Does anyone have any experience playing on Linux using Wine or PlayOnLinux?

Drop me a PM or post in here on how you got it running and what is going on, i've always preferred Linux but usually getting games to work on it is a nightmare!

Ubuntu 15.04
Go to the play on linux site and install play on linux as detailed there Install the ubuntu package for wine Download the installer from this site Launch PlayOnLinux Click Install a program Install a non listed program Click next a lot select the installer you downloaded click next a lot the installer will run, and then the launcher will run, the launcher will update, but it only gets to 99% and then you have to close it. make a link to the SomaDevLauncher.exe in PlayOnLinux click the link and then click configure click the installed components tab click and install mfc42 click the Wine tab and click Configure Wine, this should launch a Windows'ey app click Graphics and check "Emulate a virtual desktop". OK out of and close all dialogues. Click run in play on linux and the launcher should load and update uncheck windowed mode click play you should be able to log on and the character selection screen loads there is then an error about the exe being the wrong version and the app exits after you click OK the full game worked in a previous patch, i believe the previous update killed linux support :( the game was somewhat playable under wine in the previous patch, text would disapear from menus but i could run around and hit stuff
