[Linux(maybe mac?)/Wine install guide.]

Thanks Nintenduh for this guide. I have followed it and now I can play on my Macbook running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It's pretty cool I can run the game fullscreen and get 12-15FPS, considering the shitty specifications of this machine (Graphic card Intel 945GM, CPU 2GHz Intel Core Duo and 1MB RAM).

 

I have encountered a couple of issues and I thought to share it here in case somebody is stuck:

 

1) It seems mono isn't hosted anymore at http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.4.2.3/windows-installer/3/, hence the wget command will fail. I don't know any reliable source, therefore I'm not going to provide any link. But if you search at Google for mono-2.4.2.3-gtksharp-2.12.9-win32-3.exe, it will give you a few links. Just download the file and run wine mono-2.4.2.3-gtksharp-2.12.9-win32-3.exe

 

2) When I try to run the N7 Launcher with the command wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Net-7/bin/LaunchNet7.exe I get a window error saying that the configuration cannot be read. What I do instead is to manually go to the location (cd wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Net-7/bin/) and then run the Launcher (wine LaunchNet7.exe).

 

3) Once I click on the Play button, an icon (Login) appears at the top taskbar. Then I Agree the E&B Service Rules of Conduct and it seems nothing happens (the Macbook doesn't have an activity HDD light). No worries, after a few seconds the game starts.

 

Hope it helps if anybody needs it.

[Unable to Update to 459, cdata hash error]

Not quite sure what's happening based on the information folks. I was unable to duplicate this so therefore unable to see the issue. 

 

Here's the file, try this one:

 

cdata.zip

 

Should be unzipped / extracted to your net7/bin directory.

Thanks a lot. That worked and now I'm playing the game  :D

[Unable to Update to 459, cdata hash error]

I'm having same error. Turned off antivirus and run as Administrator. No solved. I have seen here another post, suggesting to delete the file. I did also, I deleted cdata.dat without any luck.

[Hash Errors.]

navigate to that file and delete it, run the launcher as admin and let it update again, it should pick up the correct version.

Hi, I'm new here and unfortunately I'm having the error described here. I have deleted cdata.dat, but I get the same error (Hash of downloaded file and hash in server manifest does not match).

 

I'm running W7 64-bit and I have run LaunchNet7.exe as Administrator.

 

Please, any help? Thanks a lot.
