Hi there,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I will check it when I get home later today.
If you want to try installing it yourself, it's here:

I warn you, it's incredibly fun and well-designed. It can be addictive :)

Yeah, I've heard of it, but never really gave it any attention.
If you can't get it running, I'll try it out.
I have a super computer with Mint 14 and also have a Chromebook with ChUbuntu 12.04
So I can try it on both platforms and figure out how to make the game run.

Thanks for the link and the warning...

Wow, that last advice worked. It runs great, with only two issues noticable.

First, there is no sound.

Second the little particle effects, which move very very slowly, but don't seem to hurt gameplay at all.

I am running a 64-bit Debian setup, but I set the game up on a 32-bit Wine virutal drive (it didn't like installing dotnet30 in a 64-bit drive).

I'd like to become more of an expert on this. Can you explain briefly why you chose to install those particular libraries, and why Wine 1.5.18?

Also, any hints on the sound?

Thanks!

Ironically I can't get it running in Mint 14 32-bit
It ran fine on my Chromebook in ChrUbuntu, but now I'm having issues on my desktop.
Very strange!!

Make sure to always run in a 32-bit virtual drive because almost all games are only 32-bit compatible.
I chose Wine 1.5.18 because it is the only version of Wine that likes installing dotnet without errors or crashing. Not sure why, but it definitely works.

d3dx9 is directx 9. Most games require it, so it was just an an educated guess.
Since your debug showed a lot of "iframe" errors, that means its looking for Internet Explorer 8, but usually when a game requires Internet Explorer 8, that means it will need to be in a Windows XP environment with Dot Net Framework.

Games with these requirements usually need these libraries.

But, like I said... now I'm having problems running the game...
Exact same errors as you. Even with different versions of Wine
