Guildwars on Ubuntu 9.04

As I was dazzled by how easy it was to install Guildwars on a Ubuntu 8.10, I think it’s worth noting that it is as easy on Ubuntu 9.04.

  • First off, you’ll need to have wine installed. If you don’t, fire up a terminal and hit sudo apt-get install wine
  • Then enter your CD.
  • The computer will note the autorun content on the disc and asks you what to do with it.
    By default, there should be the option to execute it using wine.
  • Hit the OK button.
  • Let it install, and you’re ready to play.

If you don’t have the cd’s you can always follow Christer Edwards’s blogpost.

    How about lineage?

    I have no experience installing Lineage on Ubuntu.
    But there are some interesting posts on it on the ubuntuforums.
    Howto: Lineage 2 – C6 in Ubuntu 7.10
    Howto: Run Lineage II (2nd throne) on Ubuntu Hardy
    In the first howto there is a guy pointing out that it even should be possible to run it by taking the existing windows copy :)

    it didn’t work for me. Guild Wars will not run in Ubuntu, but it runs great in Windows.

    I did this, but whenever I try to play it, the screen gets magnified and all I get is the Nightfall cursor. And whenever I try to switch screens, the music stops and that’s all that happens.

    What do I do?

    @Rob Ross:
    Have fun ;-)

    @ Flow:
    Can you try running it windowed?
    (add the “-windowed” option to your shortcut)
    Do you still have these issue’s when in windowed mode?
