    Linux has always been a pain in the ass to setup and play, with differing instructions between running vanilla wine, lutris, and the steam deck guides, and for those who are inexperienced, somehow all these may somehow magically not work out. For those who still have problems with it, or are too lazy to set it up, my client (which is honestly just a script for setting up wine, winecfg and dll replacements) should help to run the game with minimal effort and knowledge.

    Tested on LMDE 6, but since this client runs on wine AppImage, I believe it will run on every linux desktop (that isnt arm based)

    Edit: Tested on steam deck, working without any issue
    borrowed from a friend to test

    Optional: If you just wanna view my kiddy scripts and manually setup the client, can view my github repo here:
    https://github.com/xiujk71/maplelegends-client-scripts

    Some stuffs to take note:
    - Your system needs to be able to run AppImage executable, as my script uses Wine AppImage.
    - You are NOT required to install Wine on your system. A copy of Wine AppImage is provided instead.
    - My script will create a wine prefix at "/home/<username>/maplelegends_prefix". Ensure that there is no "maplelegends_prefix" in your home folder when running my script for the first time.
    - You can manually update the MapleLegends client by replacing ./MapleLegends folder with the one from new MAC client
    - Does NOT work with systems that has AppImageLauncher installed. Make sure to uninstall it

    Instructions to run the client:
    1. Extract the 7z content on your PC
    2. Ensure maplelegends.sh, maplelegends-windowed.sh, ml_winecfg.sh & wine.AppImage have executable permissions enabled.
    Right click on the file -> Properties -> Permissions -> Tick "Allow executing files as program"

    to use command line instead, use
    chmod +x "filename"
    can view examples here: https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Setting_up_permissions_on_a_script
    3. Run maplelegends.sh on the terminal. Wait for the first client to launch. Then run again to spawn more clients if you wish to.

    1. If you are getting this error as shown below, run ./maplelegends-windowed.sh and see if it works.

    2. If you receive AppImageLauncher error, make sure to uninstall that

    There has been some talks on attempting to make a working client on flatpak, but nothing was done. I've then discovered Wine AppImage and had been holding persosnal scripts for about a year that runs MapleLegends via the AppImage, but was too lazy to polish it.

    if the scripts proves to be user-friendly enough to simply click-and-run without any knowledge, we may have a reason to maintain a linux client officially, which will help to simplify the small percentage of linux & steam deck users here
