  • Does the black screen take 5 minutes to go away every time you open RoM or just the first time?

  • im getting the black screen too. :\

  • emm my question is maybe dumb , but when i have installed it , where do i find the game launcher?

  • Okay so iv downloaded everything, did everything you said to a T, after it is done downloading and updating it goes to that black screen and never changes over, iv given it plenty of time and waited, iv left it to sit for hours and it never goes to the game. So i exit and try again and it have to go through the whole process of downloading and updating it again just to sit and stare at that black screen... please please help.

  • okay so i figured out how to play it without having to re download and update it, but i still cant get past the black screen

  • ok so it has been working for me.. im at the update stage, crashes while updating sometimes but i just restart and it continues, I had that problem with a pc version too... but I can not find the directory where it installed the game.. lol i just open the wineskin that i used to install it and it starts the game. I wanted to find the directory for addons, when i installed it, it said its going to install in C:/program files/runes of magic and so on... well mac doesnt have a c: so where is it..?

  • Woah this is AWESOME Thanks! I was playing this game on parallels but it was sooooo slow well now i got a mac version i got 4 gb ram i can run it way faster thankyou!!

  • How comes when i write try to find stuff there are two mini windows in winetricks and i can find any of the writing you have...

  • it wouldent let me make new wrapper

  • does this crash often? and i have VMware Fusion so which works better?

  • if your mac runs slow then get clean my mac……...

  • alright so i did exactly what you did, i ran vcrun 05 and 08, i ran the other one called wininet, and ie6

    after that i downloaded runes of magic and installed everything and kept pressing next, and then when the RoM update got to 79% it just crashed and said they've detected serious problems, is there anyway you can help me?

    is it because i didnt choose the RoM.exe to open with wrapper, to be honest i didnt udnerstand what it meant. if your RoM update keeps crashing at 79% upvote so ppl can see

  • check inbox mate , got a few questions

  • IN 1.3.20 MOUSE BUG IS OBLITERATED

  • Requesting torrent with all contents (wineskin wrapper + client + directions) makes things a whole lot easier. Then all you have to do is post the torrent link!

  • @Phantom451208 I would love to upload this somewhere, but here's the problems I'm running into. First, my internet is horrible, running at 80 KB per second would take days to upload. Second, is finding a site that I can upload huge files to without paying.

  • @Keawolf At that speed, you really shouldn't be gaming online... What are you using for a modem? A toaster?

  • Requesting torrent with all contents (wineskin wrapper + client + directions) makes things a whole lot easier. Then all you have to do is post the torrent link!

  • @deevold No, It actually runs fine depending on your computer.

  • it demands a disk

  • The few of you who don'ts see 'Runes of magic.exe', I didn't have this executable file in my install either.  You can use 'Client.exe' to launch the game. Cheers and good luck, thanks for the vid.

  • I've researched the 'No EULA/Login Box' glitch. There is hope for some of you, and for others the only option is bootcamp.

    One thing you can try:

    Under Winetricks > Settings:

    Select GLSL disabled

    Select Multisampling enabled

    If these options still do not show the EULA/Login screen you can try Winetricks > Settings > GLSL enabled.

    As it stands Legacy ATI cards are SOL, you need bootcamp.

  • Apparently there is an issue with the older ati cards that prevents the loggin screen from loading.

  • installed everything and all the patches succesfully installed.  when i launch the game it takes me to the login screen with the waterfall and stuff but there is no Login box or anyything. just a pretty landscape. anyone have a fix for this?!? kthx

  • how did you get to the installer i downloaded the clint but no installer :(

  • Evry time i try to install it it goes on to 2,5gb and then i get a error meassage saying : something serious went wrong during the .....

    What should i do?

  • Installs and Updates work fine.

    But when I launched it,it went to the screen with river and waterfall with no login box.

  • @angel241 tone down your graphics

  • If your wondering why the RoM client isn't working, it's because when you make the Wrapper file, your supposed to drag the Runes of Magic.exe file onto the Wrapper file. THEN Runes of Magic should start downloading.

    Thumbs up so people can see this.

  • I'm subscribing to you, cause that worked!

    Now I can play with whenever I want. On my macbook

  • When i hit install windows software I am unable to save it to any files on my computer

  • i was installing and texture 0 1 2 3 4 were having problems i ignored it will this come back to ignore me?

  • @Keawolf I have downloaded everything and when I launch it the music starts playing. After a while the special mouse arrow thingy appears. Then some kind of screen which looks like nature but has some weird color change every now and then. It never goes into the log in screen though. What do I do then?

