Browser functions now work in BYOND!
Hurrah! No DLL override needed!
Now we only have a few more bugs fixed.
But at least this fixes a lot more games.

Starting my virtual 8.10 right now, let's see how it works. I know they made some good changes in the latest release.
I'm going to start updating the AppDB a bit more for this newer WINE release, to see what bugs are left.
I'm going to report that the ole32 login bug is fixed, it seems to be on mine. I still have Dreamseeker crashing when it entered a game though, so any test data would still be rated garbage.
Getting closer!

Some games still crash due to the \icon being used, games like Mafia are stable.
Will you answer my friend, he made a post on the forums, but no one has replied to it. I am saying this here since he isn't online, and I want to delete the post he made on my blog.

In my case is crashes on just about any game I attempt.
Hmm..
Make sure your using WINE 1.1.4 and have no DLL overrides.
I am on 1.1.4, and I am using no DLL overrides. Believe me, this has been a longstanding problem. The issue (funnily enough) is Dreamseeker dies gracefully, giving me a Illegal Access message box. This makes finding a proper backtrace to send to WINE a bit tricky.
This may be part due to you using Gentoo Linux, no one using Ubuntu is having this problem.
I think we'd nailed that, in a previous discussion.
Flippin' sweet. It worked! It was slow as sin, but I was able to launch LRS from a fresh copy of WINE with the only tweak being turning off graphic acceleration. There was still about a one second delay on keystrokes, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Chatters, however, crashes on me the second I login. I don't think there are any icons in the text box, so it is likely an interface object. I'll take a look tomorrow if I have the time.
I made a demo displaying all of the Interface objects, so I can only assume it's a \icon being used somewhere.

Of course running in software mode is going to be a tad slower, but it works perfect on my (high end) computer. :D
Did Tom take out OpenGL yet?
OpenGL still works. It's just not publicized.
As long as OpenGL works, there is no need to worry about getting DirectX to work.
Just put "graphics-hwdriver gl" in your seeker.txt file and see if it works.

Where is the seeker.txt file supposed to be?
With WINE it would be ~/BYOND/ probably.(WINE reroutes My Documents to Home)
