(I am new in this "Linux guild" but am actually quite old hat with Byond. This just seemed the most logical place to ask for help in this situation.)
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and Wine 1.3, and I installed Byond without any trouble.
Everything seems to work pretty well. At first I was in this emulated desktop, and the windows stuck to my cursor if I picked them up and wouldn't be put back down, but when I got rid of the desktop, that problem went away. The only problem that I can see so far, is that I can't interact with popups in-game. This is very problematic, since at least most games I play start with a "New player" popup, and you click a link thingie to enter the game proper.
I have installed the recommended DLLs with Winetricks and everything. So if anyone could shed some light, that would be most appreciated.

Could you take a screenshot of the issue?
|
Sure. I was going to say you wouldn't see much, as it is a problem with clicking the links, but That seems to be slightly wrong...
[IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/mmal54.png[/IMG] So popups are sometimes black, and sometimes visible, but no matter what they look like, when you hover over a "link" the cursor turns into that pointing hand, and when you click it, nothing happens. Everything else seems to be working, far as I can tell. Verbs, map, the text on the side. Lag times are wonderful. | |
I think I remember experiencing that bug a few times.
Can you try turning off Compiz / KWin desktop effects? | |
Compiz was not in fact on. It was installed, so I uninstalled it, (I don't use it anyway). Nothing changed.
I tried turning visual effects off as well, but that didn't do anything either. Thanks for trying to help me. | |
Is it just the browser elements that aren't working, or any kind of "normal" window popup?
