Runes of Magic Forum

With the latest crossover games 11.X version, and a 2009 macbook...

the game works flawlessly with no graphical abnormalities. The only problem is waiting for the login screen to appear from the blackness (which takes 3-4 minutes)

bottle:
winxp

using:
core fonts
microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable
microsoft visual c++ 2008 redistributable

hope it works for you all

thank you so mutch !

I purchased the CrossOver 11 upgrade and am running OS X 10.7.4 on an Early 2011 MacBook Pro with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 card. I installed the Core Fonts and the 2005 and 2008 C++ packages. ROM updates and launches but I never get the login screen. I see the background screen and hear the music and get the mouse pointer but that's it. Help Please!!

Here's the error the debug log shows:
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_select >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUseProgramObjectARB @ glsl_shader.c / 4774

I was unable to download the full game through Crossover v11.2 onto my iMac 2007 with OSX 10.7.4, but I used a download manager in Firebox to download the full 8.9 GB Runes_of_Magic_5.0.0.2535_full.7z from Atomic Gamer in 7 hours. It took between 30-60 mins to extract it with Unarchiver. Then with a blank winxp bottle I installed the game running ROMSetup.exe

After installing the microsoft visual c++ 2005 and 2008 redistributable I was able to run the Runes of Magic.app, the ClientUpdate.exe appeared, then a launch screen (screenshot uploaded) and it started downloading and patching to the latest version v5.0.1.2553.en. Several hours later I finally I could hit the Start button. It opened a black window with the letter "R" (first letter of Runes of Magic) on top that was resizable. It changed into a orange landscape (screenshot uploaded) with a rotating floating rock in the foggy distance and about 10 flickering distortions in the trees. No background music as the master volume was off (audio configuration) and no login screen.

I tried to install the following components without being able to get further: Core Fonts, msls31, MS DirectX runtime - Modern and DirectX9. The latter gave me a Crossover error. I was unable to uninstall these components, so I had to delete the bottle, reinstall and run the update again (very tiresome). In the video configuration the max resolution was 1024x768, windowed was ticked on and several effects. Next attempt will be with all effects off and full screen. My video card is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB.

The patching stopped after 3.5 hours with a dialog window I could only partial read "File patch_5.0.1.2541.en_5.0.1.2550.en.exe download e". There's a word under File and after download e is the first letter of a new word. I assume the full message was "File patch_5.0.1.2541.en_5.0.1.2550.en.exe download ended unexpected"

Then a message there's no Window application associated. I had to quit the launcher and Crossover to start the patch launcher again. After a break the patch completed, I pressed start and in full screen with all effected turned off I have the same result (see screenshot)

Because I also wanted to be able to run the web browser client of the game I also installed Internet Explorer 7 (see other forum post). IE 7 installed several other components: Flash 10 ActiveX Control, MS XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0, MS XMLLite for Windows XP, msls31, several TrueType (core) fonts and Wine Gecko (32-bit). With all this installed I still get no further than the orange landscape screen and no login window.

The above was with the Full client and now I patiently downloaded the Slim client of 6.5 GB at night from the same source. I tried it during the day, but the download speed was less 10% of normal. Also only the "orange landscape" screenshot was accepted.

I tried to install it with IE6 this time but got the error:

The ‘Downloading Internet Explorer 6’ task failed.

Could not download the Internet Explorer 6 installer.

The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
Continuing with the install may produce unpredictable results.

So, I had to abort and install IE7 as well.

End result: the same orange landscape screen like in the full version with flickering forest parts.

I 'm still searching the web for a solution. Some people suggest to add "-game -opengl" to the exe file, but I have no clue how to do it. In Linux they suggest to copy winsock.dll into system and system32 directory. On the mac it already is in the system32 directory but not in the system directory. if I run Wine Configuration from the bottle management, there only is a dpnwsock (native, builtin) in the Libraries. I also tried a virual desktop from 1024x768, but it still leads to the orange landscape.

I got the same Problem as the Poster above of me.... i got an Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon 5770 1GB vram and Crossover Mac 11.0.3. Installation and Patching works fine as it should, i had no problems with that. But when i get to the login Screen i just only hear at first only sound and after 5 - 10 Minutens i see the Orange login screen from runes of magic with this big rock flying ... and there are some graphic glitches they appear at this orange login screen. i think here is an issue with Crossover i tried it serval times with other specification such as win 2000 and direct X and stuff like that but i dont get further only see the login screen with this rock flying there and nothing else.
