These are the steps i followed, at least the ones i remember. i was struggling with the whole problem for a while: 1) Patch manually as recommended in RoM forums: https://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=79267 2) After that, client is updated but clientupdate.exe still crashes so i upgraded wine to 1.3, and winetricks to last update so i could install winetricks ie7. Game works again now!! Good luck!