  • Hi all, I've tried to install following the guide but I can't download ie6 (MD5 mismatch). Any hints?

    thx

    l

  • mine keeps going to the loading and its fine till it trys and updates. Then it goes and crashes everytime and is thr ment to be a patching prgress after installation? Because wen i get to the choose runes of magic.exe as main it doesnt do any sort of patching or anyting.

  • Comment removed

  • the "new wrapper" option is unavailable/faded. any ideas?

  • @Bladeninja76 never mind, got up to attempting to download RoM and using Wine. it's been circle loading forever.

  • i have one problem cant find the rom runes o magic

    when i the normal one it doest react

  • Has anyone used this method and got it to work for 4.0?

  • @deviantgodd Meeee~

    More or less. It's usable. The only problem with mine is lack of audio, but I'm not complaining. I didn't expect it to work for me at all.

    I downloaded the slim version. I don't know if it makes a difference either way, just thought I'd throw that in there.

  • Thanks for the video, I am getting a problem that it seems other people are getting. Install/update goes perfectly but when it load all I get is the background. No where to sign in - just the background and landscape of the river/waterfall. I've ran the install process about 3 times now. I'm sure what's coming up is the end user agreement but I cant see it and I cant accept it. Anyone having the same problem and have a solution?

  • The audio doesn't work at all. I've maxed all in game audio, but there's not a sound. Everything else works i guess...

  • I have a few problems. like for one, it wont let me create a desktop icon. so when i close it i have to reinstall it everytime, and second when it finally loads it shows the title screen but only the background image, it doesnt show a log in box just the background image and the music, i followed all the steps, also, you said save something to runes of magic.exe and i didnt see anything like that and i followed EVERY step in the video, plz help

  • Excuse me, but I've properly set up the game and whenever it finishes completely patching, a message comes up saying "wine has encountered a serious issue and needs to close."

    Could someone help me with this? It's happened before when I tried to install another game using crossover. I'm sure I followed the instructions perfectly.

  • this doesn't work for me. i downloaded the slim version and the full version and both give the same mistake when i try to open the installer. it says the installer ran into a serious problem and needs to be shut down and so it does. then wine goes oops! no input, guess the installer failed. i've tried redownloading the installer but i get the same mistake. i used the WS7wine1.3.23 and installed everything i needed to. i'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8 4GB ram, 2.66 ghz intel core 2 duo. any advice?

  • when u install the download to the wrapper how long should it take?

  • Problems for me:

    Mouse sensitivity WAY to high, and my mouse tend to disappear. (I can use it, but cant see it.. very frustrating.)

    Just by left-clicking and moving my mouse two cm to the left, it spins like 20 times around and its impossible to control. I can turn veeeryyy sloooowly and it works perfect, but its very annoying

  • @iammrbox at least u can play I still dont know how to do it? im so confused

  • I have a problem with the mouse sensitivity in-game. Its soo crazy, any suggestions on how to fix it?

  • Hello, this is a great guide, just one question.. how long did it take to run vcrun2005?

  • can any one help me if they got this to work i would apreciate it

  • ok so i downloaded RoM right. i wont let me open it. how did u get it into the little icon form where u can put it in a folder. i jsut have its big ass name in my mini download list and i cant put RoM into a folder. this is REALLY annoying.

  • i downloaded RoM from the website and it finished but when i try to open it it says i need an application to open it and im just wondering how to actually find it and put it in a folder

  • @sjake3ify I would say put it in applications folder would be my best guess.

  • When I'm installing the patches it just quits when I get to a certain point. Any suggestion on fixing this problem

  • I installed RoM and it was updating fine, but after closing it, how do I open it back up?

  • Its an awesome guide but ive been having some problems. When I started to instal it asked for a ROMSetup-1.bin, so I downloaded it from internet, and then it started to instal but it says that every file is corrupt, what should I do. THANKS

  • My friend has a mac and really want to play with him he said everything was working fine but then no login screen poped up plzz help we really want to get playing thx!!

  • Hi... great video.. one question though.. i installed and patched it without any problems, but when I run it, I only get the title-screen and nothing else, that is the background image of the title screen.. anyone else with this problem? and possible solution? ;)

  • @svendsek I have this same problem, where the title background screen pops up and nothing else, no login space.

  • @svendsek I have that same problem as well.

  • @svendsek I have the same problem. Have you gotten a solution yet?

  • @DieWernerBrueder I actually ended up with bootcamp and windows 7.. I recon that is the most efficient solution :/

  • @svendsek

    I get the same problem, has anyone been able to fix this?

  • Nevermind my last comment, after i kept running it a few times the patches started working lol.

