when I run:

Code: Select all

wine ./uthgard.exe uthgard://longcode

I get a transparent 'Uthgard' graph pop up in the middle of the screen then get:

Code: Select all

Failed to contact authentication server:Could not connect to the authentication server. Please check your firewall settings.

I guess it doesn't like mono 4.6.3.

EDIT: Doesn't work with mono 4.6.4 either.

I tried starting over and installing Dotnet 4.6 (which, I don't think fully works on WINE 1.9.24... anyway)..
When running the Uthgard Launcher, I get:

(In winecfg, I set up D: to point to the directory above the Dark Age of Camelot game which is installed in a directory called 'Uthgard'

I'm not sure of DotNet 4.6 actually works with WINE properly, so it might be that Mono is perhaps our only hope.
If only the Uthgard launcher worked with Mono 4!

Did some more playing around...
