--- Comment #26 from proveit@tutamail.com --- It looks like the crash, for me at least, is computer-specific.
This is the procedure I used in a Linux Mint 18 Mate 32-bit virtual machine:
1. Set desired Wine prefix to a new, unused prefix. Example: export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wineROtest 2. Download the latest version of Winetricks. Give it execute permission with chmod +x winetricks. 3a. Install vcrun2008: ./winetricks vcrun2008 3b. Gecko and Mono prompts pop up when winetricks first writes files to the new prefix. Install them both. 4. Install RO using the new installer: wine msiexec /i Ragnarok_Installer.msi 5. Run RO from its desktop shortcut and let the patcher update
This procedure successfully got me into the game in the virtual machine. However, the patcher crashes (step 5) when I try it on a physical computer with the EXACT same version of Linux. I did not need to use -q or to install any version of IE in the virtual machine to get the game to run.
The attachments "Backtrace using new RO installer" and "Backtrace with -q and vcrun2008" show crashes on the physical computer. Can anyone please look through it and find out why it's crashing when the test virtual machine won't? It could be hardware specific. I did everything EXACTLY the same, so why is it crashing in one environment but not another? I am totally confused.
