It runs, and runs well, on my Mac with PlayOnMac.. Disable GLSL, enable Multisampling, and use WINE from 1.6.1 and it's fine..

Make sure to install .NET 2.0, DX9, core fonts and XML

It runs well.. can use catacombs char rendering.. Will need to use non-reflective water.. but everything else works..

Tried several times to repeate this on a Linux machine.. failed.. not sure what the differences are.. I suspect its driver related?

It couldve become unsupported as Wine updated. It may fixed in a later update. I'll try running this on my linux box.

I tried this for playonmac and i couldn't' get much stability. I emails code weavers and he worked in this to the crosstie but after redownloading the whole bottle, I still have the issue of a logindll I wonder if there was someway where I could just add the logindll to my crossover install but I am not sure savvy. I had this working for the most part of play on mac but when it would go into full screen it would not always load for me. I love this game and we were just thinking about getting into it, but I don't want to go and do my pc to play it :(

Are you still successfully running this on playonmac? I am going to try to uninstall the program dn reinstall it to see if I can get daoc on it again.

Hi there.. I'm stable using WINE 1.6.2, and using a virtual desktop setup. It is unstable if you go truly full screen.

Setup was done manually in PlayOnMac:

• Install d3dx9_36, dontnet20, Microsoft Core Fonts, XML3 & XML4, vcrun6, vcrun2005.
• Could also install IE8.. I've seen no real difference though... I think XML3/4 is really all thats needed.

Configure DAoC install and click Display tab.

• Disable GLSL Support
• Direct Draw Renderer: OpenGL
• Offscreen rendering mode: pbuffer
• Enable Multisampling

Configure WINE

• Graphics: Emulate a virtual desktop (I went 1920 x 960); when you start DAoC, you'll need to go into setup and scroll to correct resolution. Use classic water.. or you'll see a big vast void of black nothing where water should be. :D

A virtual desktop seems to stabilize the install for me.. if I let it go true full screen, it's unstable, especially if I tab out to another app..

Performance seems fairly good for me.. Just wish my money I spent on Crossover was as effective as this free setup. lol

I can understand ya on that. Well I ended up screwing up my initial playonmac install and I am trying o reinstall the program but it keeps hanging up on me. And it won't install anything on it again, if I can get it to work and install DAOC I Will try again what you suggest, it ran rather well for me but it was a bit buggy, but it was still exciting nonetheless

I don't know if its my connection or just playonmac being weird but I was trying to do a clean reinstall because I screwd the game up so bad I c ouldn't even get past the login lol

I will hopefully get it all taken care of and report back to you soon.

I wanted to comment and thank you! I was able to get it running efficiently on my mac. I have a hard time clicking things sometimes but other than that its wonderful!
