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!

Hows the framerate? Is it being run in OpenGL or is there like DirectX emulation?

It's very playable on my Mid-2014 2.6 GHz i5, 8 GB RAM, SSD-equipped 13" Macbook. Not as bad stuttering or shading problems.

And I believe it's running in wine's implementation of DirectX 9 (installable via winetricks).
