PlayOnLinux

A project that makes windows games playable with wine on linux.

http://www.playonlinux.com/

Installation instructions

This worked for playing League of Legends on openSuse 12.3 and 13.1 with Playonlinux 4.2.2

  • Install wxWidgets
  • Install 7zip
  • Force wine to use 32 bit
  • Download newest playonlinux
  • Unpack playonlinux
  • Start playonlinux
  • Install an offered program from within playonlinux gui
sudo zypper install wxWidgets
sudo zypper install p7zip
sudo echo "export WINEARCH=win32" >>/etc/bash.bashrc.local
wget http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/4.2.2/PlayOnLinux_4.2.2.tar.gz
tar xzvf PlayOnLinux_4.2.2.tar.gz
cd playonlinux
./playonlinux

To get the newest dev version from git, do this instead of wget, tar, cd:

git clone https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/POL-POM-4
cd POL-POM-4/

Update

Step 1: Update playonlinux Script

cd ~
wget http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/4.2.4/PlayOnLinux_4.2.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf PlayOnLinux_4.2.4.tar.gz
cd ~/playonlinux
./playonlinux

Start game, to check if that helped already (unlikely)

Step 2: Update Game

./playonlinux
  • Uninstall
    • select Game
    • select Deinstall
    • select Delete Drive
  • Reinstall
    • Select download Setup
    • Install according on screen instructions (don't change path, don't let setup start the game)

This worked for the update 4.2.2 -> 4.2.4 Update to 4.2.5 ongoing...
