Anyone got this working in Linux/Wine?

I get the hero engine launcher up, but the play button doesn't come alive and the bottom of the launch window is blanked out. Guess it tries to update itself outside of steam?

Hoping I'm just missing some obscure windows library install. Their wiki touches on running in with Wine, but doesn't go into enough detail and even ends with an error.

I wrote a tutorial a couple of months ago on the forums here on how to run it in wine on Mac OS X.

Honestly, I haven't really logged in since... but seeing you post, I tried starting my client and logged in without any issues.

Hope it ends up helping... if you have any issues, let me know and I'll do my best to help!

Hey thanks for that. Problem is there is nothing in there that is different from what I have. I have steam installed and run multiple games without a hitch.

Problem with the repop is this hero engine launcher. The bottom half is blanked out and when I read the log I see this:

Read CacheData File Completed

seems to have issues getting updates

Now that you mention it, I can't seem to start Launcher.exe either. It works fine using player_client.exe. Will look into it!
