Strange. Did you try downloading winetricks and doing:
winetricks orm=backbuffer
AO still doesn't use anything exotic. You may try disabling the hardware shader in the winecfg control panel or a virtual desktop.

done. After installing orm=backbuffer the black screen went now white.
What happens is that with shader disabled and with or without the virtual desktop, the white or black screen appears and after like 10 seconds all the screen goes black, with a - flashing for 2 sec at the top left of screen, then screen is turned off for 2 sec then back to the - flashing. Can't do anything after this phase.
The closest I've got to the normal AO logo loading page was some greenish dots (with fewer red dots) that vaguely resembled the AO logo at loading page. After some seconds more dots appeared at the bottom right and left, I could think that was the GUI of the game, colors were similar. Then all black with flashing -.
Wine is the 1.3.14 with the only additional patch inside. I'm pretty sure I've installed all the needed packages.

Hm, did you try to run it in 16bit mode? I got some weird graphics, too if i try to run it in 32bit mode. As far as i remember, the underlying X11 has some troubles with 16bit, but that could just be an urban myth :O

@LL, do any other games work for you under Wine?

I think you can give up on that.Originally Posted by -LL-
The Intel GMA drivers (i915 in the kernel, xf86-video-intel as package) are pretty crap on Linux. I tried with the latest stable versions of, well, pretty much everything (not "Ubuntu latest" or "Debian latest", but actual latest stable versions) before all the changes to AO with Awesomium.
It didn't work then, it doesn't work now, the drivers are simply not good enough to run real games.. tried other old games such as Dungeon Siege in Wine, that didn't work either (no textures, only white places where they should've been).
Surprisingly enough Unreal Tournament 2004 worked, but that was a native Linux install. Your best option is to dualboot, or give up on running games on your laptop altogether - which is what I've done since even under Windows I couldn't really play any game smoothly (AO didn't even go over 5 FPS unless I was in a shop looking at the floor in 1st person view).
Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intel Core Duo T2450 CPU, Intel GMA 945 integrated graphics chip, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, and a 120 GB 5400rpm harddrive. The only reason it's still decently fast is because it's running Gentoo.Code:xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx ~ $ sudo lspci -k 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) Subsystem: Dell Device 01bd Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Dell Device 01bd Kernel driver in use: i915 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Dell Device 01bd 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Device 01bd Kernel driver in use: HDA IntelI am considering to plug my Intel X-25V 40GB SSD into the sorry thing, and then upgrade my main rig with an OCZ Vertex 2 (or 3). Would be interesting to see how big of a difference it makes on an oldie PC.

Not really into gaming except AO, and that drains away pretty much a lot of time already! :P
Anyway ok, I guess there is nothing I can do with this PC, unless re-installing windows.. Does AO run on a virtual machine with xp? I guess I'll try that

You talk about this patch that i click on... What if I dont know how to make the patch or where to put it. I have spent about 2 hours trying to figure this crap out i am so confused..... I tried making files on my desktop i dont know where i pput those command lines. and I pretty much know nothing about what to do with adding in a patch? I have no idea how to manually do that on Ubuntu. I have wine 1.2.2 i think. and yea no idea.... hopefully someone will read this shortly. ... Either that or I just wasted money on a game i can no longer freaking play... Wish Anarchy Online Was a bit more OS friendly...
Why would developers spend money to support a OS used by less than 1% of users? It says clearly on the box/website that it requires Windows to play, and what you're doing is basically trying to hack a different OS into allowing you to run software that was never intended to run there.

But why should AO fix what essentially are bugs in Wine?
The patches even prove this, those patches fix bugs in wine to allow AO to run.
It's not Funcom's fault Wine is broken.
Tbh, if you can't handle the complexity of Linux, you shouldn't be running it.

