Lineage II Freya on Wine 1.9 on Mint 18

[msknight]

Hi Folks,

Running Mint 18, 64 bit, Cinamon on an AMD A10 with Nvidea GTX 750 TI using the recommended nvidea-361 driver.

Trying to launch Lineage II Freya and am getting the following...

fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 1.9.17 is a testing version containing experimental patches.

I did try the Noveau driver, but L2 launcher complained about not detecting video.

Wine was downloaded pre-compiled.

A search on the internet has proven fruitless.

Any help appreciated.

Hiya,

That console output looks suspiciously like the start of the so called nProtect GameGuard protection tests. See WineHQ Bug 3952 - GameGuard does not work in several applications ...

See WineHQ AppDB: Lineage 2 ... The most recent release (of Wine tested) - still mentions requiring a anti-GameGuard crack.

GameGuard is basically system-level rootkit... So the tl;dr version is that vanilla Wine will never support it...

I did use a DLL to subvert that, but I get more detail in the L2 error window that might narrow things down a little....
