[FAQ] Ryzom in Linux (The Unofficial HOW-TO)

[lardok]

You have to compile the kernel yourself. It's not in the respository yet.

Follow the guide I posted above to do so.

Well I went through the wine walkthrough (except I already have wine installed so I just went with no sound to see if it would work)
.

As long as it is a fairly resent Wine that should be ok ( the more resent the better ).

initially all was good - copied my windows installation to the wine install and it started ok - was able to select my character but as soon as I tried to start the game I got a box up with a load of "Thread?" errors (this may be wrong I'm posting from memory)

The exact error messages would help a lot.

I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 but I'm pretty sure my kernel is 2.6.15 should I be using the 17 kernel I've tried checking for updates with adept and apt-get but there are no updates to apply.

the 2.6.15 kernel is ok, you only need the 2.6.17 or later for the sound issue.

Make sure you get hold of the latest ATi Drivers, as i understand it they are suposed to be much better. and you absoloutly need to use OGL, the D3d support in wine is not up to par yet. But afaik there is flurry of activity going on in that area of wine so in a couple of version i expect it to work , if not great, then at least, passable.

OOC :

Small update for Nvidia users. they have released a new driver today.
I'll try it when I get home later today.

I get all the way up to my character loading before it crashes.

I'm running Suse 10.0x64 and followed the guide here.

Anyone know what's going on here? What else can I try to stop crashing? Thanks

one that you might try/check is if you really have msvcrt.dll in your wine installation (windows/system, windows/system32 or ryzom directory)

if i read dump correctly, wine own msvcrt is used.
not saying it helps with your problem as i can run with wine msvcrt just have lag spikes (and long loading times)

ok, changed to be using the windows msvcrt.dll, loading is quicker (much), and I actually get to run aroud for a few minutes

Ofcourse, I am crashing now after those few minutes. Will check I really have sound turned off before asking for help.

Edit-
Whenever I enter a building (my apartment, guildhall) I get the ryzom crash box with the error message "Failed assertation Occured".

If I run around for a couple of minutes I crash. The last line from the wine dump says "Failed to reassign memory"

Any ideas?

[zyrom]

first, my general experience with crashes is that they are mostly caused by corrupt files, so the fist thing you could try is to get rid of the cache files, those you find in the data directory and are typically called rsfe002.juk.shards.nevrax.com.string_cache just delete them all they are recreated when needed. then you could rename the save folder, but be aware that you will loose your flags, stanzas macros etc, that why you whant to rename the directory so you can move the files back one by one.

Second. versions...

kernel 2.6.17 or better.

Wine: to me, 0.9.17 is the most stbale to date, even though 0.8.21 is out and
is stable, i find it a bit laggy, 18.19 and 20 i have had crashing on me once in
a while.

Nvida. latest there are 1.0.8774

Third, memory, the more the better, but try to keep it above a Gig, also check that you don't have a marginal memory stick, try to mix them around and or remove one.

Ryzom is hungry beast, and *will* task your system, when i get into problems i have a "dummy" setup has a clean X/desktop setup, meaining no desktop manager and just starting X and a xterm, you can get that by just running xinit...

Has anybody installing Ryzom on Linux using Cedega had a problem with InstallShield?

[zyrom]

haven tested Cedega for almost a year, since the game will not run under it... see posts a bit higher up. so unless they have done some mayor work lately , youre better of with plain wine.

[ecobear]

I was very excited about this game because it said that there was a linux client in the works and that it ran well in Cedega. I was leary about that since I have an ATI card, unfortunately, the fear turned about to be legitimate. I have searched Google Linux and all else beyond with no luck.
My problem is that I have Cedega and ATI card (which for the most part equates to a waste of money). Cedega claims its giving better ATI support, although as of version 5.2.6, I am still out in the cold. I have my fingers crossed for the next release.
My other is question is probably common. Is there a release date for the linux client? I was VERY excited when I saw the word Debian in the Q&A section and was very hopeful.
Hopefully this post might yield an answer one way or the other. I would really appreciated any feedback. For contact, I use Gmail, and I am ecobear on there as well. Emails are welcome. Thanks.