Okay If I wanted to hear your opinion on that I would of asked My simple question was How do I create a patch... I clicked on the ink to the patch it opens up I copy and pasted it into a file on my desktop (diff file) and One I did that I began trying to add in the stuff the other guy said to. And the reason I have Ubuntu is because windows sucks horribly... i have had to wipe my computer 6 times due to windows. Ubuntu i never Have. All I am asking is if someone can help me figure out how to add these patches from the bug report. If you cant help me with that then please leave you opinion on which OS is better, (I honestly dont care) But yea I am just stuck at what I am supposed to do to create a patch from scratch on Ubuntu I have patch 1 + 2 i just dont know how to create the patch and then install it.
Please Help Thank You

Nothing weird about it, AoC was first announced to be running on both Windows and Xbox360... the Xbox360 version got canned, so the "cross platform support" in the video refers to a console, not an OS.
When I was 1st installing AO on linux, this pic was close to my thoughts...

Oki the big upside with a linux have in my opinion always been the CLI since it so easy to provide help ... i suck at helping plp but i try and take a stab anyways ... here goes this is what works for me (roughly ...) i am running ubuntu to so should be similar ...
First remove wine if you have it already installed ... (if this don't work i guessing it should work anyways but try)
#sudo apt-get remove wine
If you had previously added the winehq repository, delete it:
#sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Id recommend getting the code from GIT, first ya need git client try ...
#sudo apt-get install git-core
Now find a quiet spot on ya computer, id recomend some where in your home folder but anywhere will work ...
Checkout source code for wine
#git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
Nessecary libs, you might have these but try it anyways to be sure ...
#sudo apt-get build-dep wine
#sudo apt-get install fakeroot
#sudo apt-get install checkinstall
Now build ...
#cd ~/wine-git
#./configure --prefix=/usr
#make
Now install wine
#sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --pkgversion=1.1.33
Answer yes to everything, add a minor comment to the package if you like, and you'll have wine installed.
#mkdir ~/wine-patches
#wget http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=30775 -O ~/wine-patches/PATCH_30775
#wget http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32705 -O ~/wine-patches/PATCH_32705
#cd ~/wine-git
#patch -p1 < ~/wine-patches/PATCH_30775
#patch -p1 < ~/wine-patches/PATCH_32705
#make
#sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --pkgversion=1.1.33
Next running it ...
#mkdir ~/wine-bottles
#export WINEPREFIX=/home/<YOUR-USERNAME>/wine-bottles/<BOTTLE-NAME>
Here you might whant to do
#winecfg
And then to start it, finnaly run
#wine <PATH-TO-INSTALLER>/Anarchy.exe > /dev/null 2>&1
@Asclepius, let me know how it works out
@Vhab that was prolly the most stupid i heard from you ever ...
Any one knows better feel free to correct me (this is free from my head & notes .. which i in all honest prolly ripped of from the net sometimes before ...)!
As are snide remarks towards the devs.
Despite the issue being tracked down to Wine, people can't help but throw in remarks of blame and/or insults towards FC about the situation.
Even the original post still has this undertone.
Otherwise, nice 101. Thank you.

Oh i was ofc referring to this part, one should never stop trying and learning from new things. About the other I have no doubt you know what you are talking about ...
And on side note i don't agree that windows is more simple than other OS. Just the other day i spent more time than i would care to admit trying to get it running on windows. In the end I just asked for a linux machine and "got on with it" ...
I probably shouldn't have posted that, but it still holds some truth.
Running Linux as desktop OS is a very specific and large decision.
A decision that will lead you to have to fiddle, work around and sometimes even hack up a patch just to get your favorite game working.
Anyone running Linux should be aware of this and prepared to go the extra mile to get their favorite game running.
Then if you don't get it working and you start complaining about how you wasted money and how the game should be more Linux friendly... then maybe Linux is not the right OS for that person.
Never forget Linux is not an officially supported platform for AO.
I'd encourage anyone to try other things, new things. Just as long as they know what they're signing up for.
And if someone's not feeling confident in their skills to do what is needed to get AO up and running, they likely should have opted for a dual-boot setup before going all the way to Linux.

The error message looks more like you're unable to connect to the FC server. Is your internet connection ok? Did you try again later? Did you eventually give up and reinstall?
