In order to get byond to work on the latest version of wine, you'll require this
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc60pro/update/1/ w9xnt4/en-us/vc6redistsetup_enu.exe
Once this is installed go into your wine directory and run the new exe there.
This will install the dlls in order to run byond. Once this is installed byond should work on latest versions of wine.
Enjoy!

Running that EXE alone didn't work for me. I ran "winetricks vb6run" to install the VB runtime 6 and BYOND started functioning.

I put it on my desktop, and just tried to double click it from there. I suppose I should have launched it as if it was on the Windows user's desktop, but Wine should be able to handle that regardless.

Any idea why it would run so slow...by slow I mean you can't use it at all.

Can't say I needed to install anything extra, on Fedora 13, Wine 1.3.0. Same for Gentoo.

Yes, instead of stating the latest version of wine, could you state the actual version number.
Distros don't update their packages at the same time and installing wine outside of package management isn't going to be recommended. | |
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and speed is fine for me.

I am running the latest version of wine on the latest version of ubuntu and am having a problem with Byond. I downloaded this file and it allowed me to run wine but as soon as I try to join any games it shuts the program down.
and as soon as I start byond I get an error box with a red X and no text explanation as to what is going wrong. | |
You need to post what Ubuntu version (and if it's 32 or 64 bit) and which wine version.
"Latest" doesn't cover it. | |
32 Ubuntu 10.04 i think.
| |
Once again, read my post again, you didn't provide all of the information ;)
I was also talking to Pattisoncurtis. | |
I'm running Mint 8 with WINE 1.1.42 and BYOND runs slughish(WINE itself seems to run slow, I might try and see if I can reinstall it. And if that helps.)
| |
every time i download this it just asks do i want to download it, i say yes, and the wine browser goes blank. wdf?
