Has anyone tried this ? The newest "supported" versions seems to be 1.66 appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3457...but, anyone tried this with 1.67 and with Higher Ground ?. If not, I guess Ill be the pilot for that project. Would love to just do some NWN after work now and then on my work computer with Linux  |

Update: Couldnt resist so I tested it with the newest version of Wine under Suse 10.0. I then copied the entire NWN directory from my windows partition, and it works !. Runs fluent on high graphics (though, this computer is a beast).  |

Added another user, and started wine directly on the windows partition i copied from with this user. Im now able to play two instances of nwn with different cd_keys on the same desktop, in separate windows  |

Well, not exactly a beast anymore, but better than my stationary at home, and more than enough to run NWN. And its a portable computer.
Its a Dell XPS 170, gforce 6800 ultra 256 mb, 2 gb ram.
Cpu is Intel Pentium M Processor 760 (2 GHz/2MB Cache)

I hope you are using different Client Port settings, we've been getting a lot of double LAN logins of late.

Grunt I know this is not what you're asking but the native linux client works great under Debian. By following the instructions on biowares homepage I got it running with no problems under Debian Sarge with gnome. Only problem was tweaking my XFree86 configuation so I could use direct rendering. If you cen't get the client to run under wine you might try that. Cheers, Claus |

Ekstrom: I started off trying to run the native client, but am stuck with "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)" Errors.
After 2 days of beating my head a gainst a wall of googled suggestions, and hours in IRC (irc.freenode.net, mainly) waiting for people to even read, never mind respond, I have all but given up, and thought Wine might be easier.
If you have any suggestions for removing these errors, they would be gratefully received.
System Spec:
Intel Pentium 4 3GHz
512Mb DDR RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6600
Debian Etch using xorg
Gnome (wanting to switch to KDE later)
I appear not to have an entry for DRI in my xorg.conf ... could this be a problem?

Just a quick post to let you know what my research turned up - in case your's was different. The overwhelming problem appears to be in the launching of the executable. Apparently, the common issue is that the "normal" way of launching in UNIX doesn't work for NWN - it has to be launched directly from it's installed directory. Worth a try if not tried already ...

You need direct rendering. What does glxgears and glxinfo return? Cheers, Claus PM'd you my XF86Config file in case you want to study that. |

Kaldair - thanks. I am running from within the install directory.
ekstrom - thnx for your config file. I have tried adding the DRI section to my xorg.conf, but it then gives me Gnome errors, and does not improve my NWN performance (i.e. still None!)
I do not have glxgears or glxinfo, but my NVIDIA X Server Settings program shows that Direct Rendering is working.

OK, I have been battling with my Linux install all week.
Eventually, I have got NWN running, but only version 1.29, with no CEP.
If I update to the 1.68 Linux version (Hordes), it stops running, crashign out as it tries to load with a segmentation fault (SDL Parachute Deployed).
Does anyone know how I can make this install work?
