The current installation script will install the game and thankfully all the .NET and other winetricks stuff. The pylotro client (whereever that went) doesn't work. Do I installed it manually then had to rename the prefix/bottle folder to something without spaces in the file name in order to patch the client. After that everything is as if I would have used normal wine?
Does crossover actual use the OS version of wine or its own?
I mean I start the game with the normal pyloro client, which uses the system Python interpreter. That client would use the wine binary installed on the system I assume and not some Crossover patched version.
So the only advantage is to have all the winetricks dependencies installed by the installation script in Crossover.
//edit:
and what are these files for in the prefix:
cxassoc.conf cxbottle.conf cxmenu.conf cxnsplugin.conf
Maybe I just start the application the wrong way?Last edited by disi; 01 November 2012, 03:08 PM.

If you installed the pylotro client in the same bottle then that would use codeweaver's version of wine.
The advantage is that by buying Crossover you get to fund further development of wine, you get an easy way to install quite a hefty bunch of windows programs and you get access to support from the devs if something breaks the functionality of a supported application.
Fun fact: Since you mentioned Diablo 3 as one of the worthwhile games that have official support, do you know how it came to be that wine and Crossover got the ability to run it? It's because Blizzard gave early beta access to Codeweavers so that they could work on that. Of course, you can choose to believe me or not. It's fine either way.

So how would I start that without using the system wine version?
I could run it like :
/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine /bla/bla/pylotro.exe
To use the codeweaver wine version...
Or create a simlink /usr/bin/wine to /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine
So I would know how to work around it, but that shouldn't be default?Last edited by disi; 01 November 2012, 04:21 PM.

Pylotro should have been installed in the same bottle where lotro was installed. You have the ability to change that just before installing.
If PyLotro was installed in it's own bottle (or prefix) then it would still use codeweaver's version of wine. Want to check it? Uninstall wine. If you are right, PyLotro should not be able to run

I went back to wine now. Crossover turns off the external monitor (I want to play on) and starts the game on the laptop screen. Changes both resolutions and then when you come out of the game, it leaves it at the game resolution.
With stock wine-1.5.13 on the radeon driver I get ~20 fps more, tested in the exact same area (~30-40 instead of 10-20) with the same settings folder for graphic in the game.
And the game isn't supported anyway.
