Linux Restricted Guild on Argonnoson?

[AsherStar]

are there enough of us penguins to make a linux only guild on Argonnoson? to help each other out with the quirks of running DDO On Linux. Linux themed guild name required so there's no confusion in prospective members

-=EDIT=-
doesn't have to be argo, I can try a different server

I wish I could get ddo running on linux. Heck, the biggest reason I use windows is to run ddo.

That is the only reason i still use windows. If there was an easy non techie way to get it to run i would in a minute and leave the crashes and **** behind.

Although I know you meant Windows in general, just in case: Wine doesn't stop crashes in DDO - the client still leaks memory like a sieve

Yeps, wine is a very good reimplementation of windows API; it is SO GOOD that it reimplements EVEN THE BUGS!
I wouldn't dare to install windows on my machine. Even if it would be the only solution to play DDO.

What kind of hardware do you need? Are you running it in WINE? Can I run it on a Raspberry Pi? MMmmm... I built a lego case for mine, making me cool already.

Answers! I demand them!

I doubt Raspberry Pi would run it, different CPU architecture and all.

I ran DDO on WINE for a long time, but then got fed up with the hassle of problems after every update, occasional crashes and frequent graphics bugs. I went and bought a Windows license just for playing DDO.

My HD died a few weeks ago, so while I was waiting for a replacement I tried if DDO would still run on WINE. There was a compatibility problem with the latest update, and people were waiting for the next WINE release to support DDO in its current form.

Issues with the last update resolved themselves after a few days. Some people patched their WINE installs, but I didn't. After the next hotfix everything was OK again.

Currently running:
Ubuntu 12.10
WINE 1.5.20 (not using winetricks)
Alan Jackson's LoTROLinux launcher

Indeed, I've been running in Linux since join date and that was the longest interruption thus far... 4-5 days I think. Rest of the time, it's been a matter of a few minutes or so till I figured out what I did to my wine install

If any linux guilds pop up on thelanis, I'd love to know!
