Well, I got it work perfectly fine. However, Anything v500 or higher just does not work. Primarily because BYOND just sits at the "Loading Game Information" part without any progress bar. I'm just going to leave it on to "Load" the rest overnight to see if it does load it. I can move it around but if I click the blue minimize button it freezes up and I have to right click the BYOND icon in the status bar and click exit to close it.
Anything below v500 seems to work 100% fine. Other than some letters looking weird and there not being any html (bold, italics, the usual). However, there's HTML in the web browser. Oddly. I tried this on my Shell Server. Also visited a few games. But, not many.. as the games I wanted to visit were all v500.

Hi,
First off, is there absolutely no way you can update to the latest Wine? It's always worth updating unless there is a known bug where a commit break an important feature. This is not the case here. I got it working with Wine 1.7.4. The main problem with your installation is IE - please check "wine iexplore" works or crashes. If it works, is it the "Wine Internet Explorer" or the actual internet explorer opened in wine. The way I got it to work was: - Create a fresh, clean, 32-bit wineprefix (WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path wineboot) - In that wineprefix, install the following libraries: wsh56 wsh57 jscript mfc42 vcrun6 (WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks wsh56 wsh57 jscript mfc42 vcrun6) - Once it's done, install ie7 (WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks ie7) - Install ie8 (WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks ie8) - Finally, install and run BYOND. (Don't forget to add WINEARCH and WINEPREFIX) To sum up, these are the commands you need to run, replacing your/prefix/path with your prefix path: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path wineboot WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks wsh56 wsh57 jscript mfc42 vcrun6 WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks ie7 WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=your/prefix/path winetricks ie8 NOTICE: Do not use this prefix for ANYTHING but BYOND. Any changes to the system apparently can spontaneously break BYOND. Peculiarly, installing ie8 without ie7 first will cause an mshtml crash during loading, and you cannot install ie7 if ie8 is already installed. | |
It worked. Thanks. If you can, you should make a report about it on the wine website. If not, I'll do it when I'm free.
| |
Well, it's something you can put in the comments on the AppDB for BYOND 4.x, then it can be worked in as work-around instructions.
| |
I added a test report containing this to WineHQ, I suggest adding a link to it in a sticky once it has been approved - although it currently seems to have no maintainer, perhaps I should volunteer for this.
| |
I've volunteered for that, they're just considering it currently. I think we'd probably just link to WineHQ's AppDB entry in general in a sticky though, yes.

I was the original creator of it. Let me get back in there and see if I can update it. EDIT: Nope, looks like my account has expired from being a maintainer of it. A lot of stuff needs to be cleaned up there, links, downloads, screenshots, etc. | |
Added Wine instructions on the sticky and AppDB page.
| |
Thanks.
| |
There should be a post explaining how to set it up on BYOND as well. May get some Linux users to use BYOND as well. Never know.
| |
You ... click the installer and run? I'm gonna be honest, I don't think hardcore Linux users will have any qualms with that process.
| |
They won't need to include the extra files like Marq told me to do?
| |
Just the stuff that's on the AppDB's instructions, I believe?
| |
Alright. Seems good.
| |
Are you on Mac OS X or Linux?

Sorry to open up such an old post...can I get some assistance with this? I'm attempting to install BYOND through Wine on an Acer C720 chromebook that is running Ubuntu that I used this (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/12/ install-ubuntu-on-your-chromebook-using.html) to install.
I tried running the above commands, but I think it's mentioning something about being 64 bit. Any help would be great, thanks. (Also, I have very little experience with linux...) It's stuck on loading games. EDIT: I got it to load in by doing all of the commands on a new folder, that I let it create. After researching what everything was, that became more apparent to me. Now, though, I seem to be having a different problem. I'm trying to connect to Mystic Journey and it won't let me. It says guest keys can not log in...I'm logged into the client but apparently it's not thinking I am once I try to connect to the game. Anyone encounter this? EDIT 2: So this issue still persists despite all of my research. Every game I log into, it will log me in using a guest key instead of my key that I'm logged into the pager client with...would love some help with this. Also, it says "Dream Seeker may be experiencing problems reaching byond.com" I'm sure this is relevant to the issue at hand. Thanks | |
Okay, so I am no longer having the issue of "Dream Seeker may be experiencing problems reaching byond.com", but I am still having the issue of logging in as Guest. It appears the pager is logged in but dream seeker doesn't think it is.
The preference for "Login to games as Guest if pager is not running" seems to be what forces me into guest...disabling that doesn't allow a game to open at all. Clicking join just doesn't do anything. Others on the forums have mentioned this issue (not within wine) to be maybe related to firewalls, but afaik I don't have a firewall configured within Ubuntu. Any help would be great. | |
BYOND only worked well with Wine back in versions 3** and some 40*.
In all honesty BYOND don't support a GUI on anything other than Windows. Your issue does sound like a firewall is blocking it.. If all else fails boot up a Windows VM. | |
