Try changing permissions on your UO directory, worked for me.

Try to launch it via shell (gnome terminal - konsole - your_favourite_shell_program)

wine /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files...... UO.exe

if you encounter an error, you will read in the shell (that's why I love Linux )

I don't understand how this could work for anyone. In the current build of wine, you cannot run some programs unless your working directory is set to the same value as the executable. UO is one of these programs. I can run UO's client.exe just fine when I am in the "Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy" directory (and yes, I tried to also install in a directory without spaces). If I try to run client.exe from anywhere else, it bombs saying it cannot open fonts.mul. This is why Razor cannot connect to the client, because the client dies the same way when Razor tries to launch it. I have not been successful trying to find how to set the default working directory in wine. Most of the workarounds say to create a script that changes to the directory where the executable is located, and then execute it. Obviously this will not work, because Razor launches client.exe by itself and will not accept a batch file. For the people that got it working, what exact version of wine did you use?

It works fine for me. I'm using wine v. 1.0.1

you install razor using wine, then point it to your uo installation folder, like that:View attachment 11010
(Z:\ points to your / directory. check the right path in your system.)

razor crashes after writing this info to the registry, but when you reopen it, the info will be there.

hope i could be helpful

Nope, didn't work. It keeps saying the same thing. I tried using Z: in just data, then both client and data. Then tried C: in the data directory and the client directory, then both. Taking Razor completely out of the equation, I cannot even launch the client.exe itself unless I'm in the same directory as client.exe. Searching for this I find many people having the same problem, and the only solution being to write a script that changes to that directory first and then launches the app. This cannot work for Razor launching client.exe though. Oh well.

Hmmm... no idea.

Can you please post the shell output when you fail to run Razor and UO?

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

I had the same error....
I can run UO alright, but when I try to run UO from Razor, that end saying "cannot find thread id", I look in debug message of wine and must of errors is about overflow, non supported instructions to multi-threaded , no interface found or non-32 bits instructions....

When I run UOPatch.exe, that end in error ("The patche not end correct, your client will be old, press Ok to play or Cancel to exit" some like that)
So i have to run many time, because, if ends in erro the next time will apply correct the pacth.

I'm using Debina 4, my kernel is pos compiled to Duo Core 2 and wine version is 1.1.7:
$ uname -a;wine --version
Linux S8Box 2.6.24.3-s8 #2 SMP Wed Sep 3 20:36:59 BRT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
wine-1.1.7

Soo.... if that run in many clients, why didn't run where? ¬¬

And for me, the install of dotnet2 need ie6, without that, dotnet didn't install, winetricks have ie6.

Thanks for that topic =]

What if you try a generic kernel (and not a SMP)?

 

[octpos]

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

I have 2 kernel, one not compiled in my machine, so I can try... but....
I must recompile everything, sound drive, wine, probability reinstall dotnet2 with winetricks.

BUT ... i think that it's not the problem, i don't install the SMP patch, i only recompile priority to Duo Core 2 ... but maybe i lost suport to some think, some intruction... ^^

I will test....=]

 

[osd_daedalus]

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

well, on my Core2Duo I had a strange problem sometimes ago: if I use a SMP kernel, I can't see the other processor (I could see only 1). This didn't appear to me when I use generic.

Well, I will test with a SMP kernel too and I will let you know... for what Ubuntu offers.

I must recompile everything, sound drive, wine, probability reinstall dotnet2 with winetricks.

You are making me miss my Slackware adventures

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

For the "cannot find thread ID", My laptop has this problem too. This sounds really strange, but it does work.

Run razor from updater.exe every time you launch it. I haven't checked any further to try and find out why this works, but I've experimented with it and every time I directly launch razor it fails, and every time i run from updater.exe it works. Only on my laptop though, on my desktop it works just fine.

 

[osd_daedalus]

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

So,
I have just managed I have already a SMP kernel Anyway, looks like it's not the problem.
I have tried to launch Razor updater.exe and Razor.exe in any location, and it works. But I have tried launching UO client.exe and I can reproduce what dprantl says:

I can run UO's client.exe just fine when I am in the "Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy" directory (and yes, I tried to also install in a directory without spaces). If I try to run client.exe from anywhere else, it bombs saying it cannot open fonts.mul. This is why Razor cannot connect to the client, because the client dies the same way when Razor tries to launch it.

UO client.exe runs only if you type wine client.exe and you are already in the UO directory.

But why Razor can find UO correctly here?
I have the UO Data Directory field as (Auto Detect) and works well.
I also tried to change as Z:\home\user\.wine\drive_c\Programmi*\EA Games\Ultima Online 2D Client\ and I can run UO.

* as Italian, I am not sure if it should be "Programs" or "Program Files" in English.

Something is true... I can reproduce only partially this error, but Razor can recognize UO path well here.

Re: HOWTO: UO + Razor on Linux

Hello
I have a weird problem.. When running Razor and pressing Okay after everything is setup.. It starts loading but I get a grey screen with "Unhandled Exception" and this info inside:

And then when pressing okay it shuts down.. Why?

This should be the problem. I suggest you to try to reinstall fonts by following my instructions on first post. Let me know if you can resolve it.

Thanks alot! That worked great
Btw! I recognize your nick, you didn't play on Imagine Nation back in the days or am i mistaken?
