Descriptive Problem Summary:
I've been trying to make Byond work on my chromebook for a week or so now, and after failing to set up a VM I tried the Wine approach:

After being fully wiped and starting in developer mode: I downloaded XFCE using crouton by following this guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OImoN7frSdg, only up to the XFCE part), then downloaded Wine via terminal using 'sudo apt-get install wine'.

I then downloaded Byond using the more recent tutorial at WineHq (https://appdb.winehq.org/ objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=29560). There was a "404 link not found" error when trying to download the mfc42 bit, but the other dependencies / ie7+8 worked, and so did installing the windows version of Byond using 'wine 507.1285_byond.exe'. I can now run it using wine, where it loads up sucessfully and lets me see the full list of games available and log into my account.

When I try to join a server that requires logged in users, however, I'm always blocked from joining with the message "Banned by host: Reason: Guests not allowed. Please sign in with a byond account.", even though I'm currently signed in as myself, which is visibly shown on the home tab. I made a new account and logged in using that one too, but none of the servers I tried recognized me. None of the ss13 servers work, which is all I care about, but I'm able to log into games that permit guests like "Rise of the Pirates" or "Z Universe" though always as a guest user. I can also use the friends tab and send messages to others just fine.

I haven't seen anything like this in the forums, so I'm posting it here. If you need more information about anything or want me to test something just ask, as I'm rather inexperienced with Linux and different OS's / wine. This is all on an Acer C720 Chromebook with an Intel Celeron 2855U processor.
