Linux Ubuntu install guide for EPW

[Vthyarilops]

No need for all those components, all you need is a clean 32-bit wine prefix with IE8, vcrun6, and vcrun2013, only thing i can't figure out is how to get fonts to render correctly (stars appear as squares, etc).

made a PlayOnLinux install script if anyone wants, just throw the install folder in drive_c, emulate a virtual desktop at your resolution in winecfg, and make shortcuts to patcher/elementclient

That no longer works. You NEED an actual copy of Windows to play PWI. No exceptions. No workarounds.

Running through Bootcamp (MAC OS X) or Wine (Linux) will no longer work.

How about you stop misinforming people? You have no clue what you are talking about.

Yeah this is absolutley bullcrap. It works fine on linux. Like posted somewhere else the only problem is to get fonts to render stars etc. correctly.
On pwi the problem was solved by installing chinese fonts as far as I remember. Didn't try that on epw yet. Cheers
