This doesn't seem to work with the newest version of Discovery... I followed the tutorial very carefully three times (and two times with a bit of variation), all with the same result: DSLauncher just crashes, more or less immediately.
Debug gives me this error:
Code:
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe": Module not found <------This was resolved by editing system.reg
fixme:actctx:parse_manifest_buffer root element is L"asmv1:assembly", not <assembly>
err:module:import_dll Library mscoree.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\users\\mikg\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\\DSLauncher.exe") not found
My system:
Ubunutu 14.04
PlayOnLinux 4.2.8
Note: I manually downloaded mscoree.dll and put it in the system32 folder, to no avail.
EDIT: The game runs fine on a Windows virtual machine running on VMware Player; but still, I'd much rather not have to use Win.
