I am having a problem with Lord of the Rings Online. The games load up but after a few minutes the game video locks up but the sound can still be heard and I can not seem to fix it. Here is the error message I get http://pastebin.com/LGDpeV4q I am running wine 1.3.21 on mint 11 64 bit KDE, compositing is off, graphics driver is nvidia 270.41.06, and 32 bit opengl drivers are installed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The main problem in the appdb for Lord of the Rings and DDO has to do with changing zones and loading new characters.

The only known 'fix' which doesn't fix it but mitigates it greatly is that when zoning, change to very low textures in the advanced graphics tab.

Also, I know wine 1.3.21 has some pretty severe mouse problems in DDO, at least on my Macintosh. Per the appdb, it seems LOTRO does as well.

Depending on your set-up, the AppDB might have some more help for you. Hope that helps.

I wasn't following this thread but LotRO is working fine for me, here's
my set up if it helps:

Wine 1.3.21 installed from package manager (Suse 11.4 KDE)
Nvidia 460 card, 256.53 driver (old driver due to newer drivers
conflicting with Suse/kde)
using pylotro launcher, stand alone version
no winetricks

I have had no problem loading characters, changing zones, or with my
mouse. The advanced graphics tab says my textures are on high and
texture filtering is trilinear.

If there is anything I can look up about my install that may help
someone fix a problem with theirs just let me know what you need.

I'll have a look. So far the recipe for installing seems to be

wget http://content.turbine.com/sites/client ... rohigh.exe
rm -rf ~/.wine
winetricks vcrun2008 # for bug 24020
GC_DONT_GC=1 wine lotrohigh.exe # for bug 22152

It'l says it will take 5 hours to download... 10GB is a seriously big game.

heh. wine runs out of file handles. on ubuntu 11.04, it
runs out after 4096, so you have to restart pando
every hour or so; it downloads 2GB before it dies.
On older ubuntu's, it would probably crash after downloading 500MB,
since the file handle limit was lower there.
No problem, just keep retrying.

Since the downloads are so large for both LOTRO and DDO, I thought I would point out that they now have a file planet download that might go better than Pando for those wishing to play/test/debug.
