Ubuntu & AnthemRO

[Vaio]

Hello Everyone! I just registered today and I'm making my first post here as a member! Now that I have that out of the way, I do have some questions. They are LINUX^** related. Before you go making your reply PLEASE read my entire post as I don't have any questions relating to the topic of HOW to get Ragnarok Online running on a linux machine. I have already successfully done this and I can already login and play.

My 1st Question:
Does anyone else currently play Ragnarok Online on any Linux distributions? It would be really cool to find other players that are running linux, and possibly meet up and play in-game. I use to play animaRO, but that no longer exists. So, I want to start a new character here with new friends.
My 2nd Question:
Does anyone else experience a slight delay with mouse clicking and also when typing, their text disappears tho the text is still technically there? (Example: Typing a message in game... in the text box, I can't see my text as I'm typing it. But when I hit enter the whole message [which I couldn't see] is sent and appears on screen.) I'm trying to find a solution to this problem, but I'm currently having trouble finding one otherwise I wouldn't have made this post.


I hope that I put this in the right area to be answered. Hopefully I'm not the only AnthemRO linux user. With so many players there has to be a few more out there as Ragnarok Online is listed in the WineHQ compatible application database.

That is really it for now. I hope to see some of you in-game! My current character name is Vaio Nal.

**I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS fully updated. Running AnthemEXE.exe with Wine.

1.) I sometimes play on Slackware, but Windows runs RO smoother.
2.) I don't remember having that problem. I'll check it out later.

It might be because of Ubuntu or the way I'm running AnthemRO through Wine at the moment.
Right now in the Graphics settings for WIne I have
- "Emulate a Virtual Desktop" checked and set @ 1024 x 768
- "Vertex Shader Support" Hardware selected
- "Allow Pixel Shader" checked
- "Screen Resolution" 96 dpi selected
I'm not sure if my settings differ far from yours? I'm also using the Gnome desktop environment.

Welcome to AnthemRO!!

I'm running ARO on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron also.

I'll see if I can reproduce that bug.

Thanks! Do you also think you can tell me what you have set for your settings? (Wine & AnthemRO Settings)

Ok I was unable to reproduce both the invisible text and the click lag.

I turn Compiz off when running ARO

and here are my winecfg settings:

Windows 2000
Emulate an 800x600 Virtual Desktop

Audio
  ALSA Driver
  Hardware accel: Full
  Defualt Sample: 44100
  Default b/sample: 16

Edit: And ARO settings
ARO Setup.exe

I'm not sure what is up with it. 
I have set myself to have the same settings as you and it still does it. Could it possibly be my graphics card at all?
It's a nVidia GeForce MX 4000. It's old, but I wouldn't think that would be causing the problems as my other MMOs work fine... I mean it doesn't cause major problems at all. Just, I can't see what I'm typing.

[Rolan]

Well I'm running on a laptop, AMD Athalon XP 3000+, Nvidia GeForce4 420 Go 32MB, nvidia-glx-new (driver)

which driver are you using?

[lugsy]

At the time of your first post we were having a small bit of zone problems which would have created the lag. This has been resolved now and should run smoother for you, report back if it is still making these errors and we can try to help farther.
Welcome to Anthem RO.

[Vaio]

I'm just using nvidia-glx.

Code: [Select]

Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]"
Driver "nvidia"
Busid "PCI:0:4:0"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Also for a screenshot of what I'm talking about with the text:

Ah, that is directdraw. Wine has issues with directdraw. I have similar things, especially with text, like in your inventory you'll see the numbers sometimes mess up.

There's nothing I know of that can fix that.

I see. I mean, I can live with it. That's not a problem.

Also, I hope to see you in-game. I haven't played RO in a really long time and I'm just kinda sitting there lost.
