Description

Free MMO RPG, 2007. Wikipedia.

Notes: this game need at leat 20 GB of disk space (+ 6 GB for high resolution graphics). Once installed (at least 1 hour), it will check files from 'Akamai', after 20 min of the same screen ('Retrieving content list from Akamai...'), you may kill the Wine process (named 'LotroLauncher').

Warning: because this game does auto update online, the compatibility might break some day.

The Lord of the Rings Online game is very easy to install. The registration with the login data and the selection of the server also work. If you then click on the play button, unfortunately nothing happens. The game does not start and there is no message. So I have no idea what went wrong there. Maybe someone knows some advice.?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and I was able to install LOTRO. The client crashes as soon as I login and I see the following errors on debug : 

err:module:import_dll Loading library ncrypt.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\StandingStoneGames\\The Lord of the Rings Online\\libcef.dll") failed (error c000007b).
err:module:import_dll Library libcef.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\StandingStoneGames\\The Lord of the Rings Online\\lotroclient.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\StandingStoneGames\\The Lord of the Rings Online\\lotroclient.exe" failed, status c0000135

any recommendations?

I found that Ncrypt started to be (partially) supported from Wine v1.9.15 (2016).

This is really more of an update.

I reloaded my system (for an unrelated reason) with Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.2, 64-bit.

LOTRO is working in Playonlinux, but I had to install proprietary (fglrx) drivers for my AMD HD7750 - the launcher would crash until I did this.

Again, this is the process I followed (to finally get it working):

- Instlalled the proprietary AMD drivers

- Started PlayOnLinux and selected "Install non-listed program"

 - Configured Wine with DXFullSetup, DotNet35 SP1, VCRun2005

 - Also configure Wine to emulate a virtual desktop at the resolution setting of my monitor (which is 1600x900)

 - When it prompted for "Choose file to run", I copied the game files into "~/.PlayOnlinux/wineprefix/lotro/drive_c/lotro/

 - I ran the following 2 commands in Linux terminal (after all the game files had been copied in) :

# chown -R myuser:mygroup ~/.PlayOnlinux/wineprefix/*

# chmod -R 777 ~/.PlayOnlinux/wineprefix/*

(Not sure how necessary this is)

 - Selected "TurbineInvoker.exe" as the file to run

  -  It runs, sometimes crashes, but that's fine - PlayOnLinux finishes setting it up

After this, I select the shortcut (both "TurbineInvoker.exe" * "TurbineLauncher.exe" work equally well)

And bam. I'm Playing Lotro.

will the above work on 32bit linux mint?

No reason it shouldn't, hygieia, the Wine version is 32bit after all

thankyou very much. Currently downloading the files you stated above on linux mint. Taking ages but hopefully worthwhile. Ihave lotro logging in and opening in wine but then the games moves incredibly slow. I had d393 which gave error 128 about resolution settings and could not even login but a bit better now I changed to opengl. At least I can login and see game even tho it is far to slow to play. hope it works better on playlinux

Im starting the process again with playonlinux and lotro. I need a full download so at present am downloading lotrolive.exe installation file from turbine. What is my next move to I choose it when asked choose which file to run or should I wait till whole game downloads?

Where is the install script?

no install script. In Playonlinux - Add non-listed program, use current version of Wine, confuger DXFull, DotNet35 & VCRun2005 ... I copied the game files from an existing Windows install ... and that's it. the launcher is a little slow and a little buggy, it (eventually) loads and I login and play

I am not a developer and I can't write scripts. I tinker until I get it working :)

The notes posted by Falgn0n (2015):
Tested (2015) on : Linux Version: Debian 8 (Jessie) Graphics Card: Radeon HD7750 Wine Version: 1.7.50
User (falgn0n) notes: Lotro Launcher is a bit buggy, crashes at times, just restart and it goes. Needed to fiddle with display settings in windowed mode until I could successfully configure the correct resolution for fullscreen. Once the game launches, everything works (so far).
