Greetings,

This is a little late, however, it may help answer a few questions for people that use Linux and Wine and want to connect to a RunUO shard.

Prerequisite:
Linux - installed
Wine - installed
UO - installed

The first issue is connecting to the shard. Since ConnectUO and Razor do not run well under Linux we cannot use them. You need to manually change the login.cfg file.

Find the UO folder (hidden and probably under /.wine) and backup the login.cfg file. Remove the last line, then change the other line to match the shard you are connecting to.

Now, run the client.exe (not uo.exe otherwise it will try and patch). If you want, copy and modify the shortcut on the desktop. Include all the Wine information too.

Give it a try now. If it does not work, then try another shard.

The second issue is encryption. If it still does not work, then you will have to create a new client.exe that is not encrypted. For that try UORICE, it will work under Linux.
