heRO-Server Forum

Hi there,

I consider switching OS. Windows Vista drives me nuts...
My preferred OS so far would be Linux (Ubuntu), now my question:
Is there a way to get RO to work on a Linux System?
I am going to split my HD and have Windows, too. There are so many games that need Windumb However, it would be much easier if I wasn't forced to reboot every time to play...

Thanks for your Help in advance

To be honest I really wouldnt know. Did you check the official RO site and see what the game requirements are? It should mention what kinda system it might need. Sorry for not being more helpful :/

Some people have managed to play RO under linux, mostly using wine. It's not an easy task to get it running.

The thing you want to check out is WINE. WineHQ

Here is the page for RO private servers on WINE running on Linux. It's come a long way and from what I read on that page, it just might work.

Good luck migrating to Linux! Do post whatever results you have, I'm planning on doing the same in very near future.

It's been done before, but it sure wont be easy to set up, good luck!

Thank you for all your helpful replies...
sorry I didn't do a forum search before but I thought this was rather special, and to be honest, I didn't dare to have hope it could work xD

Glad it's possible

Don't worry about it.
I've been here a long time.
I know of some post people would never look up.
