These are the installation instructions that I compiled from back on pre-release and has been retested recently. Once I can figure out how to get a crosstie to automate this, the tip will be obsoleted. Thats truly how simple this is, yet how painful the exclusion of a few simple things can be. Also hosted on my site with some more detail and screenshots. http://www.schotty.com/wordpress/?p=167
Install via the Crosstie. During the TESO installer, it is advisable to untick the DirectX and Visual C++ installs. We already have this since the bundled installers are broken under wine upon last notice.
Upon completion close out or force kill the updater (it should lock up due to the missing certificate). If Crossover doesn't see a successful installation, thats OK, just hit cancel and it will continue along.Then download and Install the Thawte digital cert via the Internet Settings for this bottle. Here is a link to the certificate. http://www.schotty.com/wordpress/?attachment_id=17...
If you have problems launching, not an issue. These are the following tweaks I have noticed work very well.
Either way, quit out and edit the main configuration file: ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/UserSettings.txt You want to change or add the line SET GraphicsDriver.7 "OPENGL"
Set a virtual desktop up. And avoid if possible any Alt-Tabbing. Can get crashy very fast if you do.
For best practices, you may want to add the registry key for DirectX to know your video card memory. Run Regedit and goto the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ Create a new key called "Direct3D" Create a new string value called "VideoMemorySize" Double Click on VideoMemorySize to set the value in MB (remember 1024 MB == 1GB, 2048MB == 2GB, etc)
I have found that disabling the "Performance Enhanced Graphics" option in the Crossover bottle is beneficial.
