big thanks to Brickfist for writing the guide and testing

also big thanks to creative cl_ogar0 Mystical and many others who helped out with the test (apologies if i left out your names)

Mega big thanks to pkgforge for helping me out to create a wine appimage, with direct support from them. They also provided zenity (for UI) and text editor (for editing legends.ini) appimages

Wow, this is going down in online game history xD

 

I will give this a try and report back my findings as I'm using Conty instead of what you guys are using.

Update as of 8:40PM ET (2:40AM ST)
Installing this way was definitely easier which was cool to see which I highly appreciate. Downloading the Crossover version and then having it install the files was very helpful and surprisingly quicker than on Windows. When I first ran the non-windowed client, I got the GR2D error and tried out the windowed client which worked fine. I went back to use the windowed client and got the error that I've mentioned to Cak33 about how my mouse is stuck on a box of some sort and can't get out of it unless I ALT + TAB to another widow to close it.

Would it be something I use in the future? Of course! At this moment? Not until we get that sorted out with my mouse. For now, I'll stick with using Conty til that gets sorted out. I have the video of what happens that I sent to Cak if you'd like me to DM it to you.

 

question, if i use those scripts for updating the client easier, will it save my .ini settings?

 

nope xD

 

i guess it can be done manually, not a big deal

 

I would say that this form of playing on Linux is the best one I tried ever.

Thanks for keeping it updated, I hope to get into the server soon (right now I'm on a hiatus).

 

Updated my original post with my findings

 

Im not 100% sure but i think it has to do with virtual desktop setting resolution

 

I changed the resolution with winecfg to be HD 1 size and it gave me the same problem.

 

I could make work the 1366x768 client but it doubles the windows (Wine desktop and also the client)
I made the changes on the wine.cfg.
Here a photo:


EDIT:
I could make work somehow the 1366 resoultion into the first maplelegends.sh with that fix I did, if someone could double check for it (On desktop).

 

Now try if you can right click on the bar on top of window and put it on fullscreen (if you so wish)

 

can you try this?
1. enable virtual desktop
2. set some resolution (1366x768 for eg)
3. apply
4. disable virtual desktop. ensire 1366x768 is still written inside resolution.
5. apply
6. launch maplelegends_windowed.sh

i remembered this worked for me, but somehow slipped off my mind

 

Works perfectly, thanks again Cak33!

 

Can confirm that it worked basically plug and play to launch lower resolutions.
i personally have little bit more personal settings going on and got resolution 2 and ability to fullscreen with it so works better for me

 

I decided to give Debain Stable a try since I have a free 500GB SSD just sitting in my system doing nothing since I haven't had much luck with it on LMDE 7. After downloading and installing everything, it worked like a charm. I may switch to Debian Stable then one of these days since it even got better FPS than Conty did!

 

Client seems to work alright here though it seems to have the same issue as the previous guide where attempting to fullscreen the game just gives me the same resolution with the rest filled in black. This can be 'fixed' by forcing fullscreen in KDE (though all that does is ignore the rest of the screen so you end up with partially incorrect scaling and your mouse only works on a tiny section.) The error given when using alt+enter is this:

Code:

0148:err:d3d:wined3d_swapchain_resize_buffers Something's still holding back buffer 0 (020AFDB0).
0154:err:d3d:resource_unload Resource 0CF3E288 is being unloaded while mapped.
0148:err:d3d:wined3d_swapchain_resize_buffers Something's still holding back buffer 0 (07AC54E8).

Also noticed a bug where if you fullscreen via alt+enter, switch to another window and then try to switch back (you seem to need to click another window to trigger this), the game immediately minimises itself and refuses to come back; forcing you to close the game and restart. The terminal gives no logs on this error unfortunately.

Currently running on EndeavourOS (Arch-based) with Wayland WM and KDE.

 

have you tried forcing wayland driver?
Can be done through winetricks

 

That I would be unsure about. I have very little knowledge with wine in general I'm afraid ^^;
