Things change has WINE progresses its support for window programs.
If you aren't sure by now, WINE means Wine Is An Emulator, and it's one of the many ways to play Windows games on a Linux OS. It's a compatibility layer that translates window calls to linux calls. It works just as good as if you were running a Windows OS, however, it is not completed and does not support everything. And as progress goes on, things can break (eventually gets fixed)

So if you happen to have an issue in the future, use PlayOnLinux instead to revert back to the last time a software was running.

------------------------------------
Tutorial
-----------------------------------
1. Find the distro that is associated with yours here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Download and follow their installation instructions.

2. We're going to download winetricks. Copy and paste this code into your terminal:

cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/ master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks

3. Now, we to do one more thing before we can actually get to the final step: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

4. Finally, all we need to do is install internet explorer 8, and we can use BYOND. In terminal type this: sh winetricks ie8
Then follow the installation instructions, and then install BYOND.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Trouble-shooting
------------------------------------------------------------------

BYOND is no longer working in the latest wine.
Solution ---> Revert back to a later version of Wine 32bit with Ie8 installed using PlayOnLinux.


I configured WINE before step 3 in the guide
Solution ------> Open terminal where you downloaded winetricks, and type this sh winetricks. Then it will open a GUI of winetricks. At the bottom it will say delete the default prefix. Delete it, and then follow step 3 again!
Hey im having some trouble installing this since it says my system is a 64 bit when a 32 is needed and when i try the trouble shooting I dont see a way to delete the default prefix and i just freshly installed wine on this computer.

Also what exactly does ie8 do for byond im really new to the linux shit don't know whats what. does it help with the problem of byond not letting you login? cause that really is the thing i want to fix the most
@Luxur, to remove your 64 bit prefix and make a new one run:
$ rm -r ~/.wine
$ WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q ie8

Then extract the byond zip to ~/.wine/drive_c/

And then launch BYOND:
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/byond/bin/byond.exe

Winetricks will support ie8 on a win64 prefix soon, and in my testing BYOND in a win64 prefix works just as good as with win32.

Winetricks downloads and installs native ie8 from Microsoft's website, which implements some things that WINE doesn't right now. However the popup interfaces in SS13 often need newer than ie8, so the workaround of installing native ie8 often is insufficient depending on the SS13 server you join. Newer native IE installs like ie11 don't work right now.

Buying CrossOver from CodeWeavers with their support package is one option I'm considering to try to get them to implement the missing features in WINE, if I'm not able to figure it out.
I am getting a pretty serious issue. I try to run byond.exe and it gets about 60% finished and then crashes. I am using a 32 bit prefix and have ie8 installed. I can post the error message if it would help but if anyone knows how to fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it
@Cleeb
Sounds like an issue particular to your setup. Installing BYOND on a new system?
Likely missing a i386 library, if you are installing BYOND on a new Linux system. I could share my i386 Debian packages installed if you want so you can install missing ones.
Also try to install the latest wine version... 6.5, and try again with clean wine prefix. Also make sure that you hit yes to install mono and gecko packages when wine prompts you about them.
In response to Svor1988
Thank you for the response. It very well may be an issue of missing libraries. I have just updated to the latest stable release of wine and created a new 32 bit prefix to run BYOND. When running BYOND it returns with.

System information:
Wine build: wine-6.0
Platform: i386
Version: Windows 7
Host system: Linux
Host version: 5.4.0-70-generic
00cc:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0068FEA4 00000000): stub
I'm not sure what causes this problem, works fine on my system. What follows is a bunch of sanity checking.

Here are the i386 packages I have installed, and wine is the only thing that uses i386 packages on my system IIRC: https://pastebin.com/e1D7a2FL

I'm on a Debian buster based distro. Ubuntu seems to name some packages differently. apt-get install that line to see if any are missing and installable on yours.

I didn't install every recommended/suggested package when installing wine, but I cherry picked sensible looking ones. EDIT: Also I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which IIRC is a system wide install of mscorefonts, mitigating the need for `winetricks corefonts` on each wineprefix you have.

If you were to install the dbg package for the wine package you have, then the backtrace would contain more info (and be less vague).
$ apt-cache search wine | grep dbg


EDIT: If installing the dbg packages, don't forget to install the i386 equivalents:
$ apt-cache search -o "APT:Architecture=i386" wine | grep dbg


That it is crashing in mshtml makes me suspect gecko might not be installed. Here is how the packages look on my system:
$ ll ~/.cache/wine/
-rw-r--r-- 1 gaming gaming 55354880 Mar 11 12:48 wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86_64.msi
-rw-r--r-- 1 gaming gaming 59162112 Mar 11 15:54 wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86.msi
-rw-r--r-- 1 gaming gaming 87507456 Mar 11 15:39 wine-mono-6.0.0-x86.msi


For wine 6.0 you should have both 2.47.2-x86_64.msi and 2.47.2-x86.msi in that folder: https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

EDIT: I'm not sure if cleaning out the old gecko msi's will help any, but you could give that a shot.

IIRC wineboot should automatically install the relevant ones, but you can manually install any msi to be reassured. wineboot is what makes the popup on your screen saying "the wine prefix is being updated, please wait...":
$ rm -r ~/.wine
$ WINEARCH=win32 wineboot
$ msiexec /i ~/.cache/wine/wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86.msi


Also you can double check that the prefix is win32 with the following command:
$ cat ~/.wine/userdef.reg | head | grep arch
#arch=win32
In response to Cleeb
1. Alternatively, you can just go to your home folder, show hidden files and delete .wine folder without terminal.

2. The recommend terminal code should be: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

3. You have to download winetricks from the official github, and open terminal access in the downloads folder and run "sh winetricks ie8"

4. Then you can run BYOND. It will work unless for some reason wine is broken on your OS.
Also, the scrollbar is finally working properly on BYONd, and if you install corefonts, you fix the GUI glitches. :)
Should be noted that if you hang when you try to open the hub, you likely are missing mono. This fixed it for me.

$ sudo apt install mono-complete

This specifically installs mono to the entire system obviously, it will let you run software for Mono or the .NET framework.

Also a good idea to add the corefonts package via winetricks, helps with some minor graphical issues.

Now if only we could get IE11 support in wine or BYOND to use Edge for it's windows instead.
Just wanted to chime in that thanks to some google fu and Audio freak helping me understand the basics of using Winetricks (I didn't delete the default .wine tricks install but simply made a new wine tricks and swap to that to run byond)

I am able to actually play byond on Arch Linux without resorting to a VM. I used a 32bit Wineprefix I made via winetricks GUI and simply installed IE8 through SH.

Being able to play Byond in late 2022 is nice!
Yay, I am glad you got it figured out. Enjoy playing BYOND on linux. :)
WINE stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator".

Hey, so, while using this to play games, i noticed that some in-game features does not work at all, like for exemple the chatbox not showing at all, preventing me from talking to anyone in game without a third party chat system (like Discord).
Has anyone any idea why that happens, and if anyone has a fix other than continuing to use third party ?
In response to Creperator
yeah tell the developers to use legacy chat or you cant play. without IE 10, you cant use the cool new features on byond. ie 10 wont install.
