Play Lineage 2 on Ubuntu or Debian Linux



1). Download .deb package Wine  and install (no problems should arise).
2). Run the terminal (without root rights) and write:
Code: [Select]
wget https://winetricks.org/winetricks

Next, download DirectX with the following command in the terminal:
Code: [Select]
sh winetricks corefonts d3dx9

Fonts:
Code: [Select]
sh winetricks corefonts tahoma
Download Tahoma font (copy/paste in .wine\drive_c\windows\Fonts) and install DirectX 9c or DirectX 11 via Winetricks.


Install .NET Framework:
Code: [Select]
sh winetricks corefonts dotnet20

Install the downloaded DirectX:
Code: [Select]
sh winetricks directx9And install the patch for VC ++


3). Download and install the client, if already installed, then use the editor L2 File Edit ++ , edit L2.ini and set these options:
UseHardwareTL = False
UseHardwareVS = False

And save in 413 encoding.



Ignore that error with the AGP message. You can press on Close button or Enter.

MOST IMPORTANT
SELF STARTUP
Now there are 2 values for extensions - the 1st is the desktop itself in Wine - Emulate the desktop (where the value is manually entered) and in the file in the game folder L2 / system / options.ini - open it with a notepad in Wine and thus can change the initial resolution of the run line. These 2 resolutions are changed with different variations - 800 * 600, 1024 * 768, 1280 * 1024.
