First is to download the "setup.exe" from the website. This worked first try and began downloading the game. The download took about 10 minutes to complete. (17.6M) Second was to download and extract "fml_full_win32.zip", which has its own "fml_launcher.exe". The launcher seems to do the same thing as the "setup.exe" by connecting to the Internet and downloading the latest version. Third was running "fml.exe" in the "data/bin/app_2959/" of the extracted archive. My wine install is not vanilla so results may vary, however, I noticed that the launcher -- as you stated -- isn't verbose as to what it is doing. In fact, the launcher doesn't have ANY output to the wine console. On the contrary, the "fml.exe" was verbose! Here's my output: > tfino@crap:~$ wine '/home/tfino/Desktop/fml/Football Manager Live/data/bin/app_2959/fml.exe' > fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet > fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x13dd78,0x13e7d8): stub > err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unabled to retrieve URL from string L"\"" > err:winebrowser:wmain Usage: winebrowser URL The "get_url" message in the above console log seems to be in regards to the "Sign Up" button, which appears to be broken. It depresses, but doesn't do anything else. I did not sign up for an account so I cannot confirm functionality. Since the client updates itself, I will rule out connection issues on my platform. Note also that when launching from the "fml.exe" it takes a few minutes to load and appears unresponsive at first. This seems normal. What version of the Ubuntu cd did you try? What type of Internet connection do you have? Please post your success with this method. Here's a screenshot: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2936/screenshotf.png I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64. Wine 1.1.12, Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. This application actually works amazingly in Wine for me. I hope my test helps you out Oliver. If this information is helpful to someone, please copy it to the AppDB page for FML. -Tres -- - Tres.Finocchiaro@xxxxxxxxx
