ok, well im not amazing with Linux, but i got Dungeons and dragons online to work perfectly in the last version of ubuntu. i did, honestly! i just pulled my pc out again, updated to the newest version of ubuntu. tried to run DDO. nothing, quite cross. played around for a bit, tried a full reinstall of both wine, DDO and the LOTR launcher. as far as i can tell. im having problems with the launcher trying to patch the game, not wine, but i thought id post up here and see if anyone else is having issues. basically. when i try and patch the game i get this error from the launcher Code: rundll32.exe patchclient.dll,Patch patch.ddo.com:80 --language English --productcode DDO --filesonly wine: Call from 0x7b835a72 to unimplemented function msvcr71.dll._set_purecall_handler, aborting fixme:faultrep:ReportFault 0x32f638 0x0 stub wine: Call from 0x7b835a72 to unimplemented function msvcr71.dll._set_purecall_handler, aborting fixme:faultrep:ReportFault 0x32f638 0x0 stub wine: Call from 0x7b835a72 to unimplemented function msvcr71.dll._set_purecall_handler, aborting fixme:faultrep:ReportFault 0x32f638 0x0 stub *** Finished *** im fairly sure I'm missing something simple, but I'm dammed if i can work out what is it. im gonna take a break from banging my head against the wall and go play dwarf fortress
