Hey, I'm trying to use Razor Enhanced with CUO via Wine on Linux, and I'm having trouble getting the client to launch. I can get the Launcher to run, but it won't launch the client. I'd love to use CUO without wine, but I'm wanting to use Razor Enhanced and I think that requires Wine.

icy moon
#

by launcher do you mean classicuo launcher or razorenhanced launcher?

kindred kernel
#

classicuo launcher

icy moon
#

are you trying without RE enabled?

kindred kernel
#

right now i want to be able to login or at least see the UO login screen

icy moon
#

yeah I'm just asking if RE is enabled in the launcher or not, since the first step is to get CUO working

kindred kernel
#

No RE is not yet installed

icy moon
#

I think you need to make sure you at least have dxvk installed in the wineprefix

#

what error do you get in the terminal?

kindred kernel
#

good question, i will check

icy moon
#

you may also want to check the RE discord since even if I can help with CUO, RE may not work and needs info from people with that specific info

kindred kernel
#

i will do that

#

bleh i am going to have to recreate a wine prefix for the launcher and CUO
do you know what i need installed in that prefix for CUO to work?

icy moon
#

not really. But you could just try bottles since it's easy to try different runners (soda=proton based, vaniglia=wine) which already have a lot of stuff included and usually don't need anything extra

kindred kernel
#

well i am using bottles but i dunno how to run apps from it via commandline

icy moon
kindred kernel
#

ooh cool. i will try that in a few mins. sorry for the delay

kindred kernel
icy moon
#

that looks just like the launcher log, but the launcher itself works right?

#

try and add another shortcut directly to classicuo.exe and use that one (just for testing)

kindred kernel
#

within bottles, everything seems to freeze

#

or be very lagged

#

so far, the launcher opens, gets manifest, then seems to hang

icy moon
#

00d0:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

#

this looks like you have an issue with your graphics driver

kindred kernel
#

i hope not. there may be dependencies missing

icy moon
#

that's a linux error though, at that point a missing dependency in bottles shouldn't be an issue

#

the last two times I saw that issue: one user fixed by reinstalling the nvidia driver package, and another fixed it by reinstalling bottles

kindred kernel
#

thing is, proton works. in Steam apps

#

sorry for massive delay. was busy

#

i did have graphics issues before, but i am pretty sure i fixed em

kindred kernel
#

well i made progress

#

UO runs, can see login screen

#

so thats a plus

#

(and its responsive, has graphics)

#

but CUO crashes

#

as i said earlier i'd love to use linux CUO but i think Razor is Windows only

icy moon
#

try and add a shortcut directly to classicuo.exe and run that in terminal. See if we get a more useful log

kindred kernel
#

ok. btw classicuo linux version runs perfectly

it wants a valid UO dir

open your own ticket, don't take over someone else's

#

look, the subject is "installing on linux via wine"

#

I don't see anything about wine in your request, so it's just derailing the conversation

#

you're using lutris...?

kindred kernel
#

im assuming you were talking to IMP?

i am using Bottles.

The reason I wanted to use CUO in wine (or similar) is that i want to run RazorEnhanced in wine, along side it. A workaround I just thought of would be to use RazorEnhanced on wine with linux CUO

but im not sure if thatd work

icy moon
#

Yeah sorry another unrelated conversation got started in here.

Can you check the classicuo\Logs dir for a crash log?

Hi, have you had any luck with CUO under wine? I wanted to try this myself, but so far no luck. It seems surprisingly difficult to get it running under wine. :]
Btw, you can also run this version of razor natively in linux: https://github.com/markdwags/Razor
Although it sometimes freezes on me at logout, so you might want to use older version if that happens to you as well.
Freezing issue described here: https://github.com/markdwags/Razor/issues/196

icy moon
#

can you just talk about wine and not other issues in this thread please

#

also nobody can help you with wine if you don't say what difficulty you had

Bumping thread. I’ve been writing an open-sourced cross-platform installer patcher and launcher that uses ClassicUO as the client for servers that utilize a Manifest patching method.

I get the client working on both Linux (Intel) and MacOS (M2) with only needing the dotnet48 package and passing the -force_driver 1 flag to the client (this is OpenGL)

Key note. The WINEARCH must be set to win64.

# getting the package with winetricks
WINEARCH=“win64” winetricks dotnet48

# Launch Client, navigate to the clients directory and execute:
WINEARCH=“win64” wine ClassicUO.exe -force_driver 1

The Razor Assistant works too under this.
Plug of the project if you want to see how else I get things working:

Interesting.... forcing the OpenGL driver seems to solve the crashes. Razor works too, but I didn't have the same luck with RazorEnhanced.
That one throws this error:

Btw, did you manage to get the Launcher working as well?
even when forcing the Launcher to use OpenGL and with vc redist installed, I didn't manage to get it to run for some reason... not that it's important, but still curious if someone else got it running
winetricks vcrun2019
wine ClassicUOLauncher.exe /gldevice:OpenGL

#

I got it working once, but don't remember the steps. I'll try to find the notes I took on it.

#

Not helpful

#

but there's an image of it running on MacOS (ARM) via Wine. So I am sure I can get it working on Linux.

icy moon
#

@modest gale it may need gdiplus. But honestly that's a plugin crash, you need to ask razorenhanced channel / discord for helpn on that.

#

@modest gale I got my ClassicUOLauncher.exe working on Linux

#

My setup:

wine version: wine-8.0
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine64_ultimaonline
WINEARCH=win64

winetricks version: 20210206
winetricks Packages: dotnet48
*Note, I had to force the dotnet48 install with because it was reporting a bug:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine64_ultimaonline WINEARCH=win64 winetricks --force dotnet48

ClassicUOLauncher directory:
CUO="$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Ultima Online"

Launching the launcher:
cd "$CUO"
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine64_ultimaonline WINEARCH=win64 wine ClassicUOLauncher.exe -force_driver 1

This is on Linux Mint 21.

#

One thing I would make sure to do is that the WINEPREFIX and WINEARCH variables are set correctly every step of the way. Installing winetricks packages, launching wine, and editing winecfg.

#

If you export those variables in bashrc or zshrc, then you won't need to worry about it. But I personally like to keep my UO install isolated in its own prefix for debugging reasons.

#

My initial install of wine version wine-5.5 would let the ClassicUO.exe launch but not ClassicUOLauncher.exe, so maybe try upgrading if you can if the above fails still.

icy moon
#

what is this...?

proper shoal

RazorEnh discord, nvm deleting the link. Since it's here now.

Install wine staging branch, guide here-> https://wiki.winehq.org/Download

Follow this guide to create wineprefix:
I create a new 64-bit WINEPREFIX simply by running winetricks and specifying the new prefix, like this:

WINEPREFIX=/home/<your-username>/wine/cuo winetricks

This will create a new WINEPREFIX inside <your-user-home-folder>/wine/cuo.
You can just close winetricks once it opens.

Then run everything specifying that WINEPREFIX on every command as an env var, including RE setup and when running CUO
Like this:

WINEPREFIX=/home/<your-username>/wine/cuo wine ClassicUOLauncher.exe
