Wonderland Online - game server doesn't work! PLEASE HELP!

Post by Timcampi »

Hello! ^_^

I have a problem with a game server.
The game is for windows, you know, but I have ubuntu on my computer.
So, I installed Wine to be able to run the game.
But actually.... I'm not able at all!
Anyway, can anybody tell me how to run it? It's a file .exe
I installed the game but I can't start it!
When user agreement appears, I click on "agree" and then it says "You are unable to reset the default data. Please check your information."
??? why????
(the game is Wonderland Online)
What to do??? Please help me! ç_ç

thank you very much!

What version of Wine? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

According to the AppDB, the game only runs in 16 bpp color mode. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... gId=52239v

What distro? Download links for the major distros are here: http://www.winehq.org/download/
If yours isn't one of them, ask your distro about new Wine packages. If they don't provide them, you will have to build from source.

I've installed Wine 1.2 because it was the only one in the repository, so, how can I do to instlall the 1.1.41 version? "to build from source", what does it mean?
I'm sorry but i'm so inexpert with ubuntu system and such, anyway, could you please help me?
Thank you very much!!

Ubuntu inexplicably decided to call all its Wine development release packages "1.2," so the package name doesn't tell me what you have installed. Open a terminal and type:

Code: Select all

wine --version
That will tell you the real Wine version.

However, unless you're using the "stable" release (which you shouldn't be, if you have the so-called wine1.2 package installed) I doubt the Wine version is the problem. The real problem is most likely the 16 bpp issue.

ok, I finally installed Wine 1.1.41 version, but I can't open the game yet, why?? What's the 16bpp issue?

That's the color depth of your screen. You're probably running at 24 bit color, and probably don't want to change your whole desktop to 16 bit. Comments in the AppDB are somewhat contradictory, but at least some of them seem to suggest you can get around this by running the game fullscreen in an emulated virtual desktop. There's a howto in the AppDB; start by following that. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... gId=52239v
