last night I wasn't able to land on Primus. Today it seems fine.

Update: Kubuntu 16.04 64bit Fresh install of the OS. Fresh Install of Wine. Ran Winecfg then closed. Then Followed my install above but.. Only installed the Dotnet20, crypt32 and MicrosoftCoreFonts. Seems with 16.04 the image glitches have gone away. Edit: Did a multi-Client test: Handles multiple clients well. I did find one major flaw though. Gating, docking, wormhole or anything that would cause a map/sector change, if you alt-tab out during this change process will freeze the client forcing you to run a kill command on the client. If you wait for each client to finish the sector/map change then you'll be just fine.

If you just google eandb_demo.exe you'll find plenty of people hosting the files. However, we/net7/Emulator can't guarantee if the files are safe to use. So download those at your own risk.

Through some basic tweaking. I've been slowing making the switch to Linux. Its' been tough but it's working. There have been a few pieces of software that keeps me tied to Windows. But Now all my games I play are working on Kubuntu. List includes, WoW, Team Fortress, Halflife and Finally Earth and Beyond. I have found other replacements for some of the windows Softwares that I use, and some of the windows software works with Wine/PlayonLinux so all seems to be rolling. I'll still keep it on dual boot.

OK, folks, I got the star itch again, and decided to retry installing on Linux.. I am happy to report that EnB is up and running on my Linux client. Here's what I'm running: Kubuntu 15.10 - Installed PlayOnLinux --Tools, Manage WIne Versions --(Wine Versions X86) Tab, Install 1.9.7 (after it downloads/installs, and shows in the right pane. X out of that screen.) --Click on "Install A Program" , Then "Install a non-listed program" At the bottom. --Select "Edit or Update and existing application' -- Go through the prompts, and install some components. I installed dotnet20, crypt32, Microsoftcorefonts, Mono Then install EnB client. Install Net 7 client and update. Created shortcut for Net 7. Thats I'll I have done. Enb runs surprisingly well. There are a few image glitches but nothing too major.

Well if it turns out kyp has that many cookies under his bed... "Share the wealth" !!I like cookies too! :)

Here's my thought.    Many years ago I ran my own forum,  It was around for about 7 years. Server costs were the bulk of my costs. and I had many people do the same thing. Wanted a complete break down of the funds. Simply put,   Doesn't matter where the funds are going. Doesn't matter if they are going into the software, hardware or into their pockets.  It's a "Donation".  When you donate something, you kinda give up on where the money is going..... Now the argument may be different if we were told that in order to play this game we had to make a payment every month. If that were the case, then we are paying for a service.    No Need for transparency here. Only thing needed to say, "It helps to keep the server running".   But this is just my humble opinion.

I'll look at my router and see if there is anything of. I don't think so.. Same settings I have been running for years.    I've messed with the different switches and same thing. Enter user/pass, select char and you'll see the map loading screen. This is where it will stall out.    I'm starting to think its' the video card in my laptop. No additional drivers available. And from my poking around the "Intel Haswell - ULT" is not the greatest card out there. But should at least be able to play EnB.    No problems connecting or playability in Windows. But that's not the goal here. 

Update!!   So I was putting in the cert in the wrong area.  I used this command to get the current cert: openssl s_client -showcerts -connect sunrise.net-7.org:443 Copied from --Begin...--  to --End ...-- Then imported the cert into the "trusted root" area.    Now I don't' get the INV-300  (Yay!!  Hampster Dance!!) Megan Accepts my user and pass.  I see my characters . but..   Crashes at the loading map.. Just hangs....     

Nice directions Nimsy.    However here's my issue. Complete purge and recreation of wine and installs of the game.  using the 2nd command to start Enb I can get to Megan but can't input any text in the user or password box.    Using the 1st command I can type the name but still get the INV-300   Edit: So at this point I run,  WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb winetricks dotnet20 Then:  WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start "C:\Program Files\EnB\Net-7\bin\LaunchNet7.exe" This will allow the Net7 Launcher load and update, Then you click the play button and wait anywhere from 2-4 minutes before EnB loads but still runs into the Inv-300

I'll zig zag across an ore field. Keep mining till the baddie starts to hit me. Wait till I get many of them next to me then warp across the field and start mining. Back and forth till the field is clear. 

