Lord of the Rings Online Forum

I am running on a 2010 Macbook Pro 17" i7 2.66 with 8GB RAM and the 330M graphics card.

LOTRO will not run at all unless I first disable Pixel Shader in winecfg. I can't even get to the login screen. It simply crashes on startup and gives me the white Abort window.

After disabling pixel shader, I can start up LOTRO, and the game starts in 640x480. I go to Options to change the graphics setting to match my screen resolution, and I get a blank white screen with the LOTRO game "ring" icon in the upper left corner. I can click the ring and I get an option to "Restore". When I select Restore, the screen goes black and Crossover locks up entirely and I have to force-quit. So, LOTRO will not run on Crossover at all in fullscreen unless I want to stay at 640x480.

If I switch to windowed, I am able to launch LOTRO and change the graphic settings to the proper screen resolution and play the game.

I can run with draw distance and certain settings on High, but anti-aliasing is disabled without the pixel shader. I also experience a lot of hitching while moving around... perhaps that is also related in some way.

Is this a problem specific to the 330M graphics card? Anyone else having this sort of problem?

I have a similar problem. I was getting a black screen after startup before. I installed the new version 10.0.1 of crossover games and upgraded my install, it didn't help.
I tried a clean install with the Mines of Moria exe (I have downloaded the new f2p install but haven't tried it yet, but I don't think the problem is on the LotRO side really.)
And now with my new install I get your symptoms, I don't get the opening splash screen like I did iwth my old install, it just exits.
I have not yet tried turning pixel shaders off.

One thing I did notice is that my bottle has the 2005 Microsoft distributable listed twice, is this normal? I have not manually installed anything extra myself.

I am frustrated, I have never got this to work and I've been trying on and off for 4 months now...
