Okay so I am having a terrible problem with Final Fantasy XIV on Linux mint 13 3.2.0-23-generic running wine 1.5.8... I keep getting this error when verified and booting up into the game running fullscreen 1366x768 on a alienware m11x r3 running bumblebee-nvidia.

Have you tried the tips in

yet?

Yes I have IE8 and winhttp installed, and all the tips and tricks are for OSX not linux. What I did was copy the files over since my laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd rom drive in it.. Hell I don't actually know the last time I bought something with one or any media that needed one.

Anyways, I was maybe going to try and install fresh from the FFXIV collector's disk image torrent I downloaded since SE doesn't seem to have an online client downloader.

I have upgraded to 1.5.10 wine and also have dx9, dx10, and dx11 dll's installed from winetricks and have Diablo 3 running pretty smoothly through it already.

I will see if installing it from fresh install, but I used a virtual cd/dvd rom drive in win7 desktop to actually install it...how would I perform such a task in Linux??
