NVIDIA - Forcing GPU to high-performance mode
If you are using a laptop with an NVIDIA video card you may want to run this script to make sure that your GPU stays at max performance when playing games.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo 'Forcing GPU to high-performance mode. Press CTRL-C to stop.'
let x=0
while true; do
let y=x*25
echo -ne "\rTime spent in high performance mode: $y seconds"
nice /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -q all > /dev/null &
let x=x+1
sleep 25;
done

What works
Everything works great so far. You can follow the guide here http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...d.php?t=557615 or just keep reading on. You do need ies4linux which I am lazy and used winetricks.
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks ie6
Thats it. After that installing AO from scratch works great and patching as well. If you have problems installing the game download the following installer.
wget http://l3cdn.ageofconan.com/download...P1_EP2_EP3.exe
I use this script to run the game. Works great for me give it a go.
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/usr/Anarchy\ Online
# renice fix
echo renice needs sudo access.
sudo echo sudo unlocked
# end renice fix
wine Client.exe &> /dev/null && sudo renice -10 $!
If you are having problems with sound give WinePulse a try. http://art.ified.ca/?page_id=40
What does not
All working great.
What was not tested
The AI mission crash in a particular room that I have not been able to test yet.
Additional Comments
Hopefully the transition with the new engine will be as painless as possible...