Both Mazz and Mond are working now..    Completed them this afternoon. 

I will express my thanks as well. I signed on in 2010 and the emu has come a long way. Great job Fellers. 

Update: Got a little further today. Installed playonlinux. Along with that I ran the wine 1.1.3.4. Extensions in POL I installed IE6, Mono, Geko and Dotnet20.    I can run launcher, when I click on play the load time of ENB is long.. about a 4 minute wait time but it will load. I don't get the INV300 error when logging in.    I can see the character selection. Go any further then that I just see a flash of the map screen then crash back to login. Here's the kicker.. When I select the Prototype reorder I'll get the Inv-300 when loggin in. 

I downloaded Play on Linux and was able to install multiple copies of Wine and still got the same Inv error. But i'm, thinking even though POL is using seperate installs of Wine, it's still using core files from the main install.    From what I gathered, I think it has to do with security certificates. 

....Side note.. Just realized I was logged into the forums with my alt and not my main...  (BuzzStPt = BuzzStPoint)

So I've been working on this for awhile now and I've made huge progress.    I got Net-7 launcher to work and update. The game loads. Only thing holding me back is the "INV-300" error now.    Running Ubuntu 14.04 and Wine 1.6

Understandable.. But always a good on for the "to do" list...

Instead of alt-tabbing from game to browser, I think it would be handy if we could go to a terminal and see the net-7 database.....   Just a thought...

Well mine's simple...   My name is Buzz and I live in Stevens Point (BuzzStPoint)...

I'm not sure this is a Linux or an EnB issue.   While playing EnB, the touch pad or even an external mouse will work normally. Randomly the mouse/touchpad will stop working. Only way to fix this issue is to press the touchpad "off" button and back on again.  This will get my mouse/touchpad working again. But it will fail randomly. Anywhere from 1 min to 10 minutes.  I can run WoW and Ulitma Online with no issues, and normally computer usage will have no mouse/touchpad issues.    Any ideas from anyone?

I have a mostly good install of Linux EnB install.  Currently running Kubuntu 13.04 and wine 1.4.1   At 1st my install wasn't good, couldn't get Net7 to run properly.  But my install is kinda long but worked out in the end. Don't ask me why.... Cause I just don't know.    1st followed the instructions to install EnB. When I couldn't get that to work.  I installed WoW. That turned out just fine, played that till I was bored.  Then I plugged away at trying to get Ultima Online to work. Once I got that to work I played UO for a while.    Loaded up Enb and seemed all worked fine.  So, Something with Enb, Wow and Ultima Online completes the install for EnB.    Should also note that Net7 client is installed, but EnB is not installed, I copied the whole folder over from my Windows drive.      Now to my problem.    The Touch pad.  When I load up and start the game it all works fine. But somewhere along the line, the mouse cursor will go all funky. I'll put the cursor where I want it and click it will jump upwards, then back down. If it doesn't jump around like that it will not click at all.  So far the only remedy is to push my touch pad off button, then push it again to turn it back on. This seems to correct it, but only for a short while or sometimes for a few seconds.    This only seems to happen on EnB.    Ideas? I'm no linux freak, so I'm still learning. 

My son and I both played in the beta, but didn't continue in the live as I couldn't afford the fees to play the game. 

And der it was.... Gone....

Ok, Just simply couldn't make it work I removed Wine, (Since I only used it for WOW),  And installed according to the tutorial with same versions.    It will load to login, and charictor selection, but stalls at the map screen.    I can get it to work partially, it only updated once. But now I have 2 issues.    When I run  "wine LaunchNet7.exe" the launcher will load but come with an error:   "Error while checking updates for Net7 Details: An error occurred performing a webclient request.   Error while checking updates for client."     My 2nd issue is erratic mouse movements while in EnB. When I move the mouse, (Touchpad) the mouse will shot back and forth erratically.    Wondering if VirtualBox would run better.