  • I've already downloaded and installed this using plain wine, but the problem is whenever it's almost done patching, it says "Error, the client must shut down" and then i have to restart patching. any tips? and if i downloaded wineskin, could i drage the already installed unpatched version into a wineskin, or would i have to reinstall? please respond, and thanks for giving me an area to post in lol

  • Thanks for the awesome guide. Everything works great but i have a problem with my mouse. i can log in normally but after logging in my mouse goes crazy! i cant do anything... i used diffrent mouses as well but the problem is still the same. maybe you can help me :(

  • @foxtrott001 I too have a problem with the mouse. Anytime I hold it down to turn, it doesnt stay where its suppose to. This however doesn't prevent me from playing, but rather it is just an irritation. If you have windowed mode, just try to keep in mind where your mouse is. If you accidentally go off the game screen, it will go crazy.

    Right now I am in the middle of moving, and I don't have time to play with Wine to find a solution. :(

  • @Keawolf Hi, Keawolf. I managed to fix this problem, but I can't remember what I did, atm, so sorry. I messed around some on the graphics and stuff on Wineskin. You should try it. Just try and see what happens.

  • @Keawolf Ok, I think I've come up with a solution to the mouse problems. I tried to use the engine WS7Wine1.3.22 and I ran vcrun2005, vcrun2008, wininet and ie6. It works perfectly. You should really go try it.

  • @AelchimTDF thanks a lot now it works :) haha i dont have to use bootcamp anymore and run this stupid windows!

  • @foxtrott001 have you tried toning down your mouse sensitivity?

  • can i still play if i have version 10.6.7 and have 2GHz intel Core Duo

    2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory?

  • @VHigh9 This is just how I got RoM to work for me. It's completely experimental for other users. This is why I stress everyone to post bugs, errors, and other problems with it.

  • @Keawolf Does the audio work for you, because it doesn't work for me. If it didn't work in the beginning for you, how did you fix it, and if it did work from the beginning, any ideas how to fix it?

  • What happens when the patching is almost done and then it says error please close and try again will i have to download whole game again then try again?

    need help i have snow leopard meet all the requirements and wondering if everything is good

  • I did everything by the directions it all patched fine and all but when i loaded it then i came up but the confirm for the agreement or log in didnt come up what wrong?

  • @oboebbanjo Did the white or black screen come up at all? When this happens, you have to wait a good five minutes before the log-in screen appears.

    If this is not the case, please post more details on your problem.

  • @Keawolf Well yes it all came up the game loaded the music was playing i could see the background and everything it all seemed good but. the terms of agrement or login never came up

  • @oboebbanjo Hum... do you have the latest firmware update for your Mac?

  • @Keawolf yes my mac is completly updated have any other ideas? thanks for trying!

  • @oboebbanjo The only other thing I can think of for this issue is verifying the volume files on the Mac, and or reinstalling RoM. But it's an odd problem since the game itself actually comes up, but not the interface. It might be possible that you missed one of the four winetricks, but I wont assume anything since we are dealing with an unstable version. The next thing you could tell me is which kind of Mac you are using.

  • @Keawolf yes i do any other ideas?

  • At the patching. 3.0.2....something it freezes. It says nothing and is doing nothing... Any one knows any solution to this problem? :/

  • @DjZtamp The patching SHOULD NOT start below 3.0.5.2262. It starts at 3.0.5 and moves up. 3.0.2 is an older patch and game version.

    Please message me more details and I will help get your game to run. ^.^

  • Did not work, it says that an serious problem occures when im trying to start the game, should i try to re-install the game? and do i attach the RoM launcher to the RoM wrap ? :P

  • @olixxen Can you be a little bit more specific? When does this error occur, and what does the error say exactly?

    Does this happen during opening of the launcher, or the actual game?

    And yes, you have to have the RoM wrapper connected to the Runes of Magic.exe

  • So far its working, im on the patching, never got this far, i got a 57 rogue which i have to check on again, i also want to talk to my guildies. When im patching an error occures now and then, but i just keep patching it , and see if it works, did this happen to u ? :P

  • @olixxen Sometimes, you will get an error about it asking you if you want to continue running some sort of script or not. I just ignore this error because it is referring to some issue with Internet explorer to load the launcher images and links.

  • worked for days to try and get RoM to work with parallels then i saw this video so helpful thanks so much

  • @imboardtodeath Your welcome. :D If there's any issues or bugs that occur, feel free to post them.

  • will this work for other pc games such as league of legends?

  • @th0rim Wineskin will work with just about any PC game, but you may have to do some searching for other players that have used a wine method to get a specific game working.
