Game boots fine, but won't connect.

Post by Kuldaj »

This is a fairly old game, with a limited community now.

The game is Realms of Kaos (http://www.realmsofkaos.net), I am on Ubuntu 14.04, with Wine 1.7.17.

I am fairly new using Ubuntu and using Wine. The game has installed fine, and opens fine to the log in screen. But entering in the information and clicking login, it just sticks on the "Connection Failed" screen. I am assuming it is missing some file or something that is not directing it to the proper connection address. But I am completely unsure of how to go in and fix it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually got it working, was able to go in to the config to fix it, the game now connects fine. But for some reason, I am getting the "Needs Administrators Privileges" message. I thought Wine automatically granted this, and I even tried using Win 98 / 95 as the versions, but to no success.

Wine does run with Windows admin privileges, but there have been bugs in the past about specific apps complaining about it. Post terminal output from the current problem.

This was booting up the game, logging in to the log in screen. Selecting a character a hitting log in. It gives one error about the "skin/graphic" for the game, for some reason it doesn't direct properly for the file, but it defaults back to classic. It then gives me the message "Error: This character is banned, if you feel you got this in error, please log in with Administrator privileges. This will only have to be done once." It works fine on my Windows Desktop after I got this message, ran it as Admin and then turned it back off.

Like I said before, its is an old game, and hasn't really been updated in years (a decade). Thanks again for your help.
